Sage ESN and Thomas & Thomas make beautiful flyrods , that said I also fished the older Grey's 10ft euro rods , I liked them also, and have heard nothing but good stuff about the Cabela's Czech nymphing today, Cortland should be good to . I've heard the Echo euro model is heavy so I'm not sure that would work out all that great .
Depending on the size of the fish your mostly going after , and how much you wanna spend , that's up to you . But the 10ft and 11ft rods are definitely a difference maker when it comes to nymphing .

I use an older Grey's rod, 10' 4wt streamflex. Love that thing! I think they still make them but I can only find a UK based website for Grey's now.

I love Sage and it looks like their 10' 3wt Pulse fits the bill for a good nymph rod also. It really depends what you want to spend, most manufacturers make something along the lines of a nymphing specific rod these days. I personally am a fan of the 4wt 10' rods but I know a lot of people love 3wts as well. I think the 4wt is a bit more versatile and has some extra backbone.

I also totally forgot that Sage has their ESN series rods which are specifically designed as euro nymphing rods. Although I will never fish one because they are $900!!! :o

I had a Sage ESN 10-6/3wt in my hand at Tight Lines Sage casting clinic last week. Super light, well balanced. But $900 to flip a sighter 25 feet -- C'mon!
