Description
Now available for sale is a hollow built 7'6" 4wt 2 piece rod based off of my medium-fast progressive LL taper.  A very light in hand rod with a smooth progressive feel overall with some slight lightening in the tip for quicker line turnover and vibration dampening. 

This rod would normally sell for $1700 but I have it listed at $500 off due to there being some cosmetic blemishes on one strip of the butt section and a couple very light blems on one tip (all of the blems on the rod can be seen in the lowermost high-res photo below).  The story is:  I was making another rod from a culm that was probably one of the best I'd ever seen for a quad.  It was dense, straight, had even, flat nodes with great spacing and a lovely metallic timbre.  After making one rod from the culm for a preorder customer I had just enough strips left to make a second but a few of the strips had the above mentioned blemishes.  As there wasn't enough cane left to pick and choose, and I didn't want to mix strips from another culm, I decided to make the rod with the blems.  So, if you are like me and don't mind a few cosmetic dark spots on your rod, and want a great deal on a top of the line hollow quad, snap this rod up!
