Ice rod Blank Comp - MHX vs DH Al Dente

[A.W.Wolfram]

Here is a static blank test of the two blanks. The MHX is the Black and Flo Green blank. The DH Al Dente is the Camo hydrographic blank.

Start No WT

1/4 oz

1/2 oz

You can see that the DH is faster. A noodle blank to me is extra fast and the Al Dente fits the bill. I would consider the MHX mod to mod fast at best.

Thanks for this info. Clearly shows that they "tried" to copy the noodle design but it looks like a fail in my mind.

I think the MHX would be better without the painted green tip. Seems to stiffen the tip up too much.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for taking the time to show the comparison between the two rod blanks.

Isnt the MHX noodle modeled more after the Thorne Bros noodle?

No, they just took the name, because it has a fast tip

If the mudhole rod you ordered is the UL32 then that is a great walleye blank. I just built on that blank and took it to red this weekend and loved it. I made a 28" rod with recoils out of it and an building more.

Nope .. I ordered a power noodle blank

OK, I had to look again on there site. I used the Quiverstick blank it comes 32" I cut it down to 28" and made a realy nice walleye rod.
