Great rod blank, fill every thing
I have two of these blanks. There main use is for Jerbaiting, they do make great top water rods also. Strongly recommend this blank. Install Winn grips makes it even better!!
I ordered one of these in 2022 and built it, it quickly became my go to mid finesse rod. Throwing tubes and neds on it. Unfortunately I lost that one midway through the season in 23. So I just ordered it again and am stoked to get it built and get back to using my favorite rod again.
This rod is not what the description states, the rod I received is a slow tip and had the tip size is 3 not 5. In the pic I provided you can see a considerable difference in tip size between the 3 & 5. This rod should be a blank for pan fishing not a pig n jig or spinner bait. I was substituting this for a 7ft medium mag taper, due to the availability. I am really disappointed with this blank and the description. I wouldn’t have purchased knowing this. I live in Texas and shipping back Florida would cost me even more. Hope the description get changed. This is the first time I have been disappointed with MH blanks.
Absolutely awesome action rod very parabolic bend for a extra fast action .Tons of back bone with tip cable of throwing a 3/16 jighead for sea trout of 1 1/2 jigs for stripers .Great do all rod and have caught stripers up to 47 inches on it so far.
I made my Jerkbait rod from this blank with MHX grips on it and it’s the best Jerkbait rod I’ve ever fished. I am making another for a friend currently …… Highly recommend
Unfortunately I have had a bad experience with the MHX x fast blank. The first one I built broke for no apparent reason on a cast. The very first day it was used. I have Sent the warranty claim back but I have not heard anything and it has been 2 weeks since I mailed it to mudhole. I have had good luck with other MHX blanks.
Great blank
Been fishing a few times with this blank/build. I really enjoy it. Very nice sensitivity for light walleye bites.
Great rod blank and shipping to me was great. After wrapping, the decals of the rod action etc. accepted the rod finish, the precious serial number sticker curled up on both long sides and ruined the finish. And yes, I used Mud Hole's rod finish. Here's a clue, waterslide decals don't do this. It ruined a good build and is causing alot of work to try to fix.
Been using Mod Hole for years great service and products
I like the color selection, I did 5 med hvy in metallic lime green, 2 top water in white, 2- heavy in dark blue metallic , 1 heavy in lime green metallic
Bought them all memorial weekend sale save 25 percent
Will post later when all builds are done 5 more to go
I love the extra fast tip for finesse fishing plastics. Enough backbone to handle big bass and walleye. I can feel the slightest tug or bump while fishing slow.
I broke one of my favorite rods. Mud Hole warranty was great and replaced the bank quickly. Be sure to register your bank and record the serial number.
very light and flexible with a good backbone to help with big fish
This thing is a sheepshead slayer, enough backbone to pull up the lock ness monster with a tip soft enough to feel a gnat **** on it.
Very happy with these, not the lightest, not the fastest, but the best I have found in this price range. Great for a budget build for the customer that wants cheap.
honestly love every mhx blank I've ever used. weight, performance, and cost all taken into account they are the best bang for your buck. BUT WHY DID YOU DO AWAY WITH ALL WHITE DECALS! the decals used to be all white with the serial number, logo, blank number, line weight, lure weight, and maybe even power and action all in one leaving you room for your custom decal on top. now they use 2 different decals so if you want all the info you don't have room for a custom decal, plus they have metallic green in it. I get it those are their colors but they don't match most rod builds. I know I could give 5 stars still but I'd like to see them take customer thoughts into consideration. also the customer service is top notch.
Great service and quality product and excellent customer service
Very lightweight blank but has great action.
Love it got great action to the tip and a strong back bone..
This blank works great for spinnerbaits, has a good feel and power.
After my earlier review a customer service rep reached out to me. I was extremely surprised as I thought most of the replies on these reviews are BS. It was a great experience and wanted to let people know they really do care. Thank You Mud Hole!
This rod feels great and is super light. However, I don’t think it’s very durable. Top section broke off while setting the hook. I messaged customer service once or twice when it happened, no reply. Get the mag taper instead.
Hey Norman, we are sorry to hear about your experiance. Someone from our customer service team will be reaching out to you shortly. - Mud Hole
Great live bait and jigging blank for walleye. Extremely sensitive tip and it has great hook setting authority, but as with most extra fast blanks you'll lose more fish using a blank like this. Nonetheless, it's a great rod for jerk baits such as megabass 110's and 110+1's, single hook swim baits such as a keitech 3.3 or 3.8 on a 1/4 oz-1/2 oz jig head, jigging raps, blade baits, top water, spinner baits, and tipping 3/16 oz - 3/8 oz jig heads with live bait. Be mindful of what weight you use with this rod, although it states it can go up to 11/16 oz, for me it feels like you don't really wanna go above 1/2 oz as it overpowers the rod a little bit.
Thanks for the feedback Kyler. Glad you love your MHX blank.
