Sage ESN Reels
From a tackle standpoint, Euro nymphing is all about the right tool for the job. Euro rods are highly evolved, none more so than the Sage ESN. Now, Sage has designed a counterpart to these fine specialty rods, a reel of variable weight that can be adjusted to balance a rod of any length. Since European nymphing lines do not vary by weight, a single reel to complement any Euro rod simplifies the kit for acolytes of this globally popular technique. The Sage ESN reel has a completely sealed carbon fiber drag system and a closed frame to prevent fine tippets from slipping between the spool and frame. A clever weight system allows the angler to tune the reel for use with any fly rod and a numbered drag knob with distinct detentes allows one to set drag tension with confidence. Pair with a Sage ESN rod for the ultimate Euro nymph outfit.
