There's no getting around it, gluing cork onto a blank makes it stiffer. By removing sections of cork we have allowed the blank to flex more naturally. The results are felt through the casting stroke and whilst playing a fish. There is less vibration in the rod during casting. Once you get over the initial impact of the design and use it, the benefits are evident.

Built using Diamondback’s unique Diverse Modulus Design(DMD), the CLOUT is designed specifically for accurate casts, subtle mends, and that perfect blend of power and finesse.

LINK GRIP Design

The first thing you’ll notice about this rod is the distinct and minimal style “LINK GRIP”. Diamondback's LINK GRIP allows more feeling of the rod's internal action. The grip balances comfort with sensitivity and control. This minimal grip design allows the caster immediate sensations from the rod's action. The ribbed area provide relaxed comfort.

The LINK GRIP negates the great amount of pressure most anglers apply to their rod handles because the fingers settle between the carefully shaped cork rings. Hand and wrist fatigue are dramatically reduced even during extensive casting and fish fighting activity.
