Sage ESN Fly Rod

SAGE ESN FLY ROD

When having extra reach is important, grab the ESN Fly Rod to more effectively cover the water. A strong rod that is able to handle the diversity.  

Sage's ESN was designed specifically for Europeanstyle 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.

MAXIMIZED SENSITIVITY
Built on a Konnetic HD material platform, the carbon-dense design and soft tip allows for the utmost in sensitivity while tight-line nymphing, offering the angler the ability to detect even the most subtle of subsurface takes.

REDUCED WEIGHT-IN-HAND
Every detail in the ESN series is designed around maximum efficiency for the most technical of tight-line nymph anglers. This means that the extremely lightweight blank and minimal componentry aren’t the only contribution to the featherweight feel in hand, but a down-locking aluminum reel seat pulls the balance point even closer to the angler allowing for less fatigue while keeping the rod tip high.

SUPERIOR SHOCK ABSORPTION
The soft tip of the ESN allows for superior protection of the finest tippet and leaders. Combined with a powerful lower end, the ESN is able to effectively lift fish out of deep lies and heavy water without sacrificing tippet protection.

KONNETIC HD
KonneticHD Technology is the next era in performance graphite rods. Optimizing Sage's graphite-to-resin ratio, they have created a higher density (HD) fiber composite, resulting in lighter, stronger blanks which deliver unmatched recovery, energy transfer, and line/loop control. Building upon proprietary construction techniques developed for Konnetic Technology, KonneticHD gives us an elevated platform to achieve new levels in rod design.
