Red Truck Diesel | 10′ 3wt Fly Rod
You’ve been asking. We’ve been listening. And we’re confident this is going to become your favorite rod on the water.
Nymphing is the most effective way to catch trout — and the Red Truck Diesel Nymph was built to do it better. Not just a high-stick rod. Not just an indicator rod. This is a true all-around nymphing stick designed to handle every technique, every rig, and every situation the river throws at you.
At 10′ and 3wt, the extra length gives you exceptional line control, effortless roll casting, and easier mending — all critical when you’re trying to achieve a perfect dead drift. A reactive, sensitive tip telegraphs every subtle grab from a hungry fish, while the powerful mid-section and backbone give you the muscle to set the hook and fight fish with confidence. The ergonomic switch grip enhances feel and casting efficiency through long days on the water, and precision-fit ferrules mean fast turnaround if you ever need a repair.
Our field testers put this rod through its paces across every nymphing technique imaginable. The verdict was unanimous — this rod delivers.
In stock and ready to fish.

One of the best rods I’ve fished and I’ve fished a lot of them, can’t beat the price either!!

Honest review. I’ve been searching for the one rod that can do it all for the longest time. Living in the northeast, this is now the rod I will reach for every time. The versatility is mind boggling. Is this dry fly rod or a nymph rod? It’s both. It doesn’t do one thing better than the other, it does both EXCELLENTLY. Can’t believe that this high quality can be so affordable.

Super sensitive, Great look, will land strong fish in fast water! I love this rod for picking apart pocket water and cutbanks it has great reach and will those big flies it’s also great for throwing a single streamer and high sticking it through fast runs. I Highly recommend buying this rod !

This rod checks all of the boxes when it comes to pocket water fishing. The bottom line is it is light in the hand, extremely crisp and super sensitive. No more wobbly casts with excessive recoil
and this rod has tons of backbone. The Diesel 3100-4 is my second Red Truck purchase and hands-down my new favorite trout rod.

I wanted a quality rod with a good warranty that I could leave the East Tennessee rivers behind and head for the less fished mountain streams. After working with my dealer, what I got was my new go-to-fly rod for all conditions. My RTD 3100, paired with the Diesel 3/4 reel, spooled with 4wt line, I’m ready for the challenges the streams offer. And today, I had a -personal best trout fishing day. I just wished I had remembered pictures .
