Has anyone ever build a rod where the line is inside the blank? Example: Thinking I want to try to build one and looking for advise.

Hard to tell using on-line pictures but it looks like a Blue/Grey without color preserver. I replace guides on 10 to 20 rods a week and find most manufactures don't use color preserver so you have to look at colors differently. I do a test wrap then darken with water to see the match.

Thanks Everyone!! I called Mud Hole one last time before I pulled the trigger with Schneiders Rod Shop and they searched the warehouse and the retail shop. They found a kit for me and it is on the way. Just wanted to give Mud Hole credit for going above and beyond. I have always got great customer service from them. Lewis, I think I will checkout the pistol grip you recommended. Wond

Not up to trying to make one from scratch. I also do rod and reel repairs and being a one man shop can't invest the time this time of the year. Might be something I will try in the winter months.

Looking for help finding a cork pistol grip. I have a HKC-1 on order from MudHole but it is back ordered until July. I have a rod due first part of July using a pistol grip. Trying to fill the gap in time. Any input would be appreciated.

Looking for someone who carries 2 foot micro guides in sizes 5.5, 5, 4.5 and 4. The Style is like American Tackle HLCC or Pac Bay Model T. I have been getting Garcia rods that need guide replacement. American Tackle does carry a fly rod guide in a 5 but Mud Hole does not carry it. I would like to find all sizes someplace. Does anyone have experience finding these?
