Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Stalkers and roving anglers. The 110cm packed size suits short-rod, travel-light fishing.
- Anglers fishing snaggy margins. The 207cm reach helps you net fish beyond reeds and lilies.
Maybe skip if
- Static session anglers who never move. A cheaper fixed-handle net does the same job from one swim.
- Anglers who hate fiddly mechanisms. A one-piece handle has nothing to clean or tighten.
The lowdown
Introducing the Nash Scope Landing Net
Nash's Scope landing net is a telescopic carbon net that reaches a full 207cm but collapses to 110cm, matching the Scope 9ft rods, with 44in arms and a twist-lock handle for stalkers and roving anglers.
- Telescopic handle: 207cm (6ft 10in) extended, 110cm (44in) packed

- Japanese shrink grips and a micro-engineered spreader block
Quick verdict
A Proper-Sized Net in a Stalker's Package
Most compact nets make you choose between reach and packed size. Nash's answer is a twist-lock telescopic carbon pole that goes from 110cm up to a full 207cm, so you can land fish over marginal snags yet carry the whole net in a short bundle.
The arms are 44in rather than the usual 42in, giving a bit more mouth for big fish, and they pack to the same length as the handle so everything straps together neatly.

High-tensile carbon, shrink grips and a micro-engineered spreader block.
207cm reach and 44in arms handle snaggy margins and big fish.
Extra reach helps land fish you'd otherwise struggle to net.
Twist-lock and Velcro strap keep it tidy between swims.
Pricier than a fixed net; worth it if you move a lot.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Nash Scope Landing Net
Right then, landing nets. They're not the most exciting bit of kit, but get one wrong and you'll know about it the moment a big carp rolls just out of reach in front of the reeds. The Nash Scope Landing Net is Nash's attempt to fix the old problem of compact nets: you usually have to choose between a net that packs small and one that reaches far enough to be useful. The Scope tries to do both.
The heart of it is a telescopic carbon handle. Nash say it gives you a full 6ft 10in, or 207cm, of reach when extended, and retracts down to just 44 inches, or 110cm, for carrying. It works on a twist-lock mechanism, which Nash say adds to the strength and durability of the handle, and the pole itself is made from high-quality carbon chosen for its resistance to pressure and high tensile strength.
So who's it for? The obvious answer is the stalker and the roving angler. Nash point out that the packed net is the same size as their Scope 9ft carp rod, and that's clearly deliberate. If you fish with short rods and like to move around, you can bundle the rods, net and sticks into one tidy package. It's also handy for anyone fishing snaggy margins where extra reach helps you net a fish before it dives into the lilies.
The arms are 44 inches long, rather than the more common 42-inch carp net. That's a little more mouth, which matters when you've got a big fish wallowing in front of you. Nash have also made the arms pack down to the same length as the handle, so nothing pokes out of the bundle, and they've supplied a Velcro strap to hold the whole lot together between swims.
Grip and strength get attention too. The handle has Japanese shrink grips, which stay grippy even when your hands are wet and muddy, and the spreader block has been micro-engineered for strength and torque resistance. That's the bit that takes the strain when you lift a heavy fish, so it's good to see it's not an afterthought.
Looks-wise, the handle has the distinctive Scope carbon weave finish you'll find across the range, so if you already fish Scope rods it'll match. That's a nice touch, though most of us care more about how it nets fish than how it looks on the rod rest.
The honest trade-offs? Twist-lock sections need a bit of care: rinse them after muddy sessions so grit doesn't wear them. It's also a premium net compared with a basic fixed-handle 42-inch, so if you fish long sessions from one swim and never move, a cheaper net does the same job. And remember, extra reach is handy, but don't lift a heavy fish at full extension; draw it back on the water first.
On paper, the Scope looks like a really clever net for the angler who's on the move. In the rest of this review, we'll go through the full spec, who it suits, how it compares with a standard 42-inch net like the Gardner GTN+, and the questions anglers usually ask before buying.

Our take
Built to Match the Scope Rods
The net packs to the same 44in as Nash's Scope 9ft rod, which is no accident. If you run a short-rod roving setup, the net, rods and sticks can all travel together in one small bundle.
The Scope carbon weave finish matches the rest of the range, and a Velcro strap holds the lot together between swims.
What you're actually buying
Telescopic carbon with proper arms
The handle is high-quality carbon chosen for pressure resistance and tensile strength, extended or collapsed with a twist-lock. The spreader block is micro-engineered for strength and resistance to twisting, which matters when there's a big carp in the mesh.

FAQs in full
The questions anglers actually ask
The extra reach is handy in the margins, but don't over-extend when lifting a heavy fish; slide the net back towards you on the water before lifting by the arms.
If your fishing is mostly long sessions from one swim, a fixed-handle 42in net is cheaper. The Scope earns its keep when you're on the move.
