Hi there,

just finished that brand new Kabuto flyrod.
It is the yellow version of the 79345 blank and what should I say - absolutely beautiful to cast with a #4 line.
I really wanted to have one of Jory Ward’s skateboard reel seats for this rod and he was kind enough to build a bespoke one to match that yellow Japanese blank - Thanks a lot!
That rod is really a tiny devil that will be with me on every trip. The rod tube measures just 52 cm….
Here the facts:

Blank: Kabuto 7‘9“ #3/4 with 5-piece
Reel seat: custom skateboard
Hardware: Lembke
Grip: Top Flor cork with natural bark at the top side
Guides: perfect Agathe yellow / Snake Brand (9+1)
Wraps: pale yellow silk with orange silk trims

Hope you like it ;)

Very nice looking build! I've never seen that grip treatment with the bark on the cork... cool. I have a rod built on his 6623 blank. I'd love to try the 79345 next.

That reel seat is awesome and the whole build makes me envious. Good work!

I love it. That skateboard seat is something else, brings the whole thing to life.

Cheers
