5 Things To Know
- Tailor-made for anglers who stalk carp, where its short length removes the awkwardness longer rods bring.
- Both 9ft and 10ft lengths come in 3lb or 3.5lb, with the heavier curve holding its own on bigger fish.
- Despite the short length, the high-modulus blank with 50mm eyes and a 16mm anti-frap tip casts surprisingly well.
- Packing down is effortless thanks to the two-piece design with a retractable butt, ideal for mobile roving sessions.
- It is featured in our best retractable carp rods guide.
Product Information
The Nash Scope Black Ops is a premium short-rod carp model aimed at stalking carp and anglers who favour shorter rods. It is available in 9ft and 10ft lengths with 3lb and 3.5lb test curves; the traditional 12ft and 13ft lengths are not made.
It is a two-piece rod with a retractable butt section for easy packing.
The blank uses high-modulus carbon (24 and 30-tonne) with a cross warp and 1k carbon weave for an ultra-strong yet light rod with a distinctive matte all-black finish.
Fittings include an ALPS ARD matt-black reel seat with twin locking collars, 50mm Pacific Bay Minima guides with a 16mm anti-frap tip, and a unique black paracord butt grip.
