EUROPEAN NYMPHING / MEDIUM ACTION
The tight-line nymphing power tool. Every detail of the ESN series is specifically designed around tight-line nymphing, from the down-locking reel seat to the soft and highly sensitive tip. Whether you’re seeking extreme sensitivity with the 2100-4, an extra bit of reach with the 3106-4, or a sturdy fish-lifting backbone with the 4100-4, the ESN series has the right tool for your quiver.
Our new 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 tuned to deliver optimal performance in tight-line applications.

I’ve used the 3106-4 for several weeks now and it’s perfect for tight-line nymphing in rivers. The sensitivity is outstanding and the rod handles both light and strong strikes well. It feels balanced and easy to cast in windy conditions.
Alison Springer –
Switched from a traditional rod to the 2100-4 and noticed a big difference in how quickly I can detect subtle bites. The tip is very responsive and the blank recovery is smooth. Great for small streams.
Gordon Dickens –
The 4100-4 is a bit heavier than expected, but it holds fish firmly during strong runs. It’s not ideal for very light nymphing, but works well in deeper water with larger nymphs.
