8’08” – 9/10wt Paopao Semi-custom
8’08” – 9/10wt Paopao Semi-custom
The 8’08” Paopao (Golden trevally) was born out of obsession for flats foraging goldies. Designed to deliver accurate long range casts in high winds to distant tailers before they draw too near and spook. The rod also has an extreme amount of power in the butt section for lifting the full belly of the fly line out of the water allowing anglers to recast without having to strip the fly line all the way in. This attribute also allows for turning fish and lifting fish out of coral with the drag locked down. Built on hand rolled high modulus Toray Carbon with a very fast taper design. These rods are 8’08” 4pc extra-fast action and available in 9/10wt only with unsanded raw carbon finish for best possible strength to weight ratio. The semi-custom option is a way to order a customized rod directly from the website and save a little money over a fully custom build. Components options cover a wide range of aesthetics and performance options. All components are corrosion resistant and intended for saltwater use. The rod sock will be made to match the color scheme of the rod. Note: this is a handmade but semi-custom standard build with option of components as pictured.
