Marutake: Whole cane (bamboo) fly rod
I will now start fishing with a Marutake fly rod.
It is made by my sponsor, "Sakura" in Japan. Sakura is a 110+ year old rod shop. There has been a paradigm shift in Japan as well as China.
The Marutake rod is absolutely beautiful, stunning and has a action for small streams. The rod was made for me and took about a year. It appears to be of conventional construction but upon closer look, the nodes start to come into view and nature's imperfections come out as well but rest assured, it is a fishing tool no less than a bamboo fly rod.
I have been a small stream fly fishing enthusiast nearly my whole life, since I was a young child. This rod represents connecting many facets of my fishing.
I primarily fish traditional and American tenkara, bamboo rods that I have made but I will tell you this, the Marutake rod from Sakura will demand my time and attention on stream.
Lets see how this goes.
Pictures soon and a review as well.
