Re Quad 8wt+rod - Bob Maulucci

Start with about an .080 or .090 tip and make a straight taper
increasing about .009 or .010 every 6". Should be fast and able to pick
up a sink tip or throw a long line.

All--

I have a Florida vacation to the Gulf coast coming up in a few weeks 
and was thinking of tossing together a meat-stick PMQ to catch 
some redfish with.

can anybody reccommed a powerful 8wt or greater quad taper that I 
can PMQ?  Or should I just take a Nunley bonefish and Quad-ify it 
in Hexrod?

I'll virtually buy you all lunch.  No, really, have an appetizer, have 
two...I'm virtually buying.  Surf and Turf...heck, order two.  Laphroiag

50 year...we'll have two bottles for the table.  Enjoy your virtual 
lunch, rodmakers.  I virtually enjoy buying it.

Wavering between self immolation and self aggrandizement and not 
quite being able to define either,
