The Nash Scope OPS Olive Duplon Carp Rod is part of an all-new and extended range of premium Scope rods, built on 30 tonne high modulus carbon and low resin blanks with a 1k Toray external weave. This construction delivers exceptional, crisp recovery and impressive playing curves across all test curves. The Scope OPS blank design has been advanced using 45 degree multi directional fibre reinforcement to reduce twist and lateral distortion, focusing energy into precise recovery from heavy loading to improve both casting distances and accuracy. Responding to the specialised angling demands of different territories throughout Europe, both Scope OPS and Scope rod ranges now include CG models with Ceramic guide ringing. Ceramic guides offer the most durable ring lining available, preventing wear from repeated contact with the highest diameter braided mainlines or snag and shock leader knots. The Scope OPS range includes new 6ft 3.5lb models, the most powerful 6ft models yet for the very biggest carp. Additional 3.75lb and 4lb test curves in 9 and 10ft models offer the power for the heaviest leads in strong flows, boating extreme distances, or casting the largest PVA bags or Dot Spods. For anglers who have never made the step to shorter rods from questioning casting potential, Jermaine Hull has cast both 3.75 and 4lb Scope OPS models over 200 yards in testing, with these heaviest test curves also offering uncompromising performance for giant catfish, predator rods, or sea fishing. Handle options include abbreviated Black Duplon, Olive Duplon, and Dark Cork to suit all preferences. Additional CG (Ceramic Guide) models are available in 9 and 10ft 3.5lb. All models include the patented Butt Lock Peg connection that can be added to the butt cap, plus additional Scope branding along the sides of handles and at the rear above the butt cap. The rods feature carbon pipe reel seats with engraved Nash logos and a flattened thumb grip. Ringing specification (includes CG models): - 30mm butt ring to 10mm anti-frap tip ring on 6ft models - 40mm butt ring to 12mm anti-frap tip on 9ft and 10ft 3.25lb rods - 50mm butt ring to 12mm anti-frap tip rings on all 9ft and 10ft 3.5, 3.75 and 4lb models
