For sale here is a semi hollow-built bamboo rod handcrafted in Japan by Katsumi Harada - 7 feet 6 inches, three sections with a single tip section for a 5 weight line. Mint condition. The rod is constructed from madake cane, creating a very smooth and moderate progressive action. It features a female ferrule with bamboo on the inside and truncated brass tubing externally. The male spigot ferrule is made of bamboo. Beautiful cherry (sakura) spacer and polished aluminum reel seat hardware. Translucent brown silk wraps with gold edges. Harada-san points out that madake cane has very fine fibers, resulting in a slower action, yet far from weak. The fine fibers also result in blanks with a very smooth and beautiful surface. The rod weighs 2.85 oz. The urethane varnish is perfectly executed. Comes with a custom Harada rod bag and custom wooden case.
