Kabuto 7'6" 4wt Brown Fiberglass Fly Rod / Stacked Natural Bamboo Reel Seat
Kabuto 7'6" 4wt Brown / Natural Bamboo — Handcrafted in Japan
Classic in every sense. The Kabuto 7'6" 4wt Brown / Natural Bamboo is a Japanese-handcrafted fiberglass fly rod built around a brown blank and finished with a natural (unflamed) stacked bamboo reel seat — warm, honest materials that age beautifully and fish even better.
At 7'6" for a 4-weight, this rod is at home on medium-sized trout streams, spring creeks, and anywhere a smooth, forgiving action is an asset. The fiberglass blank loads progressively from tip to butt, protecting fine tippets and rewarding a patient casting stroke. The natural stacked bamboo reel seat is the hallmark of Kabuto's craft — each one unique in grain and tone, no two alike.

Why Kabuto?
Kabuto fly rods are handcrafted in Japan by artisans whose level of fit, finish, and attention to detail is simply without peer.
