Sage Sense 10'6" 3wt Fly Rod (Euro)
Availability: | In stock |
You can think of Sage’s Sense series as the additional sixth sense that you often need when utilizing European Nymphing tactics. A rod designed specifically for Euro Nymphing and those who hold this tactic dear, the Sense is a new addition to Sage’s family and it’s a rod that increases sensitivity and ensures your sense of feel is always top tier. The Sense has a Euro Nymphing specific action that combines a soft tip to enhance precision and handle light tippets that then transitions into a more stout butt that makes for solid hooksets, reliable control over fish, and a reduction of “bounce.” Coming in just under $600, Sage’s Sense is made in Bainbridge Island, Washington and allows you to dial in your Euro Nymphing approach without breaking into a higher price point, and although this isn’t a thousand dollar rod, you’re sure to be impressed with its classic Sage craftsmanship and top notch componentry.
Blank
Generation 5 Technology - Sage focuses their Sense collection around a high level of responsiveness with a super lightweight feel that doesn’t sacrifice strength. This is a perfect construction for Euro Nymphing techniques because it provides a direct level of connection that allows you to feel every rock or mouth on the bottom of the water. Made with a proprietary graphite hoop that’s combined with minimal glass scrim, the Sense is an elegant and effective tool that’s built in a Stealth Grey color with black primary blanks so that you blend in and look good doing so. The Sense is made in 10’ lengths in 3 and 4 weight models, and the 3 weight also comes in a 10’6” version should you want to go a little longer.
