How does one know what kind of action they like on rod? I just use a generic 9ft, 5wt and I catch a good amount of fish on it, but I have no idea what the "action" is on it nor how that is measured.
Thanks for the video! I'm really looking forward to getting into fly fishing and possibly traveling around the US but I was concerned about the price of gear. Seeing that I can make my own rod for cheaper then buying it really makes me glad I came upon this video. Can't wait to see more of your videos! Subscribed!
Nice looking rod. I’ve always thought about making my own. Just started fly fishing last year. And I also learned to tie flies. It’s so much fun and challenging.
Thats ws a great video on rod building. I think I will invest into the near future to build my own rod. Thanks for the help on the rod building. Be huge. Keep the videos coming. Thank you again for all the great videos you have made.
This is for my 12 and 10 year old sons. They are huge fans and love to fly fish. It is for a salt water trip in Costa Rica. P.S. the only reason I know about this is because they watch you constantly and it's all I hear about.
Just got all the building supplies from Mud Hole to build a fly rod! Fly fishing through Idaho soon and it would be awesome to fish with a rod already loaded with mojo! Stay Huge!!
I listened to your "Beyond the bobber" podcast with Tom Rosenbauer on my way to the river this weekend and your tips helped me land a couple of browns. Thanks man!
I’m in! Appreciate the video gents. I’ve not given much thought to building my own fly rod, but if it’s that easy then I might just have to pull the trigger.
I can't think of a better reason to make a first comment on a youtube video. Ben, I love the stuff you're doing on your channel. I've seen all you vids and even signed up for an instagram account to follow your stuff. I know- total fanboy. I got my brother a Huge Fly Fishing shirt for Christmas. I've even purchased stuff from Mud Hole in the past. Oooooooh I hope the random comment generator picks me.
I’m going to randomly comment....My 6’6 husband wants a 8 weight rod and I’m thinking a kit would be a awesome Father’s Day gift! Thanks for the great video. Oh, and he likes beer with everything too! 😉
I've been tossing around the idea of getting started building my own rods, thanks for the video. I'll check out Mud Hole's site! It sure would be nice to have this "fish pole" in the meantime, though lol! Thanks Huge and Mud Hole!
I want to build one that was really cool.
You're the winner, Dewayne. You have 24 hrs to email me. info@hugeflyfisherman dot com
Nooooooo I thought I would win
Congrats on the Win!
He wants to build one, don't take that away from him! Congrats dude!
Congrats!
Yes, I will ship international.
that's lit
That was fun and funny. Cheers.
That’s cool
A pre-mojoed Huge pole... that’s better than free beer.
Nice!
Don't drink beer but...this is my favorite 420 channel for the morning fish meditation. Lol
I have a rod that is missing the upper section is it possible to only buy a single blank?
His name was Huge! And he made the fastest Fish Pole in the West.
From Sam my 5yo “They are joking, I know there going to keep that pole”. Your move Ben.
I hope Sam wins the pole and uses it with an indicator over a night crawler!
What exactly does the rod dryer do and is it a necessary step?
In the interest of convincing my wife that this is something we need - the pole dryer looks like it would double up as a chicken rotisserie.
“Oh, it’s that knuckle head,” said my wife. 🤣
would love to get into rid building! wonder if they got blank sections for repairing rods?
"If youre gonna catch a fish on a fly you tied, you might as well catch one on a rod you built" 💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏

Mud Hole has quality supplies. Huge needs to up his taste in beer.
Constantly amazes me how shit USA beer is; as an Aussie played minors and could drink everyone under the table
Seeing you without polarized glasses and learning you actually have eyes is freaking me out
Do they have stuff to make cane poles?
"I like beer" by Tom T. Hall
I wish I could win this, Would be the first time in my life where I could say " I have a HUGE pole"
Do they have Spey rod blanks?
"I'm a miller lite guy. Have been since I was 12"- John Daly
I just built my first “fly pole” and it is an amazing feeling catching a fish on it. Just like a fly you’ve tied yourself.
You mean a tie you’ve flied?
Does this giveaway come with an option for cane pole?? 🤔
Sweet build! Clean and simple, I built my first one a couple of years ago!
Does the pole come with some kind of coupon for minners or worms? Fingers crossed...
What blank was that built with?
What brand blank is used in your rod?
It would be awesome to aquire this elegant fish pole😉😉😉
This is awesome Ben, sweet collaboration glad to see you got some warm fishing in.
Nice video. Do the cork handles come drilled?
Thanks to Mud Hole for supporting! I'll have to check them out.
Great episode. I have a custom Fish Pole but did not know how it was built. Thanks!
Sweet info! Thanks guys!
Awesome show, thanks for all the info, keep up the good work!
Super informative, wonder if the process is different with bamboo blanks, etc.
That gray color with the blue hints in the wraps looks sharp! Awesome looking fly rod!
Love your enthusiasm and no frills BS.
Pretty awesome. Keep it up! Thanks again for the videos!
Definitively one of the most enjoyable 10 minute commercials I've watched. Thanks, Ben and Chris.
Always fun and informative stuff! Thanks!!
I’ve actually always been curious about this. Thanks
Stoked on the video man! Keep up the good work, and keeping lite!
Another great video. Love your channel
I can’t find the tenkara section at Mud Hole.
You beat me to it.
Was not aware of DIY fly rod kits, very cool.
I'm just gonna come right out & say it...small stream fishing is the best! Especially when they hold plenty of 15-20 inchers
Thanks for the video!
I'm really looking forward to getting into fly fishing and possibly traveling around the US but I was concerned about the price of gear. Seeing that I can make my own rod for cheaper then buying it really makes me glad I came upon this video.

Yeah the weather, in some areas, is nuts this year. Great idea for a giveaway.
Nice looking rod. I’ve always thought about making my own. Just started fly fishing last year. And I also learned to tie flies. It’s so much fun and challenging.
Can I use this as a Spey rod for bigger fish?
Been looking at Mud Hole’s kit to start building my own rods for my clients to use. Thanks for sharing! Succinct, and helpful. 🤘
How do I make a larger grip for my fish pole? I have big hands. Thanks.
That’s awesome ! Always wanted to make my own fly rod, but never got around to it
Dang! Looks great can’t wait to see how it handles
Eager for may 15!! Can not wait, I’ve got to sit down to the vice again now and tie some nice flies to decorate the trees with
Thanks Ben for the informative and fun videos. I look forward to Mondays because of your videos.
Thanks for putting out the videos every week. Little bit of comedy and some great tips of the trade. Keep it up and stay HUGE!!!
Really enjoyed this video and I’m looking forward to future vids on rod building.
Great timing, just ordered the stuff for my first fish pole build!

Will you ship domestically too?
That rod looks great , love what ya do on TH-cam and Instagram for fly fishing learn something every episode!
wow! that’s a cool video. makes rod building appear much easier than I suspected.
That’s a beautiful looking rod. I’ve never built a rod before, You guys make it seem so easy. Might have to start by looking for a blank.
Thanks for the videos! Stay huge!
Looks easier than I figured it would be!
Thankful for some snow, hopefully we will have some water in the river's come spring!
Never thought of building my own fly rod. Looks fun and great video!
Rad video! Had not considered building my own rod till now.
Does it come with a can of beer as well?
This is for my 12 and 10 year old sons. They are huge fans and love to fly fish. It is for a salt water trip in Costa Rica. P.S. the only reason I know about this is because they watch you constantly and it's all I hear about.

Only ever built one fly rod, almost 20 years ago. Thanks for the video. Motivating me to build one with my 8 year old son who is a HUGE fly fisherman.
Learned how to fly fish last summer..would love to catch a trout on this pole out here in Oregon! Thanks for the great content Ben!
Awesome videos! Thanks for making them.
Great job. Have made a few rods back in the day. Always fun to catch fish on a fly and rod I built.

New to fly fishing, your videos have really helped me learn.
How do you put comments on here??
Thanks for the video guys!
Yep, I could use a HUGE 8wt for the collection.
Great video thanks for the instruction. Nice rod!
I’m going to randomly comment....My 6’6 husband wants a 8 weight rod and I’m thinking a kit would be a awesome Father’s Day gift! Thanks for the great video. Oh, and he likes beer with everything too! 😉
Wow! That rod is HUGE!!!
love the video... was wondering..have heard about a "spine" of a fly rod....can you explain? southern Oregon..surprisingly warm...love the videos.
Great channel! Thanks for being HUGE!!
Just started my first rod build, we'll see how it turns out. Always enjoy the videos.
Such a nice color on that rod. Thanks for the videos
Great now I have a deeper hole to dive down in fly fishing!
Awesome video. Just getting into fly fishing. Love the fishing community
Thanks for the video, stay huge! Would love to own this rod!!
I've been tossing around the idea of getting started building my own rods, thanks for the video. I'll check out Mud Hole's site! It sure would be nice to have this "fish pole" in the meantime, though lol! Thanks Huge and Mud Hole!
Love full Wells grips for some reason. Don't have big hands either.
Great basic video. I've built a few and really enjoy it.
Something that I thought would be complicated, and you guys show how simple it really is. Definitely something I want to try someday.
You guys make the rod building look easy. I suspect mine wouldn’t look quite as good.
Built one before and glued cork segments together and then shaped the handle. Blisters! This looks much better!
I'm In! Can't wait to see the new raft!!
Look like a nice rod to try out in the bass pond!
