Product Details

Adjust Your Balance

Rod/reel balance is critical when Euro nymphing. The Sage ESN reel is equipped with three different weights to create the right balance with any Euro-style rod. Installation of the weights is simple. Just remove the spool. Unscrew the knurled washer. Remove the plastic spacer and replace it with the desired weight. Screw the knurled washer back on to secure the weight. Put the spool back on, and you’re ready to fish.

Sage ESN

Do you carry at least two colors of sighter material in your pack? Know how much each of your flies weigh in grains? Take every opportunity to bend your buddies' ear on silver vs copper bead colors or the latest version of a squirmy wormy fly? If these things sound familiar, then you're probably hooked on European Style Nymphing. And if you are, you know a reel is much more than just a line holder.

In steps the Sage ESN reel. Packed with a suite of specialty features, this 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 sealed carbon drag system that provides a smooth uptake - leaving you with the ultimate fish-catching machine.

The ESN reel comes in one size, containing 3 interchangeable accessory weights (1/2oz, 1oz, and 1 1/2oz), and is appropriate for dialing in any Euro Nymphing setup on the market.

"Decent Reel"

Adam Bates on 2/28/2021 5:32:33 PM

Review: Good first attempt by Sage. I like the option to add mass to the reel to balance with different rods. It picks up line fast and the full cage prevents my mono line from getting damaged. Typical quality Sage construction and click sound. It's not perfect however, the included weights have their own storage but its separate from the reel. It would be nice if the reel pouch had a compartment to store the weights or some way to attach the separate pouch. When changing a weight the circular ring that... More details

"Sage ESN Reel"

Tim H on 11/10/2020 11:06:05 AM

Review: I have been euro nymphing with a standard fly reel and even with high tolerance reels was tired of the thin euro fly line getting sucked into the guts of the reel. The full frame design nearly eliminates this from ever being an issue again which was my main motivation to buy. The adjustable weight option is great for being able to use this reel with multiple euro rods with some slight adjustments. Nice build quality, probably a bit on the higher side price wise but nothing else really comes clos... More details
