Diamondback Fly Rods

For anyone in the UK looking at Diamondback rods my experience from receiving whole rods to ordering a spare tip the service is almost as quick as any you will find in the UK.

The rod I now have is a huge improvement on the previous generation. The tip is much softer whilst retaining the same amount of backbone lower down the blank.

The reel seat fittings are made from far more solid aluminium and the butt ring is much closer to the cork for better control over sag if you use a nymph line.

The tip recovery is also very good on this rod and after a couple of months using it I’m very impressed.

I am the proud owner of a 10’ 7” 2 weight Gen IV nymph rod. I am very impressed with its recovery, sensitivity and fish fighting ability! I had an opportunity the other day to switch to a two weight fly line. The rod handled my dry fly fishing with no complaints.

These are the best around in every aspect ! Quality, taper, flex and above all customer service gives anything from Dback way more than 5 stars.

Just got back from Mexico yesterday. Aero Flex Salt 7/8 reel worked very well for Black Tailed Devil!!

The rod is awesome, I like the feel of the carbon fiber grip. I can’t wait to get it out on the water more!

I am good at trout fishing everywhere but in the Midwest most of the time. 28" Rainbow footballs on the Kenai, 34" Steelhead in ..a place... And great fun fishing all over the Western states with my 5 wt. I finally bought the Gen IV and Ideal Nymph reel and went from 3 fish last Friday to 40 fish this past friday including nice 20" brown. When the streams here see 5,000 Minnesotans that don't have trout streams adding pressure euro nymphing does the trick. Caught two simultaneously in the afternoon as well. Feels like I entered a cheat code.

I have been playing with 2 handed overhead casting for pike for about 7 years now. In that time, I have been looking for a good 2 handed option to recommend to my guests. This rod fits the bill nicely. Light and fast enough to fish one-handed, yet it has the power and flex to be effective throwing a 15” musky fly in the 2 handed style. Diamondback has really nailed it with this one.

5 stars!

I have not had the chance to use the new rod (replacement of an old broken one) yet. But the customer service is very efficient and pleasant. The shipment (to Europe) was fast.

I appreciate Diamondback not only being a great performing rod - but the quick response of staff and arrival of the spare part sets them apart from other companies.

Fast turnaround. Great service. You guys rock

Just picked up a Gev IV 10' 2-weight (cork grip) and it's the most precise rod I've ever owned. I've fished it twice with a micro leader setup and am still in awe of how incredibly accurate it is, even with beads down to 2mm. It's light, balances well and is just a joy on water. I have a 2 weight line I want to spool onto my reel because I bet it'll make a pretty sweet dry fly rod, too. Thanks, Joe and everyone at Diamondback for a truly awesome piece.

I got the 10'7" 2wt rod. I am really impressed with it. It is super sensitive you feel every bite and rock you tick.

Awesome reel!
We've been fishing for smaller stripers that are schooling over the main lake, and smallmouth bass along the banks in the rocks. Smooth and fast, the Aeroflex has handled everything we've asked it to do with ease.
Moreover, it has been flawless in operation!
I can highly recommend this as a go-to freshwater fly reel.

I use these rods for most of my trout fishing with clients, personally, and in competitive realm. Highly recommended
