All of the models are also available as unfinished blanks (list price $153).
Currently, the production equipment for Diamondglass (and the rest of the Diamondback rods) is stored in Cortland, NY. It is quite likely that Diamondglass rods won't be produced in the US again. While Cortland has not officially discontinued the line, they have not resumed production either.

is in Nunn, Colorado, north of Denver and near the Wyoming border - in other words, in the heart of Western Trout Country. Terry's rods reflect that Western personality, they are on the quick side for glass with reserve power for longer casts and wind. This personality stems from the construction technique used for the blanks. First, a helical core of low modulus graphite is applied to the mandrel to provide hoop strength to keep the rod round during casting. Next, a layer of fiberglass is laid over the graphite core to define the rod action and casting properties. The result is a rod with a little slimmer profile and less mass for the specified line weight. The metallic olive/green color is a stylish touch reminiscent of Garcia's Lee Wulff series of Conolon fly rods.
