Are Nash Scope Rods worth the Money? Long-Term Tackle Review

Are Nash Scope rods worth the money? Most carp anglers are familiar with the relatively new demand for shorter rods with retractable butt sections, but with so much choice it's a minefield as to which one(s) are best suited to you. CARPology's Joe Wooltorton has been using the Scope rods from Nash Tackle for over 2 years now, and in that time they've gone from being his 'occasional' rods to his go-to rods. Here's what he likes and dislikes about the Scope rods...

Had my 3.5, 9’ scopes for years and I think they are the best in the range. Paired with Shimano medium big baitrunners! Bought them as stalking/small venue rods and wont be getting rid of them any time soon!

Good review. I have 10ft 3.5 Nash black ops and absolutely love them. 👍

[davidatkin]

Absolutely love my Scope rods. As an All-round angler the 10ft 2.25 corks are amazingly versatile tools and get loads of use, so definitely worth the money.

I just bought 2 scopes cork, 2.25lb, 9ft. I cant wait to try them out. 🎣

10ft 3.5tc are bloody awesome for solid bag work. Had fish in uk to 45lb and they coped fine. I use with Cast’izms which I personally imho think are the best reel to partner with. Rarely use my 12ft now.

I have a 6ft black ops paired with 4000 Gt reel, looks so sleek and stealthy. I also have a 6ft cork dwarf paired with daiwa whisker ss1600, went for the classy look.
Absolutely love both of them. Never afraid of having big fish on them

I had the scope 9ft 3lb for years, great rods, i catch also a 60kg wels in free water with it, now i've change them for the black ops 10ft 3lb, but i miss a lil bit the 9ft, they were more fun with small fish, and they can handle any carp, also in rivers.

Iv recently bought 2 ×10 foot 3lbs and I absolutely love them, they look fantastic and are extremely well balanced, things of beauty 😀 ❤😂

Im on my second set, I stepped up the second time around to 3.5 tc They are now my go to rods
I prefer the mat carbon, as it keeps so well

I've got Nash dwarft 6ft rods which are basically the same thing and they've been amazing so far so good for stalking and even mainstream carp fishing

Just bought my first nash rod. Its the shrink wrap 10ft 3lb... can't wait! Carp on!

Great video, I’m a huge Scope fan and moved over to the 3lb scopes initially - I had 2 rods and the 4.5lb Spod rod version all in 10ft which I could use if I wanted to go catfishing aswell. I recently upgraded to the Black Ops 3.5lb versions and have to say they are unbeatable, the 50mm butt rings, Alps seat and the added T/C gives me so much more confidence whilst not being too stiff, I pair mine with Daiwa Tournament BE reels and it’s so balanced. 🙌

Had my scopes 3 years never let me down well worth the money by look of it joe daffy duck gonna buy a set he & me enjoyed ur review 🦆👨‍💼🎣👊👊

[PBRStreetGang]

My son has the 9ft dwarf rod, it casts incredible well. Those reels are great too, I use them with 12ft Basia rods and the light weight ballances up nicely

[lloydjeffery]

Great rods been using mine for over 3 years now & my 12' hi s are now retired to the loft, cant fault them in any way. Would recommend to anyone.

[machomanOOOOHYEEEAH]

I love my SCOPES 9ft 3.25lb rods and 9ft 4.5lb for marker and sharking.

[philheaton]

I'm looking at the 10ft rod range, as my club waters don't requires range fishing. Most of my fishing involves solid bags. I know the scopes are expensive, but are they that much better than the dwarfs? Also for my type of fishing, what TC would you recommend? Lost of 20+ carp in my waters, plus cats. I'm thinking 3.5

[martinmitchell]

Out of my price bracket, bought 6 Nash Dwarf 10ft and have to say Absolutely brilliant. The wife finds them easier to use than 12ft.

[colintennant]

I've put xtc 14000s on my 10ft 3.5 and there balanced wicked as the xtc14000 are actually smaller and lighter than diawa crosscast 5000 granted the spool is a bit wider but that doesn't half help the casting distance 25 wraps with .35 and your right the rods are mega accurate but they are a smaller venue rod wouldn't want to be doing 25 wraps with them all the time as its a lot easier with 12 or 13ft rods but I would be lost without them had some really good times using them

[stevendavies]

You should get some 9ft 2.75lb dwarfs mate for the go to, keep in the boot as they will fit sideways 👌
