Diamondback Aeroflex Salt Single Handed Fly Rod

The company Diamondback Fly Rod Co. is not a new name in the fly fishing market, as since 1983, the premium manufacturer from Vermont has been producing well-thought-out rods for discerning fly anglers. However, especially in the past few years, the American rods have come back into focus for demanding fly fishermen thanks to their thoughtful, application-oriented designs. The Aeroflex range encompasses a series of well-thought-out rod models, ranging from the delicate trout rod to the robust Aeroflex Salt rods. Not only has the action of the rod models been specifically tailored to their respective areas of use, but also the components and their arrangement to best meet the demands of demanding streamer fishing. This ensures that you always have the right tool in hand for each specifically targeted species to counter the strong fish.

The Diamondback Aeroflex Salt single-handed fly rod was designed over two years of practical development, and during these two years, a real workhorse was created thanks to high-performance materials and high-quality components. The fly rods are designed to cast quickly and accurately, even in winds that are not always favorable or on a shaky boat in the waves. For this purpose, the tip of the Aeroflex was developed to have sufficient power to create a fast tight loop for quicker re-casting of the fly. The best possible wall thickness and material composition were also calculated, following the motto of "as little as possible but as much as necessary" to design a rod tip that is thin enough to cut through the wind and have minimal weight, yet also very stable and robust. The arrangement of the guides also plays a crucial role, and it is immediately noticeable that the guide size also plays a role in the Aeroflex. The guide size was intentionally chosen slightly larger to reduce friction in the guides and to prevent tangling of the line.

Another important aspect is the composition of the material, particularly the combination of carbon fiber and S-Glass. As the rod class increases and thus the potential additional stress from larger fish, the composition of the carbon fiber blend also changes. The higher the rod class of the Aeroflex, the higher the S-Glass content in the blend of the lower rod sections. The higher content provides greater lifting strength, a crucial factor, especially in the final moments of the fight when the rod already has a considerable bend. So, there's no need to worry when pumping a big fish with this rod in the last few meters. Additionally, this power is supported by the oversized SeaGuide Titanium guides, which were also perfectly placed and minimize the looping of the shooting line around the guide. The high-quality cork, reel seat, and of course, the dark blue finish not only complete the overall picture of the Aeroflex, but also confirm that this is indeed an ingenious saltwater rod.

In short: The Diamondback Aeroflex Salt single-handed fly rod is a true workhorse for streamer fishing, from streams to pike lakes, to flats or offshore fishing for tarpon. The rod features high-quality, saltwater-resistant components and a brilliant material blend that gains S-Glass with increasing class to increase the strength of the rod, so you can tackle even the toughest fish without hesitation and always get peak performance - making casting and fishing enjoyable, without worries!
