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
