SAGE | SENSE (Euro Nymph Rod):
With the explosion of Euro Nymphing techniques in the USA in recent years, there have been a number of rods created to accommodate this specific technique. Fly fishers are discovering the amazingly effective technique and are enjoying the benefits of it, including some amazing options on rods and reels.
If you are in the market for a new rod specifically designed for Euro Nymph fishing, take a hard look at the Sage Sense Rods, which is a great mid-priced rod. The SENSE is also a medium action rod ranging in models from the traditional 3100-4 and versatile 3106-4, to the big rig 4100-4. The SENSE offers specialized treatment for dialed execution. Performance in mind for the technical game of tight line fly fishing.
The most popular size being the 10;6” 3wt version. If you are only going to get one, get the 10’6” 3 wt for greatest versatility. Another important feature is the down locking reel set which brings the weight towards the but of the rod, keeping the tip light and sensitive which is a must for a quality Euro rod.

I'm an Euronymph Angler from Europe. You should sell Euronymph-Rods from Europe as an Euronymph-Rod. Sell Sage as US-Nymph Rod (heavy, stiff, oversized). Please sell as Euronymph-Rods from Hanak or Adams - they are producing real Euronymph Rods, because they are Euronymph-Competition Anglers and not dryfly-anglers form Montana. Thank you
