Trolling Rods

How many times have you imagined yourself hooking into The Big One? The reel is already whining as you pull the rod from the holder on the downrigger. You set the hook and the rod bends deep into the butt. You hunker down for the battle. This is going to be a long one.

You can’t see your adversary, yet you can feel every head shake, every movement he makes through the rod in your hands. You fight the fish for what seems like an eternity. Just when you think you are gaining some ground he dives, only to surface a split second late in an explosion of spray.

Finally, you land the fish and of course it was the biggest you have yet imagined. The best part, though, was that during the fight you could feel everything. Your rod did all the things you wanted it to without you really knowing it.

Fishing should be fun. Our imaginations and the anticipation of a good catch is part of what makes it so. In between those few lunkers that we are lucky enough to land are countless other fish of all sizes that should be fun to catch too.

Green Mountain RiggerRods by Diamondback make all types of Downrigger fishing fun. They are recognized by professionals as outstanding rods for big and smaller fish. Use them ... enjoy the thrill of the fight with the knowledge that your rod is the best there is.

Green Mountain RiggerRods are lightweight rods designed with a specialized taper to give the rods sensitive tips, yet plenty of backbone for strong hooksets and forced releases. They are constructed with DGS700 graphite for strength and power. The corrosion-resistant reel seat ensures long life and enables the rods to be used for saltwater fishing as well. We use a high density foam grip which stays soft even under cold conditions.
