yep they are fly rods. they are the MHX 4 piece rods 5 weight 8.6 feet. very nice rods, they are only sold as blanks from Mud Hole rod builders. here's a few more pics of a few I made last year for some friends.
the coating doesn't seem to affect the action at all, it might add a little weight but not much. just makes them pretty looking.
