***NASH***SCOPE Sawn-off review | mobile carping 

Simon Huss great little rods, love mine 👌🏼

+Komplete Carp I use them on water where i know I'm only needing to fish up to 50 yards max. I have fished further than this but only on occasions. It's more the enjoyment from using a short rod, it's so much more fun! I've caught fish up to mid 20's so far! I wouldn't like to advise you, it's all down to the style, range and tactics you use on these park lakes...only you know what is required from your own fishing! I've been carping for 20+ years now and it's put another level of enjoyment into my fishing, to top that it's also so much easier to stay mobile - which is my approach! They also double up as awesome lure/jig rods!!!!!!

I use the Prologic Element 6000 baitrunners on my 10ft rods now, they are perfect for smaller venues.

MJAngling I've not had any issues with the cork. I do look after my kit though - always keep them in the rod bags. If they get wet I open up the rod bag and air them out so the cork doesn't soak up the water - think it's down to how Much you look after your kit as to how long it lasts. The only issue with the scope rods is that grit can get caught in the butt section - which if not wiped down can scratch the blank!

Kevin Bayliss I don't like to advised other what to use, it should be entirely your own choice. I have found the rods to be a joy to play fish on, it puts the 'fun' back into fishing. There's a huge 'fad' with big rods and reels - the sawn off steps away from this and puts the fun back into the sport. If you need to fish at range, then these are not the rod for you. They are designed for staying mobile and moving to fish, not casting at them! In the right conditions with balanced line, then I have hit 70yd. I have used leads up to 5oz when fishing short range. Casting I have only had to use a 3oz Max so far - the rod handles these easy!! I can't comment on the black ops range as I don't use them, but they are a stepped up version on the original. Hope this helps, anymore questions- ask away!!

syms85 no bigger than a 5000 size 👍🏼

Justin Steel not used the black ops but I’m sure you’ll love them!! I love my cork sawn-offs, favourite rods!!!

How have you found them?

Union Pacific tbh. Had a few breakages with these rods. Tip sections are not great. Look the part but not reliable enough for me. Bought some sonik xtractors in same size and tc and theyve been bombproof. Had river carp to 27lb

Justin Steel Glad they’ve been helpful. I’ve had fish up to upper 20’s on the sawn offs. The 3lb sawn-offs are powerful little rods, easily tame most carp if fishing under 50yds. Don’t worry about the size of the fish, if the tackles all balanced then you’ll have no problems. Tight Lines 🎣

The Fishing Bloggers as always a decent reply. Thanks mate appreciate the advice. Nice to see a guy doing true reviews in real situations not like the sellouts around these days. I also use the Korum multi mat as you mentioned cheers mate fish safe buddy

Justin Steel I try to be as open as possible. Happy to help! Love the multi mat for short sessions, just sling it all inside and off you go!

Andy H I’m not sure to be honest, I’ve not used the 2lb sawn off. The 3lb sawn off it’s a powerful little rod, I’ve cast solid bags with 4oz leads inside to 60yd. The 3lb is definitely the best all round option

The Fishing Bloggers thanks again mate I appreciate it. Still can’t decide but I’ll get there in the end🤘🏻

I will do a review on them soon, have a few others at the editing stage first!

Sean Temmerman 4000. That’s probably the biggest I would recommend, be unbalanced otherwise

They are great, I only have 1 now which I use as a stalking rod and keep in the van for any opportunity. Had fish up to Upper twenties, still in good condition. Lovely little rods!

+Michael Smith Hi mate, Thanks for watching the video. I believe you mean you'll be using it for ledgering? I own three of the sawn-off scopes in 3lb test curve. I use them as a multiple rod setup while carping (in a normal carping situation - with alarms) and I use them for stalking if I need too. I have also used them as lure rods when piking as the short length works well with jig-baits and shads. I wouldn't recommend using the 3lb tc rod's for ledgering as they would not have the tip sensitivity needed for the job, but the 2lb tc rods might work well for this....this is only speculatively speaking though as I have not used the 2lb tc version (yet). Yes I do still use these rod's, all the time on small venues.....I love them as they add more fun to my fishing!!! Hope this answers your question! Tight Lines.

+Effort Equals Success TV no problem mate keep up the good work,thanks for letting me know👍🏻

Declen Gray awesome mate👍🏼 I've been looking at a set of 10ft 1.75lb for the same! Currently have 3x 12ft drennan specimen rods but they seem too long and bulky now that I've used the scope range for so long!

Same problem I had bud couldn't do without my scopes now

Declen Gray it's strange using a 12ft rod after using the scopes for so long, doesn't feel right!! lol

Fishing on the wall max range is about 70yd. I use a range of leads depending on the venue and the situation. Biggest lead I have used on them is a 4oz

THX And this is change a bit when you use sawn off black ops?

Fishing on the wall I don’t have the Black Ops

ok thx

VvvillX I’m still yet to catch a 30 on them sadly. Had a few upper 20s while stalking... they’ve got plenty of extra power for much bigger fish

Thanks for your reply, there's not many videos out there of people catching big fish on these perhaps I'll do some more research 👊🏻

VvvillX I’m sure the Nash team have had plenty 🎣

I use Shimano Exage 4000 size reels, I would suggest something similar that fits your price range. I wouldn't go bigger than 4000, it will feel too bulky......

Hi, I'm making my way through the range! I'll have a review up soon👍🏼

+effortequalssuccess wicked stuff I fish on pretty big lakes so being mobile is important. if you don't mind what is your name and are you on facebook

+Richard Kinch I've got a page on FB - facebook.com/Effort-Equals-Success-436877723129889/

Stephen Young you need to buy the ‘big pit’ rods sleeves, they will fit then 👍🏼

@@TheFishingBloggers i dont think the sawn off skins have a big pit version

Stephen Young You’re right mate. Sorry, I’ve had an influx of questions this morning and I’m confusing myself. The sawn-offs are designed to be compact with small reels. I have Shimano Exage 4000 on mine, which are the perfect size. Anything bigger than a medium bait runner and it won’t fit in the rod sleeves.

@@TheFishingBloggers Thanks. A pity Nash didnt think much on that front.

Hi, I loosen the drag on the reel so when I get a bite it allows the fish to take line, no different to when playing a fish with the drag. If night fishing I use a bite alarm which emits a sound which alerts me to a bite. When fishing shorter sessions, I lay the rods in the ground and place a stone on the spool for a visual indicator...it flys off when a bite occurs.

They have been designed for use as a fishing rod, not just a stalker rod. They have a lot of power in the butt section, I've put a 3oz lead 70 yards! The tip is forgiving under the rod tip, but stiffer than other short rods I've used...depends on situation u will be fishing, they also do a 2lbTC...hope this helps.

+effortequalssuccess thank you for the reply, im gonna get the 2lb version as my dedicated stalking rod as I already use the 10ft scope rods 3lb and where I go fishing most often the swim that is best for stalking is best accessible through some trees and the 10ft rods are much to large and I have been using spinning rod and it is to light to cast a 2.5oz lead so I thought that an upgrade was in order thank you for the information.

+lewisHD123 I have 3x 10ft 3.5lb Scopes for bigger waters and 3x 3lb Swan offs for small lakes. Awesome rods to cover any situations!!

+effortequalssuccess would you recommend getting 2 or 3 of these a pose to just 1?

+lewisHD123 depends on your fishing. Most of 2015 I used my little Swan offs as I was fishing Small venues - max maybe 10acres. I have different setups to suite different venues I fish, allows me to be more mobile. I enjoy the mobile/hunting style of fishing, not the 'camper' type! It all leads down to if u think u would use a set regularly to make it worth the cost of buying them....I bought one to start with and found it so much fun to use that I wanted a set so I could use them in more situations!

Probably China like most stuff nowadays 😂

The Fishing Bloggers I live in Thailand and a lot of the Nash equipment looks very similar to the kit in our local tackle shop here only with a different name and price

Andy H still use them regularly

The Fishing Bloggers cheers for the reply. Just pulled the trigger on one based partly on your review so thanks for that. Keep up the good work.

Andy H love them, got a set of 3!

The Fishing Bloggers I’ll see how I get on with it before going for another two!! Thanks again dude

I didn't even notice I was doing that! Lol

+effortequalssuccess haha doen't matter
