Has anyone ever cast a quad boo? I have not. But looking at a square or rectangular cross section from a mathematical point of view, it would tend to have a lower section modulus in a plane normal to the flat surface than diagonally across the corners. It would seem, then, to have a pronounced directional "spine." If that were true, then by alligning the rod seat and guides in the direction of this pronounced spine, the rod would have a definite self alligning effect - sort of like caster in automobile wheel allignment. I was wondering if any of you experts had experienced this and if, in fact, it were even noticable?

If that observation were true, or if true was even desirable, could a graphite rod be made in a similar fashon? Using a squared off mandrel and wrapping a uniform wall it might look like this.



No, I am not smoking anything strange, I just have a weird curiosity. Anybody else want to bite?

Godspeed,
