Nash Scope OPS Dark Cork Carp Rods New 2025

Nash Scope OPS Dark Cork Rods – New for 2025

The classic feel of cork, the compact power of Scope. The new 2025 Nash Scope OPS Dark Cork Carp Rods bring timeless looks together with modern performance – a rod that doesn’t just fish well, but feels right in the hand from the moment you pick it up.

Built on the same proven 24-tonne low resin carbon blanks as the rest of the Scope family, these rods feature a helical strengthening weave for reduced blank twist, faster tip recovery, and better casting accuracy. Whether you're punching leads out to the horizon or working tight margin spots, these rods give you full confidence under pressure.

What sets these apart is the darkened AAA-grade cork handle – giving a traditional look with a subtle modern edge. It’s warm in the hand, reliable in wet conditions, and built to stand up to years of hard use. For those who appreciate old-school class but demand up-to-date performance, this is the perfect blend.

All models come equipped with lightweight Seaguide TDG Minima rings for smooth casting, but if you're fishing tough snaggy waters or using heavy braid and leaders, you’ll want to check out the 3.5lb Ceramic Guide (CG) versions in 9ft and 10ft. They’re designed to take the punishment and keep on going.

With test curves from 3lb to a hefty 4lb, and a compact pack-down thanks to the Scope’s double retractable butt design, these rods are ready for everything – from tight UK park lakes to big European reservoirs.

Rod Highlights:

• Classic AAA Dark Cork handle – refined, durable, and comfortable

• 24T low resin carbon blank with anti-twist helical weave

• Available in 6ft, 9ft, and 10ft lengths – ideal for tight swims and travel
