Sage ESN Rod

Sage has long been one of the worlds most lauded fly rod manufacturers, and with good reason. Hand-made on Bainbridge Island, Washington, Sage rods have been the measuring stick against which all other brands are gauged, both for performance, and workmanship, for quite some time. The ESN is a top-of-the-line euro nymphing rod by every measure. It's got low swing weight and recovers as quickly as any other rod in class thanks to Sage's proprietary KonneticHD technology. No cost was spared on the rods componentry, from the graphite to the guides to the cork.

Here's what Sage has to say: 

"Our ESN was designed specifically for European style nymphing techniques developed to maximize catch rates. Built with a KonneticHD backbone, the ESN allows anglers to experience unmatched blank recovery, increased sensitivity, reduced weight-in-hand, and superior shock absorption to better hold fish. The refined medium action has been designed with a variety of long and short line techniques and situations in mind, allowing you to confidently work any stretch of river. From small creeks to big rivers, the ESN is as dynamic as the water."
