In this video "Jackson Kawasemi Rhapsody: 4'11 Ultra Light Carbon BFS Trout Rod (BFS Trout Fishing)" Hobie-Wan Kenobi talks his experiences with this BFS trout rod made by @studiojackson.
Even though fiberglass rods get all the love in BFS trout fishing, there are many times I prefer a carbon rod over fiberglass. Carbon rods are much more sensitive, and they generally allow more control of the fish. This model of the Kawasemi Rhapsody has a higher lifting point, allowing me to fish jigs around cover such as downed trees or cut banks and have immediate control over the fish.
Carbon rods twitch minnow style lures better in my hands. The hookup ratio is a little lower but, can be mitigated by using monofilament/nylon line.
For panfish and bass BFS fishing, the Kawasemi Rhapsody has been very fun. This BFS rod is sensitive enough and has a great taper for bluegill, crappie and bass.
If you fish with micro jigs, soft plastics or other contact baits, carbon is definitely the way to go!

The headwaters of rivers and mountain streams are often found in rugged environments covered with brush, making it difficult to comfortably fish. In such places, anglers can find gorgeous native trout, and often the larger ones are hiding in the most difficult-to-reach pockets. Casting a lure to those tight “unreachable” points, and attracting mountain fish, for many, is the absolute pinnacle of bait finesse fishing pleasure. However, it is also true that clearing obstacles and fighting against the terrain can be the most stressful situations for anglers.
With this in mind, Jackson designed the Kawasemi Rhapsody Rod Series to be free from stress in these difficult situations. Carefully selected lengths that allow you to concentrate on your cast without being distracted by the surroundings of overhead tree branches, boulders, and grasses. Furthermore, by designing the actions of these rods so that each model plays a different role, anglers can fine-tune their techniques and diversify their lineup of useable finesse lures.
By utilizing Fuji SiC-S guide rings, the casting ability of lightweight lures, which are often used in trickle-style waters, has been further improved upon. While heavier sinking minnow lures with a fast initial velocity can be cast further by allowing line to smoothly pass through the guides after release.
Sometimes, the surrounding cover and terrain require that the angler cast with a sidearm or underhand technique to clear a branch, but with the support of this rod, it is possible to deliver the lure accurately every time with ease.
