They used to sell everlasting bait, boilies that never broke down and smelt of soap, i remember watching punters lapping the stuff up at the old show's.

They must've kept a few magazines afloat with the amount of advertising they did.
They were in every mag.

You have to remember that Nash pretty much changes all their range of gear year on year so 5 years down the line you can rule out getting any spares or parts for Nash reels where as Daiwa and Shimano usually hold parts and provide service centres for their products. Definitely something to consider before investing.
I dont know what Nash reel you are looking at but if it is one for Scopes dont rule out the Daiwa ss2600. Cracking reels.

Oh that's good Lol so do shimano. And although imho shim made the best every reel to XT10,000 ****ed up by producing crap ever since.
Daiwa love them or hate them produce spares for 2 decades of reels and imho the Tournies 6K and Original ISO are at the pinnacle of all time greatest reels that are still supported and no doubt will be in ten years time.
Having said that Fox Reels where crap and it's taken them 10 years to produce something decent Nash does produce superb gear you just have to know what to look for.
My Canvas the Ovals Profiles Extremes and Now Hogs are superb.

Shimano and Daiwa only keep spares for a certain amount of time after they have officially finished the production of that particular model/range. I've got a feeling it's something like 5 years

Shimano, aside from any brand issues. Shimano are a world renowned manufacturer of gears and moving engineered parts,as mentioned it is a specialist bit of kit.

I rate Nash gear highly! I have done for many many years but for reels you'd be silly not to go for shimano out the two

Sorry I just don't get it when people say they rate Nash gear highly overpriced poor quality kit I remember when Nash tackle first started in 1985 it was better then

Each to their own mate. I understand many people say the same as you, me personally have never had problems with any of the Nash gear I have used.. I had some banksticks that rusted up after a couple weeks use but other then that I can't complain to be honest

There is no debate to be had here. Shimano.

I'm the same, had an original titan for years, first indulgence bedchair, oval brolly, banksticks, and more never any issue.

Heard the original Titan had issues and leaked, was pleased I was able to get a last generation canvas and profile although the profile wasn't the right size for it really and cause it to die after ten years of service.
Had to have the zips replaced on my canvas and they really need doing again but then it's 24 years old. still better than anything else I've seen since and I never understood the weight issue. I've mesowaxed it twice during that time and I've been out in torrential weathers.

100yards can be hit with most rods nowadays 2.75 tc 12ft or 3lbtc should do the job fairly easily .
10-12lb mono 2.5 -3oz lead and a bit of practice and you'll be there in no time.
Lots of good vids on YouTube about this as well.
Reels wise , without getting in to it too much, I've tried others in the past but always gone back to daiwa or Shimano.
Even their budget reels are better than others it seems. Of course it does depend on how often you use them. Cheaper reels will seem to last if you only do a few sessions a year, but once you start racking up the hours and constant use, quality always shines through.
