The individual models are not simply the same blank in different lengths and line weights – each variant has its own action profile tuned to fly weight, tippet diameter, fish size and presentation style.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    At Thymallus we offer two lightweight configurations with a \u003cstrong\u003eCarbon Grip\u003c\/strong\u003e: the ultra-finesse \u003cstrong\u003e10'0\" \/ #1\u003c\/strong\u003e and the more versatile \u003cstrong\u003e10'7\" \/ #2\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The manufacturer positions it as a finesse tool for small nymphs, very light leaders and wary fish. It is optimized for approximately size 14–26 hooks and 6X or finer tippet. The blank loads with very little weight and is designed to protect fine diameters during the fight.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003e10'7\" \/ #2\u003c\/strong\u003e adds reach and greater versatility. The manufacturer recommends approximately size 12–24 hooks and 5X–8X tippet. It remains a light, sensitive nymphing rod, but offers more reserve for multi-fly rigs and larger fish. Independent testing of the 10'7\" #2 classified its action as \u003cstrong\u003emoderate-fast\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a smooth progressive bend and no pronounced hard spot, which helps protect fine tippet.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eCarbon Grip – more contact, less insulation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The Carbon Grip is a functional component rather than simply a visual alternative to cork. Its firm composite surface transmits vibration directly to the hand and improves feedback from the rig. User reports repeatedly mention secure grip when wet and very direct transmission of subtle contact.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    There is also a practical trade-off: in cold weather the carbon grip feels noticeably colder than cork. Anglers who fish mainly in winter should take that into account.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eGuide layout designed for mono and micro-leader setups\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The first stripping guide is positioned very close to the grip to reduce leader sag and improve contact with the rig. Lightweight single-foot guides follow, with three snake guides in the upper section to help reduce fine monofilament wrapping around the tip.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    On a Euro nymphing rod, guide position and guide weight strongly affect how the upper blank behaves. Generation IV therefore treats the blank, grip, reel position and guide train as one integrated system.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"responsive-table-wrapper\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"responsive-table\"\u003e\n      \u003ctable class=\"flyline-table\"\u003e\n        \u003cthead\u003e\n          \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003cth\u003eVariant\u003c\/th\u003e\n            \u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n            \u003cth\u003eAFTMA\u003c\/th\u003e\n            \u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n            \u003cth\u003ePacked length\u003c\/th\u003e\n            \u003cth\u003eRecommended empty reel weight*\u003c\/th\u003e\n          \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003c\/thead\u003e\n        \u003ctbody\u003e\n          \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e10'0\" \/ #1 \/ Carbon Grip\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e305 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e#1\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e89 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e85 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eapprox. 142 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003c\/tr\u003e\n          \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e10'7\" \/ #2 \/ Carbon Grip\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e323 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e#2\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e97 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e90 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eapprox. 150 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n      \u003c\/table\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"right-fade\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"table-scroll-hint\"\u003e← Scroll table sideways →\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003e* Manufacturer guidance for balancing the outfit; the final result also depends on backing and fly-line weight.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhich variant should you choose?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10'0\" \/ #1\u003c\/strong\u003e – for maximum finesse, small nymphs, very fine tippet and small to medium-sized fish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10'7\" \/ #2\u003c\/strong\u003e – for more reach, wider rivers and more versatile light nymphing with additional reserve when fighting fish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"th-alert th-alert--blue\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eNot sure which variant to choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    We will gladly help you choose according to river size, nymph weight, tippet diameter and the size of fish you most often target.\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"DiamondBack","offers":[{"title":"10'0\" \/ #1","offer_id":55637998960982,"sku":null,"price":769.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10'7\" \/ #2","offer_id":55637998993750,"sku":null,"price":769.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/3667\/6438\/files\/diamondback-generation-iv-nymph-carbon-grip-set.jpg?v=1791398524","url":"https:\/\/www.thymallus.com\/en\/products\/diamondback-generation-iv-nymph-fly-rod","provider":"Thymallus Fly Fishing Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
