In-Person Beginner Rod Building Workshop

Highly recommend.

This workshop was worth every penny. The instructors know their stuff and walk you through every step of building a rod from the handle to the tip, with plenty of one-on-one help. The Education Center is first-class, and you go home with a rod you built yourself plus the know-how to keep building. Highly recommend it to anyone getting started.

This was a very educational yet fun filled experience. All of the instructors are a wealth of knowledge and eager to help. Class sizes are limited so you get allot of one on one help. I would recommend it to anyone at any experience level. I'll be doing it again next year!

My husband and I had a great experience at the Anaheim class, the instructors were very informative, helpful, and patient. They walked around the room answering questions and assisting those who needed extra support. We definitely learned alot in a short period but left the class with the knowledge and excitement to continue building! Crossing fingers for an Ontario, Ca class next yr!!
Thank you all again for an excellent experience, Dave and Angel.

The instructors were absolutely great. Learned so much. I intend to take the fly rod and surf rod classes. Great class.

I had done Rod Building many years ago and took this course as a refresher. I learned a ton of new things and the instructor to student ratio was terrific. Every instructor was helpful and open questions and supporting my rod build that day. I highly recommend this class.

This class was well worth the time and cost, the instructors were very knowledgeable and professional and took the time to ensure you understood the process of building a rod it was a great experience for me.

I usually try to learn everything using YouTube, but in this case, I'm so glad I didn't do that. The in person training was wonderful, I got so much out of it and the price is the best deal I'll see this year. Not only do you learn how to build a rod, but you walk away with the equipment to builder Rod.

The classes full of like-minded people and instructors are extremely deep in their knowledge. (It's a 10 star rating from me!)

A great intro class that opened my eyes to how rods are built and what really makes a quality rod. Easy to learn and fun to create.

Lots of teachers to help work through your rod. We had a wonderful experience

It was well organized and everything was provided. Explanations where clear and the group of instructors where quick to answer questions with a positive attitude. It was an enjoyable time. I took the class with my brother, I saw several family groups there. It’s a memory at the very least. Again, very worth it. I caught a 5lb bass less than 24 hours after completing the class.

There's a lot of information to pack into a 2 days class, but Todd, Kyle, and Jesus did a great job of taking their time to make sure we got it. They also made the class a lot of fun with good banter, stories, etc.

Great presentation and hands on instruction. All the instructors were very knowledgeable and helpful. My only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner. I would definitely recommend.

Another great class, with friendly and knowledgeable instructors!!

Great class very informative and helpful definitely worth the price. The instructors were very friendly and knowledgeable. You build your rod on the first day of class and then get the tools to take home for future builds. The second day is even better with a question and answer session along with technical information and demonstrations you will learn a lot. I am hooked and look forward to adding rod building to my list of hobbies.

When i first came in the door everyone was smiling and handing out name tags. Mudhole instructors I feel love what they are doing. They explained each and every step and even sit down at my seat and showed me what I did not understand. I feel this was money well spent. I am looking forward to taking another class next year.

This was my first time rod building ,needless to say I had no idea what it took ,this class was very informative and made me an amateur wanna be rod builder thanks so much everyone,for the tips and tricks I truly appreciate it

My nephew and I spend a lot of time fishing together, so I purchased two seats in the rod building class held in Edison, NJ last weekend for a unique Christmas present. We were looking forward to this class for months, and as luck would have it, a huge winter storm was slated to drop almost a foot of snow in New Jersey that weekend. The lead instructor, Todd, could have easily cancelled the class, but they persevered and held the class. I was blown away at the quality of both the course, and more importantly, the instructors. Todd, Cindy, Buzz, Jesus, and Mike were absolutely top-notch. Due to their extensive knowledge and enthusiasm, they were able to reorganize the two-day class into one day to accommodate people who needed to leave due to the storm. You would have never known. They provided thoughtful, patient instruction coupled with humor, and through their personable interactions made a longer day incredibly enjoyable. Each instructor offered their wealth of experience and knowledge, and we had such a great time! My nephew and I left the course with a new obsession and have both already built another rod. This was a terrific class, and I cannot praise each of the instructors enough to truly describe how much they made this class such a memorable experience for my nephew and me. Mud Hole is lucky to have this group of people representing their company!
