KAKUHIRO ROD K79 7'9" #4/5 5PC 2Tip

Serial No. 2304

KAKUHIRO ROD is a Japanese bamboo fly rod maker dedicated to crafting each rod individually using carefully selected Japanese bamboo.

The K79 features a full-hollow construction, with every section hollow-built to reduce unnecessary weight throughout the rod.

This design gives the rod a lighter, sharper feel than a conventional solid-built bamboo rod, while also improving recovery speed and responsiveness.

The action is fast.

While retaining the natural resilience and smooth flex associated with bamboo, the K79 has a quick tip recovery that makes it easier to generate line speed and maintain a crisp casting rhythm.

Designed for #4 to #5 lines, the rod is well suited to a wide range of trout fishing situations, from dry-fly fishing on smaller streams to situations requiring slightly greater distance, more line speed, or better control in windy conditions.

Its 7'9" length offers an excellent balance between line control and maneuverability.

The rod performs well for accurate presentations at close range while also providing enough length and stability for smooth, efficient medium-distance casting.

With its 5-piece construction and 2-tip configuration, the K79 offers excellent portability and long-term practicality.

With a closed length of approximately 51 cm, it is especially convenient for travel and transport while retaining the performance and feel expected from a full-length bamboo fly rod.

It combines the character and craftsmanship of a traditional handmade bamboo rod with a faster, more modern response.
