Did any of you use Shimano's Diaflash rods back in the day?
I'm going to look at a set but can't find any info on them.
I know they were a 90s rod but that is all.
Thanks

One of my first set of rods and i loved them. A mint set was doing really good money a couple of years ago. Lovely rods with a lovely action, similar to the twin powers. I loved the purple details on them. They pop up on ebay now and again. They were shimanos flagship rod back in the day and built with fuji sic guides and a fuji hooded reel seat.

Yes I have 6 of them 4 x 3lb and 2x 2 1/2lb I use them for piking
Still great rods
Only fault is the lacquer is peeling on them
They have lasted me over 30 years and still going strong
