Modern, multi-piece fly rods are a complex assembly of segments from materials that must all function together as one system. To insure specific performance and consistent rod action, Diamondback design utilizes its detailed engineering function known as "Diverse Modulus Design (DMD).
DMD is the precise application of a variety of pre-impregnated composite fibers in controlled configurations to finely tune and balance the rod. Taken to exacting measures, this technique refines stiffness, overall blank strength and speed of recovery in specific sections of each rod.
The results of such painstaking material research and resin/fiber schedules are rods that produce smooth, effortless casts. Such attention to materials and construction will insure the user of a rod capable of maximum performance when battling determined fish, overcoming windswept casting conditions and surviving unexpected punishment from endless fishing trips.
DIAMONDBACK CORE REINFORCEMENT CONSTRUCTION (CRC)
Fly rods are created to perform when they are flexed. Thus Diamondback rods are designed with features to counteract the increased loads repeatedly applied to specific areas from endless flexing.
Diamondback's Core Reinforcement Construction (CRC) is a remarkable rod construction system to bolster blank structure, thereby increasing the circular or "hoop strength" of the rod without piling on added weight.
Isolating and harnessing the added pressures from flexing stress during a cast reduces transmission of uneven fly line waves and allows greater casting accuracy.
DIAMONDBACK LINK GRIP
(Available on CLOUT rod series)
A caster is connected to the fly rod through the grip. Much of "how a rod feels" immediately develops from this first rod-user handshake.
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.

The Meeker 8'6" 6 wt hhttp://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/17060/The-Captive-City/articles.htmltas been in my hand for two weeks now. I find the fit and finish are very nice. While lawn casting, in the cold temps here. The Meeker handles 5,6,and 7 wt lines to about 40 ft. I think the Meeker could be my all around rod. Thanks, Dave
I went out on a limb two years and chose the 7'6" 3 at. I've always been skiddish with glass rods because theres so much junk being produced now days. But after two years of extensive use in the mountains of North Carolina I'm extremely pleased. Action, durability, price, components, and finish are top notch. This little glass rod is perfect for chasing southern Appalachian brook trout, we call them "specks", in these high elevation, rugged mountains. To say I'm satisfied is an understatement. Thank you!
An all around good nymphing rod. Took the 6 weight, I built, in high water conditions and it performed well. Protected 5x tippett on a wild brown well over 20". For the price a well performing rod. The only improvement I would reccomend, is a stronger butt section. I think it would improve this rod's streamer throwing capabilities. Which is a must with any 6 weight in my opinion.
What a blank! What a rod! I got both the 6'6" and 8' #5. Both rods are perfect in terms of how much they bend yet how much power they still have. I started out with glass way back and I thought going back to glass may be more romantic than anything. That's not the case. These are my goto rods now for trout in small to medium size rivers and stillwaters.
