Thanks for the comments! The beauty (or some would say heresy) of a 2 strip quad is that no planing forms are needed just a hand plane (even cheap ones) and some calipers. My rod is made on sort of a linear taper based every 12"s instead of 5". Since this was an economy rod I just used some small strips of masking tape to make bushings for the ferrules and used Elmers Ultimate glue for both the rod blank and the ferrules. Like I said it's a 7' 4wt but I managed a 57' cast. All the info I got for making PMQs I got from this site: [url=http://www.bamboorodmaking.com/html/pmq.html:7069c]http://www.bamboorodmaking.com/html/pmq.html[/url:7069c]

Thanks again!
