Just my two pennies, scopes are all I use these days, haven’t touched my 12fts in two seasons, I don’t dress like Alan Blair and definetly don’t wear nike trainers (Adidas in the summer) 🤣😂
dwarf 2lb 6 foot played a low twenty from a snaggy margin with no issues at all
10ft 3lb scopes are what I now use for most of my fishing, handled my current pb of 29lb again from snags with zero issues.
As for casting capabilities just google terry Edmonds scope rods and see what you can find I don’t remember the distance but seem to think it was 170 yds on a prototype rod
plenty of people don’t like nash gear......plenty of people do. Use them and make your own mind up 😉

I just always look a miserable [censored] mate 🤣
mas for bayeswater I have a 48 to sort out with bc at some point and no doubt I shall do some sessions over there, unfortunately fishing has taken a bit of a back seat recently with family and work commitments coming out on top but I’ll hopefully be back in the swing of things soon.
Mas for the looking freezing I was actually nice and warm despite having been soaked through to the skin......and my mate, p.b I think that says it all 😉

No worries mate, I’ll see if I can find my instructions when I get home and see if I can help you any further

Oh and something i forgot to add :- @greekskii you was right about the running rig mate! Far better indications and absolute screamers so thanks for opening my eyes to that one 👌🏻

I have nash bp 4 all black - played a fish of 23lb and ounces on a dwarf 6ft 2lb rod with ease.
I also have 2 nash bp 6 all black with 2 scope sawn off rods in 3lb that I’ve not had chance to use yet.
As for the the bp 4 never been a problem for me smooth, casts well, retrieves line well, looks nice.....does it’s job. So I guess everyone has had different experiences with them but like the shimmy daiwa debate.
Also have shimmy cats 5500’s and 14000’s and love them I’d recommend any of the reels I have dependant on people’s budgets

Not posted for a while but had some luck on Sunday when I took a mate out for a little social/ knowledge passing session. Had 4 fish up to 17.3lb and lost one that felt a lot better than any of the others (always the way) got absolutely drenched in between the car and the lake too which was delightful 😐! my friend had 3 up to 21lb 1oz ( his be pb) so he had a mega day which pleases me no end 😁 always good to help someone get their pb.
Top is a couple of my fish and then my mates be pb below

Hey I have the scales your talking about, I believe they save the last 3 or five weights automatically but not 100% sure, all I can advise is google and have a little read of the instructions. I have no use for the memory feature personally so haven’t really looked into that side of the scales
-
Nothing better than early doors from work and being paid to fish 👌🏻

Thanks brother appreciate it. Hopefully have a 20+ to post soon, not holding my breath tho think joining this site has jinxed me 😪. Everybody I fish with seems to be catching the mammy carp and I’m catching the babys 😅
No worries, just be happy you’re catching mate ask anyone on here my name should be master blanket 🤣😂🤣 I go lake watching not fishing

That last line is priceless mate! Congrats on the fish, well angled

Ex military Arctic bags! When I didn’t have my sleep system they are all I ever used (mainly camping) never had a cold night
A)no carp tax.
b)rated down to I believe -15
C)super warm

The weekend lay in. Anyone else struggle to stay asleep after 5.30-6.00am even when there’s the chance of a lay in? In my early 20s I could sleep till lunchtime. Now 3 kids later I’m waking up before them and drinking tea on my own downstairs.
No problem at all mate, I have been up about half hour, I’m 33 with two kids and two dogs......
i have been up and out by 04:15 every other day this week though..... so it’s only fair that I had a little catch up. 🤣😂🤣😂

Someone on here pointed me in the direction of barley malt extract....and then was far from surprised when I told him I’d caught my pb (at the time) on it. A beautiful common of 27lb 8oz if memory serves me correctly(the fish below) read into that what you will.......
someone mentioned julian cundif using scopex squid....I also use it and had my new pb on it 29lb common

Thanks for the recommendation. I will keep an eye out for one.
I did think about reselling it so that could be alright. I guess even if it costs me £5 to read it then it wouldn't be too bad at all. Thanks
Exactly, and also £5 is half of your original outlay budget so not bad at all.
