About the Sense Nymphing Rod
Designed and produced with generation 5 technology which gives this rod an incredibly soft tip which allows for incredible sensitivity and greater control when using light tippets and smaller flies. This softer tip action when engaged absorbs shock and prevents bounce resulting in less tippet breakages when using fine tippets and less hook pulls.
Coming down the blank there is a stiffer butt section which allows anglers to fight and control the most powerful off fish whilst also allowing you to make quick hook sets with minimal recoil. This extra back bone and the minimal recoil makes it easier to keep the line tight during a fight reducing the chance of the fish throwing the hooks whilst allowing you to put the mightiest of trout in the net.
The rod blank has been fitted with a high quality lightweight Fuji ceramic stripper guide which has been optimally positioned keeping the line tighter to the hand and rod blank. Throughout the blank is high quality hard chromed single leg guides and finishing off the top is a hard chrome tip ring which help reduce the overall weight giving you a light in hand feel.
The Sense Nymphing rods feature a high quality snub nosed half wells cork handle and a matte black anodised aluminium down locking reel seat to allow you to secure your chosen reel in place whilst offering you better balance.
These rods are finished in a stealth grey blank colour with black and grey whippings and trims throughout are a 4 piece configuration and are supplied in a protective partitioned cordura rod tube.

About the ESN Nymph Fly Reel
Crafted from fully machined 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminium, the Sage ESN Nymph Fly Reel seamlessly merges lightweight design with exceptional strength and rigidity, ensuring durability and performance in the most challenging fishing conditions. Its aerospace-grade aluminium construction offers unmatched resilience to ensure you will be using this reel for many years to come. The reel undergoes a cold forging and tempering process for superior strength and structural integrity, minimising flex and distortion under heavy loads, ideal for pursuing trophy trout. Additionally, featuring a hard-anodised finish, the Sage ESN Nymph Fly Reel is protected against scratches, abrasions, and corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
Each ESN Nymph Reel is supplied with 3 interchangeable accessory weights (1/2oz,1oz and 1 1/2oz) to allow you to dial in the correct weight to balance your rod perfectly.
The Sage ESN Nymph Fly Reel features a full frame design, which helps prevent thin lines and tippets from becoming trapped in the reel. This full frame design also makes it far more durable and stable.
Equipped with a sealed carbon system (SCS) drag, the Sage ESN Nymph Fly Reel delivers smooth and consistent drag performance, essential for handling powerful fish with finesse and precision. The SCS drag system provides reliable stopping power to tame powerful runs, ensuring a controlled fight and reducing the risk of line breakage on fine tippets and leaders.
Engineered with a user-friendly one revolution drag knob featuring numbered and indented settings, allowing anglers to quickly and easily adjust the drag to their preferred setting with precision and accuracy. This intuitive design enables anglers to fine-tune their drag on the fly, adapting to changing fishing conditions or the behaviour of hooked fish without missing a beat.
Designed with an ultra-large arbour, the Sage ESN Nymph Fly Reel offers lightning-fast line pick-up, allowing anglers to quickly retrieve line . The expanded circumference of the arbour reduces line memory and increases line retrieval rate, enabling swift hook sets and responsive control over hooked fish.
Featuring a concave arbour design, engineered to provide greater strength and capacity while maintaining a lightweight and balanced feel. This innovative construction enhances the structural integrity of the reel, minimising flex and distortion under heavy loads and ensuring consistent performance in demanding fishing situations.
Each reel can be effortlessly converted from right to left hand wind to suit your needs and the ESN is supplied in a neoprene and embroidered ballistic nylon reel case & spare weight case to keep your reel in top condition when storing or travelling to your fishing spots.
