Diamondglass Fly Rods

It's not your fathers' old car and its not your fathers' old glass rod, this is the new glass from Diamondback - Diamondglass. Some things do go full-circle and now technology takes another innovative leap to your advantage with S2 Fiberglass. These are hand-crafted fiberglass trout rods that are a must have - loaded with flexibility, strength and sensitivity far beyond anything available in graphite. The low profile S2 fiberglass and medium-progressive action combine to put Diamondglass in a class by itself. Diamondglass rods are magnificently finished in black gloss with the finest nickel silver and American Rosewood reel seats, stainless chrome guides with a hialoy insert in the stripping guides.

DiamondGlass Models:


GLR605 2pc: Short and light, this 5 weight provides for greater flexibility when fishing a variety of patterns. It's a great terrestrial rod that can also throw beefy streamers.

GLR663 2pc: Diamondglass rod designed for ultra-light presentations to trout, panfish and other small species. A great choice for mountain stream Brook Trout fishing.

GLR704 2pc: This seven footer is perfect for small stream trout fishing where a slightly longer rod is required for casting dry flies and nymphs in sizes 8 to 18. Incredibly strong and lightweight, this fly rod will also handle the unexpected larger fish that often surfaces in native trout streams.

GLR763 2pc: This fly rod is a perfect match to crystal clear running streams which often require the lightest tippets and longer casts for a successful presentation.

GLR804 2pc: This four weight rod will handle longer casts in windy conditions. Designed for larger trout, this rod will also perform flawlessly in most smaller western streams.

GLR703 3pc: This seven footer is perfect for small and medium stream trout fishing. Incredibly strong and lightweight, this fly rod will also handle the unexpected larger fish that often surfaces in native trout streams.
