The 8’08” Paopao (Golden trevally) was born out of obsession for flats foraging goldies. The rod has an extreme amount of power in the butt section for lifting the full belly of the fly line out of the water and turning fish with the drag locked down. This rod was achieved by using high modulus Toray carbon fiber with a very fast taper design. These rods feature an unsanded raw carbon finish to maximize the action and the strength to weight ratio.
