Seattle,
The Firehole has been fishing great I hope to hit it today. The cool weather and showers for the last three weeks have made for great hatches of PMD's and BWO's plus caddis are starting to show but the caddis will really get going once it warms a little more.

Chris Carlin has been building with scalloped hollowing for awhile now. I have...

Erik only recently starting offering quads. Here's a picture of the butt section of my 7'10" 3/2 3wt before the wraps were varnished.

Erik Peterson of Linnéa Rods makes hollow-built quads. They are radically hollow-built all the way through the tip.

Pretty sure the Harms rods are all hollow fluted, rather than scalloped. However, I also hear they are phenomenal, I haven't had a chance to cast one.

I was just casting one the other day. Also, I'm sure Zimny and Wagner could if they don't already.

I think Bill Taylor makes HB Quads. I've never cast them but hear good things.

Has this method been part of your consideration?

Chris Carlin builds quads, and he uses scalloped hollowing, so I'm assuming he could/would build one.

Marty Karstetter doesn't make quads. Mike Spittler makes hollow quads, but I'm not sure what method he uses. Also, his 2-piece rods are hollow in the butt only. I think the 3-piece models are hollow into the mid section.

Who make quadrate hollowbuilt using Powell method, scalloped, not fluted like Winston? I know Brandin and Raine, but there are other? Maybe Karstetter? Thanks, Sergio
