Sage ESN Euro Nymphing Reel
Packed with a suite of specialty features, the full-frame Sage ESN Euro Nymphing Reel is designed specifically with the Euro Nymph angler in mind. Built around a super thin and large diameter arbor, this design now makes it easier to get fish on the reel quickly, minimizing the need to guide line onto the spool with your finger, all while providing consistent drag output. A unique balance system allows anglers to assemble and fine-tune a set of weights, so the ESN reel can perfectly balance any Euro Nymphing (or standard) rod. Add in a full frame that prevents fine leaders and lines from sneaking through the frame, and a sealed carbon drag system that provides a smooth uptake – leaving you with the ultimate fish-catching machine.
