Nash dont make reels, neither do Fox, Wychwood, JRC, etc. Never seen the point in spunking your cash on a brass plated product from a company with zero expertise in the field.
Daiwa and Shimano on the other hand....................

I've got a Nash Trax barrow and its slowly fallen apart and rusted. Have repaired it a few times myself to allow me to continue using it but it hasn't got long left before it joins the big barrow cloud in the sky

I'm led to believe that Fox reels are made by Okuma, hence why the EOS reels feel abit cheap and plastic.
I owned the Nash BP10's. Went to France for a week and the paint work went from matt black to a dark brown within a matter of days in the 30+ degree heat.
The thing is, when you watch the Nash videos, not a single member of their team uses their reels. That tells you all you need to know really.

They've also been responsible for tea light holders and a roll up pathway.
The ladybird book of Nash............
Once apon a time there was a man called Kevin. Kevin liked to catch fish, and Kevin was good at it. But there was a problem. Kevin lived in a land called Essex. A lot of the fishing tackle that Kevin had to use was utter *****. So one day Kevin decided to make his own tackle, which was better. Kevin decided to sell his new tackle to other carperists. He was happy, the people he sold to were happy, his wife wasn't happy when he called his business happy hookers. Soon Kevin had lots of money and a big house. But Kevin got dizzy with excitement and forgot the reason people liked his stuff was because it was very nice. So he got on an airplane and met with a lovely man from China who lied to Kevin and told him he could make exactly the same stuff cheaper. That boys and girls was bollox. One day Kevin realised that all his products were now a pile of dog turd, just like everyone else's. In fact nearly everything he sold fell apart and leaked. Kevin got very upset and promised to do better. And for a few years he tried very hard to be a good boy but then along came a lot of new people into Kevin's business. They made lots of nice videos. In some of them you'd be mistaken for thinking they might have taken a few stimulants to help out with the punishing schedules. However although they make good videos, they had rubbish ideas and made pony quality again. Oh dear boys and girls, Kevin didn't learn his lesson did he? What a silly boy.
The end.

Some of there gear is brilliant.
R3 alarms are brilliant and the s5 and s5rs for the money.
Nash's scope rucksack is well made and some good ideas ( older black model )
Scope rods have been a huge hit. Not used one but only heard good things

No he hasn't. But his ideas on bringing us the ss3000 back in early 90s with his then distance rods. The fantastic canvas overwrap was Brilliant and ofcourse the ovals and then the titans. But as said his quality control was poor and also he swopped models every year. The last 10 years or so have seen some very good bivvys from nash but reels er no. At best rebadged cheaper reels. Okuma reels are priced to sell however the company make some of the best tooling around used by both shimano and diawa.

classic. Also very true. I had an original Titan that I only recently sold and it was still going strong but I wouldn't touch any of their recent gear with a barge pole.

I have an idea...
Lets spend years behind the scenes developing a faultless product (say bivvy) and then put it to market for say £600.
It's the bollox, lightweight, versatile, modular, interchangeable etc, you get the idea...
It's that good you wont have to buy one for another 10 years.....
No sustainable profit in that is there.
Nah fook that. Sell you a cheaper 10th to make product 2/3rds the price that you have to replace every other year all cause of marketing and associated product kudos!!🙄🙄😮😮👏👏
This time next year we will be millionaires Rodney..!!
The void this has created is that the informed 'buy once keep long time' audience has been ridden roughshod over by long established companies who have used previous trading reputation (aqua / nash etc)and have systematically delivered substandard products to match the cost vs product portfolio. .
In any other business, you would not be trading after it.. increased cost for inferior products..just goes to show how powerful marketing is..😮😮

Got to agree I love my r3s I sold my delkim to buy them but got to be honest I'm tempted by the new delks.
Have to admit though I wouldnt buy a nash reel shimano for me

Why anyone would buy something other than Daiwa or Shimano is beyond me... Shimano all the way for me...
