Kabuto 7'6" 4wt Blonde Fiberglass Fly Rod / Stacked Flamed Bamboo Reel Seat
Kabuto 7'6" 4wt Blonde Fiberglass Fly Rod / Stacked Flamed Bamboo Reel Seat — Handcrafted in Japan
Light, warm, and beautifully balanced. The Kabuto 7'6" 4wt Blonde is a Japanese-handcrafted fiberglass fly rod finished with a natural blonde blank and a richly flamed stacked bamboo reel seat — honey tones on honey tones, a combination that feels as natural on the water as the streams it was built to fish.
At 7'6" for a 4-weight, this rod is at home on 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 red agate stripping guide adds a touch of classic elegance while ensuring smooth, friction-free line flow.
