 Diamondback is proud to introduce anther exciting new series for 2011.
Glass. Love it or hate it, you can't deny that fiberglass fly rods have
a cult following. Slow down and flex a smooth loading glass rod, and
feel the precision and control that a full-flex rod provides. Based on
the popular Diamondglass series, the new Diamondback Glass rods are
constructed from Diamondbacks's proprietary S22 fiberglass blend, and
feature a striking midnight-blue gloss blank, dark blue wraps, silver
accent wraps, stainless chrome snake guides, and a fancy burled Mappa
reel seat.
Diamondback Glass rods are designed to be ultra-accurate at close
range, yet capable of reaching out when necessary. Each model has a
unique taper that maintains the distinct glass touch in the tip and
mid-section, yet provides enough backbone to strike and play large
fish. Their forgiving actions will allow for the most precise and
delicate presentations, and you wont find a sweeter series of dry fly
rods on the market.
All these rods are light in the hand, sleek in profile and set
a new benchmark for performance cosmetics and value for the Diamondback
Rod Company.
