Salmon Steelhead Rods

Names like Restigouche, Miramichi, Tweed and Skeena are all synonymous with salmon and steelhead fishing. Big water, big fish, and long rods. At Diamondback, we are proud to continue our long tradition of building hand made fly rods with a series of double handed salmon and steelhead rods. Diamondback’s Salmon/Steelhead double-handed rod series have been developed for maximum casting distance, superior line control and effortless tight loops even in the most difficult conditions. With their unique ability to cover larger water and for their ease of casting, these double handers are a joy to cast hour after hour. Available in three piece sizes of 12 ½’ for a 7/8 weight, 13’ for an 8/9 weight, 14’ for a 9/10 weight, and 15’ for a 10 weight.
