For the large guide tubing size 2 I have used on MHX fly rods and color series spinning and casting. Always put a couple of extra pieces of rod tubing for each guide incase for some reason you need to redo the guide. I have made mistakes winding guides and had to start a guide over. Had to use tape which I have difficulty using or guide foot glue. The rod tubes are so much easier to use. To cut tube sections I find using scissors much easier to use than a razor blade
When using this tubing make sure that you cut the tubing thin. Also make sure you prep your guide feet because they will slip under the tubing easily. I prefer using this tubing over using tape. I have only needed to use size zero and two for the types of rods I am making. Make sure you put them on your blank first before doing anything else.
Great tool for helping with keeping guides in place while being to wrap. Thanks for the heads up.
When I took my in person class at mud hole, we use these tubes to hold our guides on. They work excellent. If you’ve never tried it look at the YouTube videos with them. Once leaving class, they offered us 15% off products and I bought a couple different sizes. I mostly build inshore rods. I bought size sizes zero and two. I will tell you that I most likely should have bought sizes. One and size is three. Size 3 works good for scooting all the way down towards the butt to hold. Say your hook keepers or your first couple of stripping guides. The smaller size one or maybe zero would be better up towards the tip top. This is way better than the hot glue which always gives me a problem when I’m trying to wrap my guides because I use too much glue.
Works great holding the guides for wrapping
I find the tubing to work well most of the time. On smaller rods at the skinniest end of the rod it’s a little large, even the smallest tubing.
I’m in love with Mudhole’s Guide tubing. I’m building a 2wt fly rod and the tubing was great. No more gutting tape and trying to manage it without it sticking to everything in sight. I used the small tubing on the toothpick size blank and tiniest guides worked great. It did a fantastic job holding the stripper guide on the but section. Guide tubing where were you all my life?
I mean it kinda works as described. I ordered all the sizes but personally I prefer to keep using tiny zip ties and my zip tie tool.
Have all sizes to keep on hand for getting the guides in place
I use this product in various sizes all the time for each rod.

I've built more than two dozen rods in my life. I'm always looking for a better way. I thought this tubing would be really great when I saw it in a rod building video. In practice I was disappointed. I went back to the hot-melt glue before I finished one rod. The tubing takes up too much space when mounting small footed guides near the tip of the blank.
Works well, if you use the roght size.
Works well, if you use the right size
