由 Francis Haines If you’re looking for a Kabuto 7’0″ 3wt 3pc fly rod shipped from Japan, here are some options and considerations:
Where to Buy:
1. Japanese Retailers (Direct Shipping)
– Check sites like:
– [Amazon Japan](https://www.amazon.co.jp/) (search for “Kabuto 7ft 3wt fly rod”)
– [Rakuten Japan](https://global.rakuten.com/)
– [Japanese Fly Fishing Shops](https://fishing.shimano.co.jp/) (Shimano, Tenkara, etc.)
– Some may ship internationally, but you might need a proxy service (like Buyee or ZenMarket) if they don’t.
2. Global Marketplaces
– eBay – Some Japanese sellers list Kabuto rods there.
– Facebook Fly Fishing Groups – Enthusiasts sometimes sell or trade Japanese rods.
3. Specialty Fly Fishing Stores
– Some US/EU shops import Kabuto rods (though selection may vary).
– Try contacting JP Anglers or TenkaraBum (they specialize in Japanese rods).
Proxy/Forwarding Services (If Needed)
If the seller doesn’t ship internationally, use:
– Buyee ([buyee.jp](https://buyee.jp/))
– ZenMarket ([zenmarket.jp](https://zenmarket.jp/))
– Blackship ([blackship.com](https://www.blackship.com/))
Things to Check Before Buying:
✔ Shipping Cost – Can be high due to rod length (3pc helps).
✔ Import Taxes – Check your country’s customs fees.
✔ Authenticity – Ensure it’s a genuine Kabuto rod (some fakes exist).
