    Diamondback Aeroflex Freshwater Fly Rods

    Diamondback Fly Rods is excited to announce the Aeroflex freshwater rod series. The difference with Aeroflex rod blanks is they are designed utilizing technology developed to meet the performance and durability challenges of the tactical nymph rod market. Each blank in the lineup was designed with numerous iterations of changes over nearly 2 years of development, with the goal being comfortable fishing and casting rods that generate high performance for a wide spectrum of casting styles and popular line choices. They are dynamic fishing tools that will achieve smooth and accurate casts at common fishing distance, but have a hidden reserve power revealed when pushing a long cast into the wind or fighting a bigger fish. Oversize Sea-Guide titanium frame stripper guides start at the base of the butt mid on most models, with the guide located on top of the ferrule overlap for increased strength and reserve power.
    Rods will be built with only the highest quality components. Flor-Plus grade cork, SNAKE brand guides in either single or double foot, bright nickel or dark nickel hardware and personalized for you. Upon purchase I will follow up with any build details and options clearly and easily presented.

    Rods come with the highest quality Wasatch FlyFishing tube (colors will vary) and rod sock.

    Diamondback Aeroflex Saltwater Fly Rods

    Diamondback’s new Aeroflex Salt rods are a carefully crafted series of high performance fly rods (7-11wt) developed over two full years of our fishing-focused design process. Aeroflex Salt rod designs feature actions driven by an acute awareness of popular lines, leaders, fly patterns, and fishing styles commonly associated with each line weight. That means having the right amount of tip power to quickly form a loop and turn over your leader making a quick cast with a weighted crab at a target in the wind. Or having the proper wall thickness and material composition and guide placement to not fail when that big albie is digging under the boat in 3-5′ waves as a fall storm is moving up the coast. Great fishing rods must incorporate durability with performance, and Aeroflex Salt rods have optimal material choices combined with unique expansion concepts that allow for a lightweight product with incredible performance and outstanding durability.

    Each Aeroflex Salt model has a different blend of carbon fibers, with an increasing presence of S-Glass in the lower sections of the larger models 9-11wt for lifting strength. Rods feature carefully selected premium oversize black anodized snake guides with SeaGuide Titanium frame steep angled dual foot stripping guides, with optimal guide placement and wrap strategies to reinforce strength and durability.

    Diamondback Ideal Nymph Fly Rods

    The Ideal Nymph range is a series of tactical nymphing rods that has been thoughtfully designed in every possible aspect to be the most effective and pleasant feeling nymphing tools. The rods have a non-glare matte finish, downlocking dark nickel color hardware with high density premium quality cork grips, your choice of my premium wood spacers and compact fighting butts. Rod accents are your choice – or I can add my touch. Guide selection and placement on nymphing rods is critical to performance, and Ideal Nymph rods have the right components in the right places. Guide placement is optimized with a stripping guide on the butt section to minimize potential line sag. Ideal Nymph blanks are designed to maximize recovery speed and feel, while still flexing enough to load with mono rigs and lightweight nymphs. All Ideal Nymph rods have a firm backbone that allows for a quick hookset and great fish retention, while having the smooth power transition that allows anglers to apply firm pressure to fish without fear of breaking light tippets.

    Pictured rod is one built for a customer and a sample of my work. I maintain a variety of options for the wood insert for the reel seat and will present options at time of purchase. Cork grip options will be presented as well.

    Rods come with the highest quality Wasatch FlyFishing tube (colors will vary) and rod sock.
