Jillian’s Harry Potter Fishing Rod⚡️ We met 11 year old custom fishing rod builder Jillian Mann this weekend at the International Custom Rod Builders Expo (ICRBE). Jillian’s mom took a Mud Hole Rod Building Class with us in New Jersey a few years ago. Today, the whole family are rod builders! They recently participated in a kids rod building weekend at Mary Christy’s shop @The Decorative Studio a few months ago and hung out with Mary in her ICRBE booth all weekend. The future of rod building looks bright thanks to people like Mary opening her doors to the next generation. The easiest, most affordable, way to get your kid into rod building is with the All-In-One Rod Building Kits from Mud Hole and the Rod Building 101 YouTube Series. These include all supplies and tools to build rods and the parts to build the first rod! The most popular is the 6’6” Medium Spinning Kit (SKU# AIO-IS661M-S). If you learn better in person, we teach Rod Building Classes around the country (must be at least 16 years old)!

The craziest custom fishing rod I’ve ever seen! Terry from Fishing Tackle Unlimited shaped, painted and epoxied the handle over and behind a shrimp weaved in with thread. The level of craftsmanship involved in this build is unreal. A very unconventional and creative handle design, fitting the shaped fish over the blank, even implementing a “trigger” for a casting reel. Visit the Fishing Tackle Unlimited booth to see this and more custom rods and Mud Hole at Booth 609 to learn about building your own fishing rods and scaling your business at the Houston Fishing Show! #mudholetackle #customrods #ftu #fishingtackleunlimited #houston #houstonfishingshow #fishing #fishingrods
More Than a Fishing Rod: Pops’ Rod Gary “Pops” Rudolph built this rod for himself, after his son Jessey gave him a hard time for fishing store bought rods. Every time Gary would build himself a rod, someone would offer to buy it or he’d give it away! The rods we’ve seen from Gary have all incorporated the outdoors. If its not rattlesnake skin its a turkey feather or a piece of a deer antler. Here’s how he built this one: Rod Blank: 7’3” Medium Heavy MHX MB873 Grips: Brown Grain 18” EVA CM18 cut & sanded down (discontinued color) Reel Seat: Fuji ACSM Guides: American Tackle Ringlock Gold NanoPlasma Decorative: ProWrap ColorFast & Metallic threads with Ratttesnake skin Learn to build your own custom fishing rods with Mud Hole!
