Product Overview
The Blue Diamond is the Virtus line at a friendlier number, and it gives up less than the price gap suggests. Still built in the USA, still technique-specific through twelve casting models, still wearing Fuji Alconite guides and a graphite seat with carbon fiber hoods. If the Red Diamond is more rod than the job calls for, this is the one.
What you get
- Made in the USA in the Ozark Mountains
- Twelve technique-specific casting models
- Gunmetal Fuji Alconite guides
- Graphite reel seat with carbon fiber hoods
- Premium cork grip
