Mike is a friend. I have cast several different models of his trout rods. His 8' for a #4 two-piece is sublime. Best casting rod of this length and line weight I have cast. THis is a progressive taper rod and is just so easy to cast.

When I ordered my Spittler almost 20 months ago I went with a 8' 3/2 6 wt. medium-fast action for New Zealand fishing which I try to do every winter but not this coming year.

When I was researching my Spittler order, I kept hearing over and over that his longer rods (8' and up) are his bread & butter. I like longer, lighter, crisp-actioned rods for dry-fly fishing and went with his 8' 2/2 4wt hollow-built quad of progressive taper.

Creaky,
I guess Uni was confused but he's not the only one since I've seen Mark Spittler in an old Codella and Corsetti catalogs.

A flamed 7' 9" staggered ferrule 4 wt for me.

I currently fish a 9' 5 wt and an 8-1/2' staggered ferrule 5-6 wt. Both are beautiful rods and great fishing tools. They are the only quads that I fish, and each takes a little getting used-to. My casting style is not exactly confined to one plane, and I find that these quads really require that I focus on keeping my casting stroke in line with the flats.

It only takes me a couple of hours, then I'm...

I am posting mainly to subscribe to this thread. I ordered an 8' 2/2 4 wt rod after speaking with Mr. Spittler and I am interested in hearing what others say. A search on this board shows that configuration to be well regarded.

I am interested in ordering a Spittler Quad. I've heard nothing but rave reviews of his rods. Before I contact Mr. Spittler to order a rod, I thought it might be wise to check with forum members to get their opinions on his best tapers.

I intend on getting a 7.5' to 8' rod for either a 4 wt or 5 wt line. I prefer medium to medium fast rod actions rods that roll cast well. My casting is normally in the 10'-45' range. I mostly fish medium/large creeks to medium...
