Picking a fly rod that’s best for you is no easy task. With so many quality rods to pick and choose from it’s difficult to make the right choice.

In 2001, I chose the Diamondback Rod Company to build my rods because of their professionalism in rod design, finish, quality of rod blanks and their reputation for standing behind their product. I wasn’t disappointed.

For the first time since the Fisher Rod Company went out of business, I’m really excited about our new 9 foot, three piece 5/6 and 6/7 rods that I feel rank at the top with any rod on the market. That’s a bold statement, but I feel we can back it up.

These rods are built with the highest modulus graphite on the market today. I designed them with strong butt sections for added power when long casts are in order, when using large heavily weighted flies and especially during windy conditions that are so common on stillwater. I don’t believe there is a rod out there that will fish better than this rod especially with the soft tip that all my rods are known for.

When it comes to appearance, this rod has it all. We spared no cost in selecting the very best reel seats, cork handle, stripping and snake guides. The dark olive color is attractive to look at and we put extra coats of epoxy for added protection. Compare the quality craftsmanship and I think you will agree.

Yes, I’m excited about these rods and I believe you will be too. In short, I think it is the best stillwater rod on the market when you combine casting, fishing and appearance.

The classic series rods, although less expensive, are made from the latest generation graphite and maintain the same quality features as the top of the line rods. All rod builders have access to the same graphite. The difference is not in the “modulus”, but in the action, performance and design that was incorporated into each rod.

Each has been personally tested by me to insure the quality and performance our customers have come to expect.

Each rod comes with a lifetime guarantee against breakage or defects. Without the overhead of owning a fly shop, you will find these rods are priced well below the top rods on sale in the marketplace today. No one can match the price for the performance. If you have questions please call me direct. I know you won’t be disappointed.

CLASSIC SERIES

Note: By using fluorocarbon tippets and a loop knot to tie the fly to the tippet in conjunction with a soft tip rod, you can use heavier tippets reducing the risk of break-offs
