Nash Dwarf Shrink Handle Carp Rods

Product Information

I went for the Dwarf 4.5 over the Scope and to be honest it’s stood me in well. It does feel cheap as it was cheap! I’ve got Scope fishing rods but couldn’t bring myself to pay the extra either as someone else said. I only fish up to about 70 yards and it handles that fine 👍 9ft 👍 Tip..... a lot of the breakages come from folks trying to pull line by hand with the reel in freespool mode with the hand pulling the line down by the reel... this is a no-no for any rod and WILL break the tips on them, also set your drag a little lighter.... just because they are short rods, they are not the bruiser that everyone thinks they are... take it easy and play your fish carefully... they'll last for years... In fact, I have heard other brands of telescopic rods referred to as 'Scope style rods', affirmation, if it were ever needed, that Nash Scopes have made a lasting impression on the carp fishing industry! Do they do a 9ft Sonik 4.5lb? I had thought they did but can only see them listing 10ft 4.5lb rods. They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Well, that must be the case for the Nash Scope Rods, as they have been imitated by most of the leading rod brands in the UK in some form or another! It's not necessarily a bad thing, though, as there is now a lot more choice for you, the carp angler.

caption id="attachment_743" align="aligncenter" width="300"] This fish was not caught from a no fishing zone..... maybe.[/caption] Does anyone have first hand experience with any 9ft spod rods that they’d recommend (or warn against)? A ok maybe ill aviod dwarf then haha. Shame the scopes are so so much money but the tt ones do look good. And I havnt heard one bad thing about them and I get the same tc I'm used too Sonik have done the own which are same lenght as the scopes so should fit in the quiver the same with reel pouches and there only about 80 quid each. Ultra low profile Japanese shrink grips on the slim high performance Dwarf blanks with 1K finish for understated style. I think it’s fair to say that we shook the angling world to the core last autumn with the launch of Scope - a fresh thinking new way of looking at rods and transportation. We believe absolutely in Scope for the future and so it is important to us to extend this innovative development throughout our brand portfolio; including our entry level carp brand H-Gun. Thus the exciting launch of Dwarf this month. Whether you are urban carping, walking the banks of an inland sea, or off to foreign shores – Dwarf is cool”.One of the two are ridiculously dear 😂 😂. I'll be honest mate, I wouldn't wanna cast a 4oz lead or a big dead bait at distance on my dwarfs. I can hear the snap from here lol. Great bit of kit but I wouldn't trust them casting big weight at distance. I may be wrong but I really feel the tc label on these rods is a bit over zealous. I've put my 3.5 ten feet against a 2.75 fox rod and the fox rod felt stiffer at .75 less tc. Don't get me wrong I love my dwarfs. I have two sets. One 1.75 I use for all manner of fishing. And the 3.5s I use for carping, sometimes when it's suited to them. Both 10 feet. But for me they suit small water fishing or margin area fishing. Days when I'm on the roam fishing light they are the perfect kit. Even fighting the fish they feel a little edgey at times. Their action doesn't seem forgiving. But they have their use. @B.C. got rid of his cause he didn't like their action and said it felt dangerous playing the fish For those who have the dwarf spod already - what reel have you paired it with? Was thinking of the Sonik Vader Spod reel, also nice and cheap. Owdo chaps... FYI the difference between Scope and Dwarf's are less resin in the Scope rods (lighter but slightly more brittle) and the rod furniture... (lighter rings and fixtures) I have the Dwarf 2's as my sole carbon setup now (9' 2.75lb ) as for worrying about playing fish on them... stress not, they'll do what you ask of em... I had a 20' on mine in Sept... it never felt stressed.... don't put Dwarf rods in Scope skins... they don't fit however Scope rods in Dwarf skins do... it's down to the reel position on the rods... the Scope has a slightly longer handle For optimal line control during retrieval, the Dwarf Shrink Rod includes reverse mounted Minima ringing with anti-frap tip guides. This design prevents line wrap and tangles, allowing you to focus on landing your catch rather than dealing with frustrating line issues.

Youngsters can jump on their bikes and cycle effortlessly through the town to the canal or hop on the train to the city carp pool. Anyone tried putting the dwarf spod rod in a scope rod bag? Have head they won’t fit (although guess that’s with the reel attached)? Guess can always just get a single dwarf rod skin. Good to know you can get the dwarf in the scope bag upside down - sounds like it could be the way to go. In addition Dwarf rods challenge traditional thinking of how long a rod should be – why do you need a cumbersome 12ft carp rod when a Dwarf will cast over 150yards, be more accurate at casting to that gap in the reeds on the far margin, whilst playing and landing carp is an effortless pleasure. The Nash Dwarf Shrink Fishing Rod range offers a variety of lengths and test curves to suit any angling situation. The 6ft models come with 2lb and 3lb test curves, making them perfect for tight spaces such as boat fishing. For more mainstream big fish applications, the 9ft and 10ft versions are available with 3.25lb and 3.5lb test curves, giving you the power to handle the largest carp and heaviest leads. Additionally, the 10ft model also offers a 3lb test curve option.Since Nash introduced the Scope range to the angling world some years ago now, there has been a big increase in the use of rods that telescope into themselves. This type of rod is perfect for travelling or for those who prefer to travel light. They are also a great addition to your arsenal of carp rods. Let's take a look at some of the very best telescopic rods that money can buy! Was thinking of the Sonik Xtractor Spod or Nash Dwarf Spod (wasn’t sure there was any sense paying the extra for the Scope Spod). No idea if there are any issues with compatibility with the scope rod bags. I believe the handles on the scopes are longer therefor the reel seat in a different spot so what you say makes sense. I have the new dwarf 9ft spod rod. I think its spot on and does the job for that type of short-medium range fishing. With a Dwarf Cork Fishing Rod, the angling world is your oyster. Regardless of your preferred angling style or fishing venue, there's a Dwarf Cork Rod that's tailor-made for you.
