Are Daimondback flyrods not longer made ? Who knows what happened to this fine company ?

There are hundreds of new rods on offer has the company really folded?

From the web;
I remember Diamondback rods being sold here in the UK in the early '80s by Sue Burgess, which was an ancestor company of Airflo, and the rods had a good name (unlike some of the other stuff SB sold ) I don't recall Diamondback being seriously marketed here since.

The VSR's are superb rods.

I have a 10ft #7 3 piece if anyone is interested at £100 + P&P

My father used SB Diamondbacks and really rated them for long-distance reservoir casting in conjunction with a shooting head. With them he was capable of casting well over 40 yards on a regular basis. I seem to remember they had ratings of AFTM 4-7 & 5-8 which I thought strange at the time.

They were bought over by Cortland a while back.

I think they are still running tho' not really marketed here , they have a bunch of newish rods released not so long ago (Flawless , Diamondfly etc).

I'm a huge fan and have 3 x VSR's...fantastic rods the 9ft #6 is an absolute peach.

I used a 9' #4-7 SB Diamondback throughout the 80s,they had a distinctive cross-weave pattern through the blank...hence the name.That particular rod had a slow to middle action and I loved it at that time..though for me it was happiest with #4/5 lines.The VSR diamondbacks were a different animal altogether.
