Yes, lots of people are using them, myself included. What is it you want to know, or was that it?

I had never heard of them until I saw Honey Hole today. I need to get out of the mayonnaise jar more often!

How do the Hendrix rods compare to the St. Croix Legend Tournament Bass rods?

Hendrix are some of the most sensitive rods you will ever handle. I have seven or eight on the boat. Go by Fun & Sun in Hurst and handle some.

How do the Hendrix rods compare to the St. Croix Legend Tournament Bass rods? I can't answer that one but I've had Mike build me 2 flipping rods that are incredibly light and powerful. My partners are impressed with how light they are. I also have a 70ML crankbait rod cut down to 6'8" that rivals my Loomis crankbait rod in sensitivity, weight, castability and power. Seriously, go by F-N-S in Hurst and see Mike - take your favorite rod with you to compare against.

I love the rods and want to convert almost all my rods over. they are custom rods so he can make it any way you want, any color of wrap, stly of handle/cork, etc. they are all hand built by a great guy. he is honest and will work with you. he has a liftime warranty on the rods. just order one you wont be disappointed!!

The best I have ever handled. Light, sensitive and strong. The warranty is phenomenal. Great Guy with a great product.

He built me a dropshot rod, and it is great. Balanced w/ the reel you will be using and very sensitive. I'll echo the great guy also  .I don't think you can go wrong with Hendrix.

I have three and wish I could afford a bunch more. I will slowly but surely replace all my rods with Hendrix. And Mike is a top notch guy

I recently was given 14 LTX Carrot Stix rods that still have the tags.
Should I return them and use the money to get several Hendrix rods?
Which Hendrix rods should I get?

Which Hendrix rods should I get? Go visit Mike and discuss your fishing techniques with him and he'll work with you to get you what you need. He won't sell you a rod that doesn't do what you want it to. Case in point - he let me use a spinning rod to try out - I came back and described what I liked and didn't like - from there we decided on a different blank that will be better suited for my tastes. At the very least, I'd get a flipping stick, a 70ML for medium cranks/topwaters, and a shaky head rod

I have looked at them but they are a little out of my price range.
