Kabuto 7'6" 4wt Black Fiberglass Fly Rod / Stacked Flamed Bamboo Reel Seat
Kabuto 7'6" 4wt Black Fiberglass Fly Rod / Stacked Flamed Bamboo Reel Seat — Handcrafted in Japan
Sleek, bold, and built with the precision that only Japanese craftsmanship can deliver. The Kabuto 7'6" 4wt Black is a fiberglass fly rod that pairs a clean black blank with a richly flamed stacked bamboo reel seat — a striking contrast that makes this rod as much a piece of art as a fishing tool.
At 7'6" for a 4-weight, this rod is purpose-built for trout streams, spring creeks, and technical dry fly water. The fiberglass blank loads with a smooth, progressive action that protects fine tippets and rewards a patient casting stroke. The flamed stacked bamboo reel seat is the hallmark of Kabuto's craft — each one unique in grain and flame pattern, no two alike.
