Wrapped a number of hex rods now I'm looking to try my first quad. Any suggestions on makers selling quad blanks?

I know Kusse will sell a quad blank and I also see Zietak sells quad blanks. I'm sure there are many, many more.
The man who coined the phrase "Money can't buy happiness", never bought himself a Bamboo fly rod!

See if Chris Carlin will sell you one.

Actually I have a hollowbuilt hex blank coming from Chris later this spring. I know he didn't offer quad blanks last year when I ordered my hex. Maybe
he's changed his policy on the matter.
Anyone here has a Carlin quad - can you offer comments on action etc? |

I have two of his quads. They are great rods! I wanted them faster than a normal bamboo rod and that's exactly what I got. I have a 7' 6" 3wt quad
that is excellent. No one else offered this configuration. I just sold a 5 wt quad of his to "Fishaboo" here on the forum. It would have been great
on bigger waters. He can do many different tapers and lengths.
