Kabuto 8'0" 5wt Pearl White Fiberglass Fly Rod / Stacked Flamed Bamboo Reel Seat
Kabuto 8'0" 5wt Pearl White Fiberglass Fly Rod / Stacked Flamed Bamboo Reel Seat — Handcrafted in Japan
Clean, luminous, and unmistakably Kabuto. The 8'0" 5wt Pearl White is a Japanese-handcrafted fiberglass fly rod finished with an unpainted pearl white blank and a richly flamed stacked bamboo reel seat — a striking combination that performs as beautifully as it looks.
At 8 feet for a 5-weight, this rod is a versatile all-around trout rod — at home on larger rivers, tailwaters, and anywhere you need a little extra reach without sacrificing the forgiving, tactile feel that makes fiberglass so addictive. The flamed stacked bamboo reel seat is the centerpiece, with deep amber and caramel tones that contrast brilliantly against the pearl white blank.
