Diamondglass Fly Blanks

I was wondering if anyone has built up a rod on a Diamondglass blank and what information you could give me about them. I am looking for a slow action blank for small flies and small streams and I would be open to any other options.
Thank you,
Dustin

I tried a rod at a show. I think it was an 8' 4 wt. I was really impressed. It was effortless to cast. These are not anything like the old fiberglass rods.

Look at the Forecast blanks. I've built five fly rods from 3 weight to 7 weight. I'd call them a moderate action. The 7;9" 3 weight was a really nice rod. Pac Bay makes one (Tradition series) the same size and weight that I'm building now that seems a bit faster. Neither blank will cost you an arm and a leg.
