Ideal Nymph Rod Info Chart

Diamondback Fly Rods is a brand with a rich history dating back to the company origin in Stowe, Vermont in 1983. The rods built by hand in the Stowe factory were distinct and beautiful, with a unique braided pattern often built into the surface appearance of the carbon rods. Although the Stowe rod factory is no longer in operation, Diamondback has moved the company headquarters and product development process back to Vermont in 2021. With a renewed focus on designing beautiful, high performance fly rods, Diamondback is excited to bring awareness of this historic brand to a new generation of anglers!
