The rumors and limited information have been floating around the internet for a couple months now but it's getting closer for the Cortland Diamondback Glass fly rods to start showing up in shops across the country in early 2011.
It's great to see a company go back to the drawing board and bring back a beloved glass fly rod line that many had thought to be forever gone.
The blanks for the Diamondback Glass series are sourced out of country but finished by a notable rod builder (Cortland is keeping this a secret) stateside.
The models for the series break down to the following...
6’ 2 wt. 2 pc. (2.5 oz.)
6’6” 3 wt. 2 pc. (3.0 oz.)
7’ 3 wt. 3 pc. (3.4 oz.)
7’6” 3 wt. 3 pc. (3.7 oz.)
8’ 4 wt. 3 pc. (3.9 oz.)
8’6” 4 wt. 3 pc. (4.0 oz.)
The biggest question that many are asking is how the new Diamondback Glass series will compare to the last generation? I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
