Didn't no if any body has used them or the Nash dwafts in 2lb ? Thanks guys was talking to a bailiff last week who was carrying a Nash Scope black ops and he said that it was the best stalking rod he had ever owned. he reccons that he pulled a 18lb + carp on it while patroling the lake, as an oportunists rod it wouldnt be beat was his words so take from that what you will.

androoooo Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 They are great stalking rods that can also be used for general fishing if required but wouldn't say they're a great all rounder having seen them in action, close up fishing is where they excel. The 9 foot ones whilst still being smaller are more suited to general fishing and doubling as a good stalker/small water rods. After using 9 foot scopes, I picked up some 9 foot rods but decided to pay a little extra and get the Dymag 9 foot rods, custom built on a Harrison blank. I'm happy with those in 90% of situations vs my 12 foot rods. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonny Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 2 lb TC will be fine for dealing with bigger fish fella. The high TC rods you see everywhere nowadays are more for increased casting range than dealing with fish. beanz and newmarket 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatt Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Cheers guys. Still a little unsure tho great fan of the shorter rods. I no the sawn offs black ops are meant for stalking but I was thinking of using for my Carp fishing I never fish at distance it's just the lake I fish has some big fish in 30's 40's so was hoping the 2lb would deal with that size of fish ?

James Q Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I use a Wychwood extricator one piece 6ft rod for stalking and for 35 quid is an amazing rod, lovely action and cork handle, team it up with my 2600 and its a great combo, well balanced.

androoooo Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I think he forgot to set the baitrunner and the roosting fish has pulled his rod in. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk beanz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanz Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I think he took up fishing after losing too many clubs at golf. dalthegooner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
