Sage ESN 4100-4 - ROD1168

The Sage ESN 4100-4 is purpose-built for the specific demands of European Style Nymphing on medium to large rivers. This 10-foot rod provides the critical reach needed to guide flies through complex currents while maintaining a direct connection to the fly. Rated as a 4-weight, it offers increased power in the butt section compared to lighter ESN models, making it the ideal choice for anglers targeting larger trout or fishing heavy cover where turning a fish quickly is essential. The action is tuned to have an incredibly sensitive tip for strike detection that transitions smoothly into a stout backbone.

Sage engineered this model using their exclusive KonneticHD technology which optimizes the graphite-to-resin ratio for a lighter and stronger blank. This construction minimizes vertical vibration and enhances recovery speed, ensuring accuracy and reducing tip bounce. The rod features a down-locking reel seat which shifts the weight of the reel further back, creating a perfectly balanced system that reduces arm fatigue during long days of high-sticking. Every component, from the stripping guides to the single-foot snake guides, is selected to minimize line sag and friction.

This pre-owned fly rod is in Great condition and shows only minor evidence of previous use. Recast Fly Fishing has conducted a full inspection to verify that the blank and components perform as new. Investing in this used rod provides an opportunity to fish with premium, specialized technology while keeping your budget intact.

Take control of the drift with a rod engineered for technical precision.
