I have order from these guys for about a year and a half and bough mix series rods and the components and the one 6'6 med light rod I built for flounder and all I was amazed with it and my two 6' trolling rods are awesome ive caught everything from striper to black tip shark at va beach and ill tell you they are better than penn rods that I used to use. The guys at mud hole do a grrat job with the videos they do i love the service so far I haven't had ant complaints about.
