"Lil' Will", a Gorgeous Amber Kabuto 8'0" 5wt built for Bill in Texas.
This is a truly beautiful and very practical rod that we built for Bill in Texas. The rod is based on Kabuto's amazing 8053 blank in the limited production amber colour and features some very special touches. The reel seat for the rod was made with some olivewood that I had imported from Bethlehem and is finished with Lemke hardware. The rod also has a banded agate stripping guide to match the golden brown thread wraps.

In addition there are marks on the rod at 18" and 24" for sizing the catch, certainly this beautiful slow action rod will be a lot of fun with a 24" t
