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

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

Hi Joe definitely worth it I love mine .I've got the 3.5 TC in ten foot they seem a bit softer than the nine foot.Had to have the scope reels aswell lol.Best carp channel by far btw .

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 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!

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

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

Great review 👍🏼👍🏼

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

Had my 9ft cork handle scopes for years & are bloody awesome 👍

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 😀 ❤😂

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 🦆👨‍💼🎣👊👊

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.

Love my scopes ,my Missis got me the new Aqua atoms rods for Xmas haven’t used them yet they look the business please do a review on these if you can , thanks great review as usual

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.

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.

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

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.

I agree with the 3lb tc, that’s what I have and they seem quite stiff, any firmer and I can only assume they would be savage

I got the 10ft 3.5lb with shimano 5500 ci4 great combo 👍

9ft black ops here. Brilliant rods.

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

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

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

I own the old model of black opps 9 ft 3,5 with carbon reel seats. Good quality blanks, rings. Like you said a litle on the stiffer side, but the reelseat its crab. Search almost 1 year for a reel to fit in there, lockdown of the reelseat katastrophy, the reelseat cant be locked enough that the reel is rock solid in there and it looses constantly. Also on one rod the reelseat rotates 4 360 degreece with a reel in it - actually cheap to fiks, if you find a rod builder that doo this, but at this pricepoint, you dont think that this can happen. But i love them. In terms of casting accuraty - i cast same bad with them as with other rods that i own. Not the fault of the rods!!!🤪 But castingdistances with pva bags - small max 40 - 50 meters and with a leed around i think 60-70 meters max - on a good day. So for me they are practical and the most components are very good quality. I have them, for i think 5 years and they still look brand new. - after i clean them. Wud i buy them again? Im not shure, but perhaps yes with the new reelseat from the "new" model on them. Are they worth the monay - not shure. At that time that i bouth them they were ( oneley 3 models, all from Nash. Shrink and abreviated and black opps) but in 2022 im not shure about this - think they are a litle overpriced and other builders reach their level.

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

Can you do a review on the black ops 9ft?

Better value are the dawrfs, or the diawa ext which tbh have a better length handle than Nash, especially if you are wanting a second set up for smaller waters.

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

I have the scopes in 10ft 3.5 tc cork handle had them 3/4 years and they have done me good same on the reel handle abit of chipping away , other than that they are worth the money .

What Baitrunner Reel would u recommend for the Nash Dwarf 9ft

High i use 10ft Nash scopes with gt6000 reals n fox exocet line in 23lb trans kaki I've been looking at sonik subsonik camo line wounded if you have used it and any feedback also what your goto lin lb rate

I bought 9ft 3.25. if I was to buy again I would go 10ft. Great rods though 🎣

I have them for 4 years now and they do fine 👍

Love my scopes ❤️

nice one

100% worth it I say

I can cast my 9ft sonik Xtractors over 110 yards with .35mm line. I see no need to fish longer rods in my standard cast angling on our small club venues. If i had a long cast setup on these rods with some Ultegras and a braided mainline i can see myself casting those rods to a 140 yards

If you was fishing for tench & carp in very weed lake would you go 6ft 9ft 10ft 2lb ..2.25lb..2.75lb

Very good rods, the MK2 is out now. I agree the 3.5lb tc and above are a bit too rigid for the length of the rods. The 3.0lb tc is spot on for the 10ft rods, which can cast up to 90yds which is plenty for uk waters. Personally I wouldn’t bother with the Nash 9ft range of rods for this reason. A foot shorter in length is not going to make a blind bit of difference to your fishing imo, and you can’t cast as far.

I have two 10ft 3.5lb and one 10ft 3lb. In case you don't need long distances, 3lb is a good way to go. Sure, there are many other possibilities now, but Nash was first and will stay first. :)

Just bought a set of these, and one of the 3 seems to extend around 10/15mm longer than the others which feel really stiff… any ideas ?

The duck stealing the show 🤣

I love my scope rods. 👌🏻

I'd dearly love to have see the Black Ops tested. They look identical in diameter, rings all look the same as a normal Scope apart form the reel handle, and but end? I've even looked into the carbon they say they use, but nothing explains the price being so much. Test one please? I know you will be honest.

Bought the Sonik Xtractor 10' cork handle with the Shimano 5500 XTD ... Don't really get the big guns out these days 🎣🐟

Watching Alan Blair catch monsters in Thailand on them I’d say yes

Any thoughts on Dawia Crosscast EXT?

If you can afford it then why not if you can't then get sonik extractors

I use sonik xtractor. They are the best in my opinion :D

Not a fan at all mine scratched on the retractable bit with in 5 months and if ya pack then away damp thay go moldy love the 10ft side of things tho but prefer a standard 2 piece rod myself all about the 10ft fox horizon x3 💪

If you dig a trench you could get your rods even lower.

Don't they have issues with tips snapping??? Or is that myth

I hate all that Nash is....but good I love these nash scopes...10ft 3.5

I have been on the fence for a long time about buying a set of scope black ops . Currently use free spirit hi s bank creepers and really like them paired with the whisker 25a reels but the scopes would fit hidden away in the boot of my car with all my other gear that’s in there permanently.

To expensive

Scopes are poorly made

The build quality is shocking chinese built rubbish

There are much better rods then this .....for less

Worthless

No not worth it at all
