[www.mudhole.com] MHX GFC84MH
[www.mudhole.com] Seeker S865H [www.mudhole.com] Seeker S665 I have no idea what the difference is between the two seekers. Do you guys prefer one brand over the other and why? If I got the MHX, I'd probably trim 3" off. Intended use is with a baitrunner spinning reel, 30-40 lb line, free lining a live bait fish. Target species, yellowtail amberjack. Goes along with my previous post about guides. This is what I've narrowed the blanks to. Re: Seeker vs MHX

Oh and disclaimer, I did call mudhole so as to not bother you guys, but the dude straight up told me he didn't know anything about the Seekers. In his words, he would just be giving me the specks, which I can get from the site. Re: Seeker vs MHX

Hello Randy.
The S865H is bigger in diameter in the butt, but still weighs less. According to the details they are made of the same stuff so I suspect a thinner wall and a different taper, but I'm not sure I would have to have them in hand to be sure. Tight Wraps & Tighter Lines. Re: Seeker vs MHX

And you'd be right. Called Mudhole and talked to one of their saltwater guys who picked up the two blanks. He said the 665 was much faster, with a much softer tip. He said if ongoing strictly for live baiting yellowtail, it would be the better option. But I ended up going with the 865H because he said it would still be good for that, but will allow the rod to be used for a couple other types of fishing as well. Re: Seeker vs MHX

I think you will be pleased with the Seeker rod. You can call them and they are very helpful. I have 10 rods that I use for a variety of catfish applications built on Black Steel blanks and I really am impressed with the company. Re: Seeker vs MHX

Thanks Don, it's always nice to have that peace of mind. I'm pretty excited about this build. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
