Product information "ESN Fly Reel (stealth)"

Packed with a suite of specialty features, the ESN reel is designed specifically with the Euro-Nymph angler in mind and is fine tuned to the nuances of the application. 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.

Sage Fly Rods & Reels – Performance Without Compromise 

Sage fly rods represent precision, control, and consistent performance. Anglers choose Sage when accuracy, power, and reliability matter on the water. Each rod reflects decades of experience in fly fishing and rod building. Sage produces all fly rods in the USA. 

Skilled rod builders assemble every blank, align components, and test each rod before it leaves the workshop. This process ensures consistent quality and a clean finish across all models. 

Advanced Materials and Fast Recovery 

Modern Sage fly rods use high-performance graphite to deliver fast recovery speed and stable tracking. The rod loads efficiently and transfers energy directly into the line. This leads to tighter loops, higher line speed, and better accuracy. 

Fast action models handle wind, large flies, and long casting distances. Medium action rods support controlled presentations at short and medium range. This range of actions allows you to choose the right tool for your fishing style. 

Designed for Real Fishing Situations 

Sage develops fly rods for specific applications. Each series focuses on a defined use on the water: 

  • Dry fly fishing with delicate presentation 
  • Nymph fishing with direct contact and sensitivity 
  • Streamer fishing with power and control '
  • Saltwater fishing with strength and corrosion-resistant components 
  • Two-handed casting for salmon and steelhead 

This clear focus improves performance in each situation and gives you better control over your cast and drift. 

Consistent Performance on Every Cast 

Sage rods feel light in hand and remain stable during the cast. The blank tracks straight and recovers quickly. This helps you place the fly exactly where you want it. Even under pressure from strong fish, the rod maintains control and protects the leader. 

High-quality components support long-term use. Durable guides, solid reel seats, and clean cork grips ensure reliable performance over many seasons. 

Why Anglers Choose Sage Fly Rods 

  • Built in the USA with strict quality control 
  • High-performance graphite construction 
  • Fast recovery for precise casting 
  • Models for trout, predator, and saltwater fishing 
  • Reliable components for long service life 

Sage fly rods deliver performance you can rely on. They support accurate casting, controlled drifts, and secure hook sets in all fishing conditions.

FIPS Euro Nymph orange / sage / olive (#2-5)

The Euro Nymph line was designed to satisfy the need for a one size fits all European style nymphing line that is competition legal. The line is built on a thin diameter, low stretch, supple core to maximize sensitivity and allow for lightning fast hook sets, while a highly visible tip helps anglers detect the slightest of strikes. This line is designed specifically for European style nymphing techniques, such as „French“, „Czech“, „Polish“ and „Spanish“ styles.  Line: one size fits all rods #2 - 5Length: 24,4 meterColor: orange / sage / olive    Technologys   XS (Extreme Slickness)The RIO test laboratories carried out extensive practical experiments and material combinations, until they discovered the secret behind the XS Technology. The result is a ge-neration of fly lines with a slicker surface. On the water this leads to longer and more accurate casts, less abrasion, less dirt attraction and an overall better performance.   ;Welded LoopsRIO pioneered / originated the innovative welded loop technique. Welded loop fly line tips float better and enable a rapid change of leader. Almost all RIO fly lines are supplied with these small welded loops, please see the appropriate line diagram for information.
