need help with fly rod identification. ok i know it is a Cabelas i think its their CRG model but a very older one. it is a very well made rod does not look like the current model they sell. measure 8'8' and feels like a 4 or 5 weight not sure. any ideas???? no markings on rod.

The rod appears to be that other material...

The rod looks more like a custom build than a factory rod. I suspect the tube came from Cabelas, but nothing else.

Thats a Diamondback (Classic Trout) Graphite blank, was made in Vermont, like Tom said, its a custom build with a Cabelas tube. Rondon (I think that is how it is spelled) reel seat.

You'll have to put a line on it to really figure that out, its either a 4/5 or 5/6 most likely.

Good looking rod down lock reel set spigot fitting which I like both. A good find.

If you like the slower action of fiberglass rods...you will like that Diamondback, even if it is graphite.
