Kabuto 7'6" 4wt Dark Brown Fiberglass Fly Rod / Stacked Flamed Bamboo Reel Seat
Kabuto 7'6" 4wt Dark Brown Fiberglass Fly Rod / Stacked Flamed Bamboo Reel Seat — Handcrafted in Japan
Rich, dark, and deeply satisfying to cast. The Kabuto 7'6" 4wt Dark Brown is a Japanese-handcrafted fiberglass fly rod that pairs a deep brown blank with a richly flamed stacked bamboo reel seat — warm amber tones against dark chocolate, a combination that looks as good on the water as it feels in the hand.
At 7'6" for a 4-weight, this rod is a natural fit for medium-sized 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 unique to each rod — no two seats are identical in grain or flame pattern.

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