The legendary Paul H.Young Boat Rod taper redefines bluewater fly rod performance. This 8ft 2pc blank combines 6wt line capacity with radical taper engineering - a 0.386" reinforced butt section merges with explosive front taper progression (0.268"→0.386" over 40") to create unmatched power for battling sailfish and casting 10" streamers through hurricane-force winds.
Crafted from six precision-split Tokunaga bamboo culms, each strip undergoes 72-hour thermal stabilization before assembly. The 18% nickel silver ferrules employ aerospace-grade cold forging technology, delivering flawless connection integrity even after prolonged saltwater exposure.
Optimized for pelagic carnivores, this blank drives 400+ grain lines with surgical accuracy, whether targeting cruising GT on Indo-Pacific flats or locking horns with yellowfin tuna at offshore FADs. The default water-based varnish protects during shipping, while serious builders can request raw blanks for custom finish systems.
