In-Person Beginner Rod Building Workshop

What a great class! The instructors were world class and where there guiding you through every step of rod building process. Even if you don’t think rod building is for you this class will change your mind. I will certainly look forward to the advance classes.

I took the in person rod building class and ended up with a fantastic inshore rod that i built. The instructors were incredibly helpful as there were a few steps i just needed help with. Since then I have built 6 rods which are replacing my factory built rods. I cannot explain how much i enjoyed this class.

We had really no idea what to expect, and in 2 days, my wife and I built 2 complete fishing rods! The programs’ goal is to provide you with takeaway tools and skills that one could use to build a fishing rod specific to your needs. This Mud Hole program provided us with both tools, materials and more hands experience to do just that - more than we anticipated.

Mud Hole’s success on this seminar is directly connected to the qualifications of the instructors. They are absolutely the best. Their knowledge far exceeds what they can teach in a few days and had made themselves available for future insights as needed for their graduate students. Experience in the classroom is obvious. There are plenty of Instructors leading the class so that at any time you needed help, it was right there!

Just because someone is a subject matter expert (like for guide spacing/direction, custom wrapping materials/techniques, tricks of the trade), etc. – does not mean they can teach. Not the case with each one of the instructors! Not only did our educators have vast knowledge, but they also understood how to communicate with each type of student and their skill levels.

The most important and memorable part of this seminar was purely how much fun it was! Primarily due to how the instructors worked with us students, by moderating how much can be done over tow days, but the delivery was so organized that it just made everything so much fun!

THANK YOU MUD HOLE crew for a truly memorable experience.

This class is definitely worth every penny. The instructors all knew so much and assisted me several times getting started. I can’t say enough good things about the instructors . The overall experience is addicting I am currently making my rods for nephews for Xmas presents.

This class was amazing and loved how all the instructors were there to help with any questions or issues we had as we were building i would definitely take the class again and bring my son to join as well
