MHX 9' 12Wt

This is my first reel build on an MHX.
There is a lot of hype around these blanks in the States.
A lot of builders swear by them. So I gave it a shot on this build as a backup rod.

MHX 9' 12wt Blank
Alps Triangular Seat in Black
American Tackle NBRLS Typhoon Spin/ Cast Guides as Stripping Guides in Black
Black Snake Guides
Black Hook Keeper
Black Thread Wraps with Some Lime Green Metallic Trims

And then last but not least just two random snaps of the two rods with reels on them.





Thanks for looking. Sorry for the dust on the rods. I wiped them clean, but they are static like crazy this morning.

Pieta jy kan lokaal kry maar dis ook maar duur jong. Jy gaan kyk na R10-R15 per ring en dan is die gehalte ook maar nie altyd goed nie. R20-R30 per ring dan begin jy kyk na top gehalte. Die cheap goed is maar swak kurk.

Hoeveel ringe soek jy? Stuur my 'n email dan sit ek jou op die regte mense of as jy wil saam met my bulk order deel van Portugal af kan ons gesels.

Ek het dit vir die dunner blankies gesoek soos die bass stokkies en ander ses foet stokkies. Ek het op die oomblik net vier stokkies om te bou. Ek hou maar by die goedkooper kurk op die surf stokke. Dankie vir die mooi gebaar om jou hulp aan te bied.
