They are pretty nice blanks... I believe they are mid-modulus, like IM7. Nice retail price. Some of the actions resemble Lamiglass, but others have suggested they could be made by American Tackle.

The white color is unique and sure to be popular. You could use some unique light color wrapping thread like whites and yellows that you normally can't get good results with on dark blanks.

I think Swampland also has some white blanks. And Batson has titanium colored blanks in their high modulus lineup.

Yeah - the TiCH is a very nice finish!

They are made by AmTack (MudHole and AmTack have same owners - the buildings in FL are on the same lot). If you order an AmTack Classic.. it comes with an MHX label anymore. So then again maybe they are made for MudHole and then sold over the the AmTack side. Still the same thing.

When they first introduced the MHXs, they claimed to be IMX equivalents. i think now they have strayed from that a little.

They are most likely a mulitmodulus design - as are most blanks anymore.

It appears that both American Tackle and Mudhole blanks are made by Lamiglas.

Well...a white paint job isn't really going to change the blank. These are already established blanks...just with a new finish.
