Hi All,
I'm sure I read somewhere that Nash are set to release a new range of Scope rods at some point this year... does anyone know if that's true?

I asked a question which you've not answered... I've had Scope Rods (probably 10 years ago now) so know all about them thanks.
I'm asking if new one's are coming out.

Never had any problems with mine. Landed carp and cats up to 60lb. Cast well and fit nicely crossways in my car. Cant fault them apart from the cost is a little high.

I believe there are new models on the way, saw a comment somewhere on Instagram saying due out in the summer.
I have used Scopes, (10ft, 3lb) for a good few years on smaller waters and never had any issues at all, great rods IMO. Having said that, I am fishing a water at the moment ideally suited to Scopes but with some really thick weed issues and I lost a couple of weeded fish last year that I am confident I could have extracted with a beefier or 12ft rod.
I did toy with the idea of standard 2-piece 10ft rods but like the flexibility of the Scope pack-down size so looking at options for a 10ft 3.5 blank.......the Chiltern Cutsom Compacts appear to tick every box!

nash don't make rods?
Amorphous, Infininity LD & Pursuits were all Kevin Nash designs weren't they? All the precursors for a lot of modern-day carp rods & regarded as some of the best rods ever.
I don't own Scopes but have a few friends that own them & they absolutely love em. Whilst I heard a few things about build quality of the earlier Scopes around ringing, I was under the impression they were the benchmark for any of the shorter action rods that everyone else puts out now?

Is £140 - £180 really that ridiculous for a rod these days? I would say that just sits them in the mid range? Even Trakker, a tent company, has a set of £250 rods out now.
I've had a couple of sets of scopes and they are decent rods for retractables, can't say I ever felt ripped off by the price and they hold their value pretty well if you move them on.
I've also had the ESP Quick Draw. A nice enough blank but the rings wore using braid and the handles were short so took a bit of getting used to casting. For me that meant the scopes were worth an extra £50 or so.
Funny some people still get so bent out of shape by Kevin Nash.
