MHX Bushido 3K 2-Piece Rod Blanks
Refined Performance. 

The MHX Bushido 3K 2-Piece Series brings elite rod performance to a travel-friendly platform, engineered for anglers who demand high-end sensitivity, strength, and responsiveness without sacrificing portability. Built from premium Japanese carbon fiber and layered using precision multi-pattern construction, these blanks deliver crisp actions with maximum energy return—ideal for covering water efficiently and landing more fish.

Designed for rod builders and anglers targeting both finesse and power applications, the 2-piece design ensures convenient transport without compromising feel or strength. Whether you’re chasing bass on the move, stalking redfish in backwaters, or flying with a compact rod build, the Bushido 3K is ready.

Key Features:

  • Premium Japanese carbon fiber blank with exceptional strength-to-weight ratio
  • Advanced resin systems and multi-pattern layup for responsive action and durability
  • 2-piece construction maintains elite performance while offering compact portability
  • Satin finish for a clean, stealthy custom look
  • Constructed with ultra resin-infused 45M modulus Toray graphite fiber
  • Fast action with a slightly softer tip for enhanced finesse performance
  • Excellent tip-to-butt power balance for sensitivity and control
  • Available in 3k Slate finish
  •   The Arete Series is designed to do the heavy lifting for you. By maximizing loading power on the backcast and minimizing blank recovery friction, Arete delivers maximum distance with minimal effort. It is cold, clinical, and surgically accurate. 
  • The SKOOKUM Series gets it's pedigree from the Pacific Northwest trade language, Skookum means something is so tough it is virtually indestructible. When you are throwing heavy plastic into the teeth of a gale, "good enough" won't cut it. The Skookum Series features a massive, unyielding backbone engineered to drive heavy hooks through bony jaws instantly and absorb the most violent strikes at the boat.

QUALITY CONTROL

 Under a 7 point inspection system, blanks are checked for straightness, butt and tip diameter, weight & length – and are deflected to confirm correct power and blank action. This industry-leading detailed inspection assures custom rod builders receive a blank that will exceed their expectations.

 Once they have passed the quality control stage, each MHX blank is assigned an individual serial number. This assures that every MHX rod you build, fish, buy or sell can be tracked throughout it’s life cycle from end to end with no concern about warranty issues.
