Another Kabuto Build

To quote The Fiberglass Manifesto, "Glass is not Dead".
There has been a resurrection of fiberglass fly rods over the last few years and I was glad to be able to build on a Kabuto glass blank. These blanks are true pieces of art and add class to the fiberglass market.
I built this rod on a Kabuto 765-3  five weight blank which is 7'6" in length and consists of three sections.


Using a custom carbon fiber wrapped grip which was paired with a carbon fiber insert in the reel seat for a little more modern touch. I used black pearl Recoil stripping guide and snake guides to round it off. It was wrapped in burgundy thread with black accent wraps and finished with a light coat of finish.
