I'll pass on you then Joker, :rofl: :thumbsup: cheers davo

Dave I used to fly fish a lot 20 yrs ago. I can probably pass on some old info.

I tried it a couple of times could never get into it. Was a bit like golf, frustrated the hell out of me.....

what sort of questions are you looking at asking, I flyfish but pretty much only for trout.

At least I'll look the part :icon_lolz:

OK guys, I've picked up a Diamondback fly rod that had been stored for some years. Has anybody used one of these rods, I've googled for info but was curious to find someone who had used one. Not good (phone) pics but anyway, cheers davo

Hi Dave,

I can't see from the photo but it looks the deal. I personally like snake eyes rather than rings. Look just above the handle and it should give you a 'rating' - a # number. Match the rod +1 with the line. So if you have a #6 rod, match it with a #7 line. Ask a specific question if you want a specific answer - I'll be away for a week, just pm me if you need any more help.
