Go BUCKEYES! Had this 7'6" Kabuto blank for a number of years. Finally had a friend finish it for me as I knew I was not going to get it. Gray, black wraps, scarlet tipping. Floating black guides and reel seat hardware. It casts even better than it looks. Spring football game and brookie chasing.

Nice! Great looking reel seat.

Great rod.

And similar to Driftless......PSU here. It took me a long time to learn to 'forgive' Buckeye's for their predilections;-). I jest but to that end...one day, as another red shirt held the door open for my family and i...I realized that these Ohio State peeps are pretty darned friendly, courteous and in general....I like them better than the PSU alumni I experience at the Blue/White game every April. At this point the saving grace for PSU is that it has Spring Creek nearby and there is usually a tan caddis and some bwo hatching around game time......

And now back to our regularly scheduled program. Really nice looking rod....
