Yesterday I received an email from Yasuyuki Kabuto with a few photographs of the Kabuto Rods 7033 that he is working on for me.
This build is being done on the somewhat rare dark brown painted blank which has a richness to it that sets it apart from the white or yellow blanks that Yasuyuki Kabuto has offered in his glass line up.
In my mind Yasuyuki Kabuto is one of the most talented fly rod builders on the scene and the tapers for the blanks that he's having made are unbelievably good and quickly dispel the idea that Japanese glass is weepy and slow. The Kabuto Rods offerings are progressive and have power.
Almost two years ago Yasuyuki Kabuto sent me both the 7033 and 8053 as long term demos. Those two fly rods have been around the states several times now which has given many a chance of trying a Kabuto Rods fly rod before committing to purchase one.
All that said, if you are seriously considering purchasing a fly rod from Kabuto Rods, but want to flex one first, please feel free to email me to get on the demo list or to have your questions answered as best I can.
