adh-fishing Test: Guideline Embrace Nymph Kit – an easy entry into Euro nymphing
Embrace The World Of Fly Fishing - Discover the world of fly fishing. Under this motto, Guideline presents a series of fly fishing sets that cover a wide range of modern fly fishing. From finesse fishing for trout to challenging hard-fighting predators in fresh or salt water to two-handed casting on salmon rivers, the Embrace kits offer the perfect solution for both beginners and budget-conscious fly fishermen looking for high-quality equipment. And in our new video on the Embrace series, we have taken a closer look at the Nymph Kit.
The new nymph fishing kit from Guideline
The Guideline Embrace Euro Nymph Kit 10'6" #3 is a powerful, yet attractively priced complete kit for modern nymph fishing. The balanced combination of finely tuned 24/30T carbon blank, high-quality components and well thought-out setup makes it ideal for beginners looking for a reliable introduction to Euro Nymphing, but equally attractive for experienced fly fishermen who want an efficient second or travelling set.
The fly rod in a kit
With a length of 10'6", the carbon blank offers excellent reach without sacrificing response or control. The #3 class has established itself as the universal standard in Euro nymphing and works in both small streams and larger rivers. Thanks to the mid/tip flex and medium retrieve speed, the set is extremely comfortable and forgiving to fish, ideal for precise drifts and sensitive bite detection. Although not designed for classic WF casting, the rod still enables controlled casts with a suitable, balanced line.
- 24/30T carbon blank - with ingenious action for nymph fishing
- Class #3 - ideal for all fish sizes
- Length 10.6ft - the perfect length for small and large rivers
The fly reel in the kit
The set includes the NOVA 46 fly reel, made from 100 % recycled material and perfectly matched to the balance of the rod. Its full-frame construction reliably prevents thin nymph lines from slipping between the spool and frame. Also included are 50 metres of bright yellow 0.18 mm monofilament nymph line and matching backing, all ready for immediate use.
- Nova 46 fly reel - the perfect size
- 100% recycled - more sustainable than ever before
- Full frame - ideal for thin Euro nymph lines
Further features of the Embrace Kit Nymph
Further well thought-out details increase the practicality: a down-locking reel seat for optimum balance, a finely polished cork handle, a strip guide positioned close to the handle for maximum drift control as well as lightweight single-leg guides and a snake guide in the tip for line-friendly, trouble-free fishing. The transport-friendly rod tube also has an integrated compartment for the mounted reel.
- Down-locking reel seat - for perfect weight distribution

In the end, one feeling remains above all: the Embrace Euronymph Kit is really fun.

The reel, rod and reel seat mesh perfectly with each other, allowing you to concentrate fully on the essentials: the fishing itself. This is exactly what makes this set so strong - it instils you with confidence and fun on the water.
