Cannes pêche à la Nymphe

Nymph fishing, the new phenomenon

Nymph fishing is growing in popularity and is converting many lure anglers and bait fishermen who fish with natural baits! And for good reason — the effectiveness of this technique is remarkable, even for beginners. We have selected models of different lengths, powers and actions to make sure you can find the rod that suits you.

Our team of enthusiasts' selection

• - Sage Sense 10'6 line weight 3,
• - Redington Strike 2 Euro Nymph 10'6 line weight 4,
• - Hanak Czech Nymph X 10' line weight 3,
• - Sage ESN HD 10 line weight 2.

One thing these rods all have in common (Hanak, Redington & Sage) is their lightness, allowing you to fish all day without tiring. Whether you practice toc nymphing, euro nymphing, Czech nymphing, Spanish nymphing or dry-dropper, rediscover the populations of trout, grayling and other fish that inhabit your rivers. 

Which rod for nymph fishing?

Length

It should be adapted according to the environment being fished. In large rivers it is possible to use very long rods of more than 11 feet. In small, cluttered environments, the shorter the rod — less than 10 feet — the easier it will be to use. A versatile baseline is between 10 & 11 feet.

Line weight

• - #2: Light fishing in shallow water,
