I quite like them, I always tended to avoid Nash tackle, apart from the fang twister hooks. The rings being reversed are apparently to help stop tangles on the cast. Can’t say I’ve noticed any difference in using them. The blanks are nice though and enjoyable playing fish on. Sonik have...

Hi Chris, I’ve used the Nash scopes in both the 10ft 2 1/4lb test and the 10ft 1 3/4. I’ve never had any issues with either of them. They are only really used when I’m trying to nick a few hours somewhere on short family breaks as they fit in the car boot without dropping the seats. They are...

I’m pretty sure that was Ian Tuckers brand.

The fella Tom from Cotswold is a chancer, can’t say it enough. If this saves one person having the aggravation I had, use someone who is appreciative of the business. Can’t praise Darran from Resilure enough, really professional approach, and great communication. Apologies for the rant, hope...

Hi, In my personal experience they are a shambles of a company. I had to wait almost 14 months for a pair of rods. Continuous lies, mixed with no reply’s to calls or messages/emails. Avoid this lot like the plague.

I’ll definitely check out the newer specimen range, looks like it’ll be decent for some tenching as well. Hopefully, there will be a few different length versions at the big one fishing show to look over. My ultra snapped on the strike whilst trotting for small stuff. I can’t recall doing...

Hi, appreciate the advice. I’d more than likely go for the FS rod if I went down the custom route, I’ve got a few of the es carp rods and they must be going on 25 years old now, and they’re still going strong. I’ll definitely take a look at the specimen acolyte, I’ve got an ultra and a plus...

Thanks Kevin. That’s a fair comment, I’ve got a few various custom Harrison rods for carp and specialist style fishing and really enjoy using them. I’ve never really thought about one of their float rods before in all honesty. I’ll take a look. I think Daiwa got a bite off me with their sales...

Thanks for the reply, I do agree, it’s a big outlay to go off recommendations alone. That said I’ve made a few purchases off recommendations and have been pleased with the outcome. Ideally I wanted to build a picture to first weigh up whether or not it’s worth the cost / travel to a specialist...

Thank you for the reply John. The cost is factor is putting me off. However, I’d happily save for it, off the back of good reports from any users. It also seems hard to find these top end rods stocked at a tackle shop, to have a waggle in person, so to speak. I do wonder why it’s priced so...

Hi, Hope you’re all well, I’m a long time watcher of the site and thought it’s about time I posted. I’m after some opinions on what any owners think of the 14ft Daiwa Air z ags float rod.(the latter alps reel seat version). It’s a lot of dough. Are they worth it and would it be suitable for...
