Diamondback Rod Ideal Nymph
From: €599.00
Diamondback Rod Ideal Nymph
SKU: NFD9980

The Ideal Nymph range is a series of tactical nymphing rods that has been thoughtfully designed in every possible aspect to be the most effective and pleasant feeling nymphing tools. The rods have a non-glare matte finish, down-locking matte titanium color hardware with high density premium quality cork grips, Curly Koa wood spacers and compact fighting butts. Rod accents include dark amber color primary wraps and titanium metallic accent wraps. Guide selection and placement on nymphing rods is critical to performance, and Ideal Nymph rods have the right components in the right places. The 1wt, 2wt, and 3wt models for both 10′ and 10’10” lengths are outfitted with three snake guides below the rod tip, which helps counter leader-wrapping problems with long leaders. The 10’10” 4wt and 6wt models have three single foot guides below the rod tip. Two lightweight single foot stripping guides create a smoother surface at the most critical contact areas while the rod is heavily flexed fighting a fish. Dark colored single foot guides cover the area between the snake guides and the stripper guides. Guide placement is optimized with a stripping guide on the butt section to minimize potential line sag. Ideal Nymph blanks are designed to maximize recovery speed and feel, while still flexing enough to load with mono rigs and lightweight nymphs. All Ideal Nymph rods have a firm backbone that allows for a quick hookset and great fish retention, while having the smooth power transition that allows anglers to apply firm pressure to fish without fear of breaking light tippets.

Diamondback Rod Tactical Long
€649.00
Diamondback Rod Tactical Long
SKU: NFD9976

Most people think a shorter rod cast better into a strong wind. That is correct, unless you design a longer rod to do the same.
This rod, in 6 and 7wt would be an excellent choice for Coastal Sea Trout and several other applications.

The Tactical Long rods are 9’4” fast-action, all-purpose fly rods, built for both light saltwater and heavy freshwater applications. Available in sizes ranging from 6wt up to 10wt, these rods offer a smooth, responsive action that easily adapts to various line configurations and effortless casting experiences with floating, intermediate, and sinking lines.

The extended 9’4” length provides extra casting distance with less effort—whether you’re fishing from a boat, wading from the shore, standing on a breakwall, or casting from a personal, low-profile watercraft—all while maintaining precision and control.

Designed to pair seamlessly with the most popular fly options for each line weight, these rods feature large stripping guides and oversized snake guides, which help to haul and shoot intermediate and sinking lines. A Full Wells premium cork grip with enhanced with rubberized composite trim edges provides durability and comfort. A polished silver anodized dual-locking aluminum reel seat offers saltwater-ready construction for a secure fit. A Cork fighting butt with black foam trim bottom edge provides extra leverage during intense battles. Striking ocean blue wraps with silver trim offer a sleek, refined finish.

With many common sinking line options sized in grain weights, it is important to build rods that have a clear grain window in addition to a line weight rating. Tactical Long rods are designed to fit into a line weight class but also rated with their best grain weight match.

Whether you’re targeting powerful saltwater species or aggressive freshwater predators, the Tactical Long rods deliver the versatility, distance, and strength to master any fishing environment.

Diamondback Rod Universal Predator
€649.00
Diamondback Rod Universal Predator
SKU: NFD9977

PIKE & HUCHO HUCHO!

Rod length: 9’4ft
400 grain translate to 9-12wt depending style of line you are using
500 grain translate to 10-13wt depending style of line you are using

The Universal Predator rods are purpose-built for anglers who chase aggressive, hard-hitting predatory fish with large flies—blending power, precision, and durability into an ultra-lightweight package, designed to make fly fishing for apex predators more effective and effortless. Crafted from a strategic mix of carbon fibers and S-Glass, the emerald glass-colored blanks offer exceptional strength without unnecessary weight. Predator fishing demands hours of repetitive casting, and these rods deliver the comfort and efficiency needed to stay in the game longer. Their powerful yet responsive build allows you to launch massive flies with ease and absorb the impact of boatside hookups.

When a predator crushes your fly, often moving toward you with a vice-like grip, setting the hook and maintaining tension can be a challenge. And that’s where rod action matters most. The Universal Predator rods feature a carefully refined action needed to effectively apply and maintain pressure during the fight, a critical design characteristic refined over two seasons of rigorous field testing in demanding fishing conditions.

Predatory fish frequently follow and strike your fly right near the boat, requiring a rod that can handle high-stakes, close-range hooksets. The added length of 9’4” keeps flies deeper during retrieval and improves boatside maneuvers when fish are tracking your fly. The low-modulus fibers and S-Glass reinforcement in the bottom sections provide the blank strength to absorb the brutal impact of big fish crushing the fly with only a short length of line outside your rod tip.

Stealthy olive-colored wraps and black, heavy-duty snake guides eliminate glare and distraction for a wary fish that is focused on your fly. Thin and stiff rod tips keep your fly in motion and minimize resistance when forced through the water during boatside presentations. Universal Predator rods are built for serious anglers who know that every detail matters.

Taylor Anomaly X Rods
SKU: NFD9822

ANOMALY (DEFINITION): SOMETHING THAT DEFIES WHAT IS NORMAL OR EXPECTED
The Anomaly X is not an iteration. It is a breakthrough.

Built with Taylors Generation 2 Graphene Technology and paired with Toray T1100 graphite, the Anomaly X represents the next leap in fly rod engineering. These two advanced materials work together to create what may be the lightest rod blank and swing weight ever achieved in fly fishing. In fact, the 6 weight Anomaly X is lighter in both physical weight and swing weight than the original Anomaly Z 5 weight, which was already considered industry leading.
The result is immediate and unmistakable. Faster energy transfer. Lightning fast recovery. Exceptional accuracy at every distance. The rod loads effortlessly yet recovers with precision and authority, allowing you to feel more connected to the cast and the fish than ever before.
The Anomaly taper you love has been refined again, delivering greater control, tighter loops, and more consistent accuracy from short technical casts to long bomb shots.
