rkey,
I can't speak for the Diamondback but for the length/line weight I can. I have a 6'4wt Cortland that is a real pleasure on the small streams. My Cortland is Med Fast and I can roll cast in areas where no other rod would do.
SP,
I know of what you speak. I am a registered defoliante in both the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the Commonwealth of Kentucky for leaving bare trees on the sides of the rivers.
