A collab between Tomo at Ijuin Rods and Nico at Yamame fly rods. This is a buttery smooth, progressive taper and a nice soft tip for soft presentations. Classy downlocking Snake Brand reel seat with a zebrano wood insert, Struble fire agate and a top flor mini snub-nose handle. The color combo is fire on this one and truly special, minimalist build! Thanks for looking!
This is a truly spectacular rod, built accordingly for a future flyfishergirl. Sakura flowers are in full bloom right now in Japan and the colors on this rod reflect just that. Pink-red wraps match the Struble reel seat/wood and the purple agate matches great with the handcrafted leather case. I'd call this a progressive-parabolic design from Tomo and it casts pretty great. One-of-its kind sweet little rod! Thanks for looking!
A new model by Kabuto rods in Japan in both in color and taper design. This slender, delicate 7'3' 2wt. is the ultimate "Japan special" rod. Very smooth, delicate casting rod I enjoyed building a lot. The owner is fishing some small water in California and Nevada and this rod is perfect for golden trout and brookies. Appointed in black hardware and light olive wraps tippet chestnut, classic japanese style handle with all cork reel seat and Nico's great hardware. With an outstanding handcrafted beige leather case, this "latte" painted rod is a truly special looking fishing instrument. Thanks for looking!
Here is a special Kabuto brown 703 finished a while ago. Appointed in honey-brown accents, bright hardware and a custom reel seat from Nico at Yamame fly rods with a gorgeous zebrano wood insert. Matching agate guide in honey brown and a gorgeous hand crafted leather case. I believe this model is discontinued now but there are some newer models available from Kabuto rods in Japan. I have another project in the new blonde color coming soon. Thanks for looking!
