Gambler1 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Im getting ready to order a rod kit from mud hole and wanted to put the aluminum winding checks and reel seat insert on it, its one of the MAG BASS MHX kits but it dosent say anywhere what size the reel seat is. 16-17, anybody done one of these? The same for the aluminum winding checks it dosent say what size I need for that blank. As you can tell this is my first rod build, I already make all my own plastics and im going to spend close to a grand in a wrapper and start up supplies I just want to make sure I get the right parts. Any help would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I don't order checks until I have the blank. I would guess they'll be sending you the right sized seat if this is a kit. But exposed blank seats are something I don't order until I have the blank either. I suppose its possible they may measure for you if you ask and get the right checks for you. Also...to even have half of chance of anyone answering here what size you should get, you'd have to mention what model blank. They all have different dimensions and an MB842 will have very different dimensions than an MB844. Personally...I want the blank in my hands so that I can make the measurements where I want them to be made and order the right materials myself.

Jwags Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Mudhole has a file on their website that gives you the exact dimensions of MHX blanks at several places along the length of the blanks. It makes ordering winding checks a piece of cake! jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
