Harada Rod 7'3 2/1 3wt Hollowbuilt

VFT6648


For sale here is a hollow-built bamboo rod handcrafted in Japan by Katsumi Harada - 7 feet 3 inches, two sections, one tip, for a 3 weight line. The rod is constructed from madake cane, creating a light and medium progressive action, aided by his use of a carbon and bamboo spigot ferrule system, allowing the rod taper to flex consistently through the ferrule sections. Harada-san points out that madake cane has very fine fibers, resulting in a slower action, yet not weak. The fine fibers also result in blanks with a very smooth and beautiful surface.Beautiful maple spacer. Translucent silk wraps are tipped gold. The rod weighs 2.55 oz. Three-up node pattern. The spar urethane varnish is very nicely done. The cigar grip is 5" long. Comes with custom rod bag and stunning wooden rod box.

Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
