There is no script on the butt to suggest it's hollow built (which some Aspindale rods have). The butt and middle sections are both whole cane and interestingly, the female ferrule on the butt section has a hole (about 4mm) drilled through the internal node/plug at the bottom of the ferrule. It's the same with the male ferrule on the middle section. I'm wondering if this is to allow water vapour to escape?

I've had a look at an Aspindale's Avon and there are no holes on that, the plugs are solid.
