Cotswold Pace Compacts vs Nash Scopes?
bluelabel replied to ktc123's topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment
Try these... same action as a 3.5lb Scope and Cotswold Pace... I honestly don't know why you need a 3.5lb rod... I catch nigh 30lb fish on a rod with 1.5lbs tc and it'll still chuck a bait 70 yards🤷♂️ Good luck though...

In a word, YES...👍 I have landed fish up to 27lb on cane rods with a test curve of approximately 1.5lb. A 2.5lb rod will be fine as long as you are not looking to spank it a huge distance

Had another meself today, had 3 now

Korum Opportunist Mat Bag, with a Korum fully loaded tackle box in the kit bag, along with alarms, sticks, catty, pva tube, bait tub (bait tub since replaced with a Korum EVA eva bait and tackle station), Chair, rod bag and I still have a hand free for gates etc... I travel fairly light these days... short trips for me nowadays, even reverting to the use of a trolley as my back is totally naffed Do yerselves a flavour and travel light... it do tickle me sideways when some bod with a barrow piled higher than the Shard say's... "Ya gotta stay mobile man"... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

He's one of my Angling influences, as well as Fred J Taylor,... both superb anglers... Try and have a read of Fred's "Favourite Swims" a cracking read...👍

The pin Short, the Abu long...👍😎

He was a truly innovative angler in his day and definitely the forefather of modern carping... Rest well Richard Walker..👍

They'll be fine... the Sharpe 9 footers are Salmon spinning rods, all I'd say is they are not meant to cast heavy leads, I keep my leads down to 1.5oz max for a chuck

I have 2×9'3" and 2×9'6" plus an 8 footer... all have handled 20's... the only time I struggled with one,was when I hooked a 40lb+ at Ashmead in 2018... just couldn't stop it ploughing through 2 weedbeds... lost it...😭 I retired 6 years ago, (ill health) get my state pension this year, got my name down for one of Leszeks Masterpieces but he's getting on a bit now
