Scope Black OPS GR - 10FT - 3.75LB

The Nash Scope Black OPS GR 10FT 3.75LB is a high-end carp rod for anglers who want to combine the compact Scope concept with maximum power and impressive casting performance. The Black OPS GR series represents the highest specification level Nash has developed so far within the Scope family, combining an advanced 40T Japanese Toray carbon blank with Graphene reinforcement and carefully selected premium components.

With a length of 10 ft and a 3.75 lb test curve, this model is aimed at situations where extra power and casting distance are desired. According to Nash, their in-house casting tester Jermaine Hull achieved distances up to 200 yards with this specific 10FT 3.75LB model. This shows how much casting performance can be extracted from a relatively compact rod, while maintaining the mobile and easy-to-handle character of the Scope series.

40T Japanese Toray carbon with Graphene

The heart of the Black OPS GR is a new blank construction made from advanced 40T Japanese Toray carbon with Graphene reinforcement. Graphene is still relatively rare in carp rods and, according to Nash, is more commonly found in high-end competition rods where low weight, high strength, and sensitivity are crucial.

This material combination allowed Nash to make the Black OPS GR blank lighter and slimmer than previous Scope designs, while simultaneously increasing strength and responsiveness. As a result, the rod feels fast and precise despite the solid 3.75 lb test curve.

• 40T Japanese Toray carbon
• Graphene reinforcement
• Lighter blank construction
• Slimmer blank profile
• High strength
• Faster recovery
• Improved responsiveness

3.75LB for powerful casting

The 3.75 lb test curve makes this model especially suitable for anglers who want to extract a lot of power from a compact 10 ft rod. The stronger blank offers enough reserve to load powerfully during casting, making it ideal for situations where longer distances, heavier rigs, or extra control are required.

• Test curve: 3.75 lb
• Lots of power in a compact 10 ft rod
• Suitable for powerful casting
• Ample power reserve
• Suitable for heavier conditions

Up to 200 yards during Nash casting tests

According to Nash, their internal casting tester Jermaine Hull achieved casting distances up to 200 yards with the 10FT 3.75LB Black OPS GR. This test underlines the capabilities of the renewed blank construction, materials, and build of the Black OPS GR series.

The stated 200 yards is a test result achieved by Nash and not a guaranteed casting distance for every angler. Actual achievable distance depends on casting technique, reel, line, lead weight, rig, and conditions.

Faster recovery

The new blank construction has a noticeably faster recovery than previous Scope designs. After loading during a cast, the blank returns more quickly to its original position. This limits unwanted after-vibration and allows the energy during casting to be used more efficiently.

This feature also provides a sharper and more direct feel in the rod, both during casting and when in contact with a fish.

Refined Scope action

Nash has further refined the well-known Scope action to create a tighter and more precise blank. According to Nash, this has resulted in their best performing Scope series in terms of casting.

In this 10FT 3.75LB model, the combination of a compact length, strong test curve, and fast blank construction really shines when casting performance is key.

Compact 10FT length

Despite its strong focus on performance, this rod remains only 10 ft long. This makes it easier to handle than traditional longer carp rods and aligns with the original Scope philosophy: getting as much performance as possible from a compact setup.

• Compact 10 ft length
• Easy to handle in tight spots
• Suitable for mobile fishing
• Practical for transport and use
• Combines compactness with strong casting performance

ALPS CWG-AI reel seat

The Black OPS GR is equipped with the premium ALPS CWG-AI reel seat. This new reel seat features a carbon insert, integrated rubber damping, and two machined compression rings.

The design is made to hold the reel very securely while remaining comfortable in hand during both casting and playing fish.

• ALPS CWG-AI reel seat
• Carbon insert
• Integrated rubber damping
• Twin machined compression washers
• Secure reel attachment
• Comfortable grip around the reel seat

SeaGuide TCDG guides

The 10FT 3.75LB model is fitted with SeaGuide TCDG guides. These are treated with advanced Adaman coating technology, which according to Nash helps prevent grooves forming in the guides during intensive use.

The guides also have a high stand-off profile for efficient line flow during casting. On this specific 10FT 3.75LB model, the configuration runs from a 50 mm starting guide to a 12 mm anti-tangle tip guide.

• SeaGuide TCDG guides
• Adaman coating
• 50 mm starting guide
• 12 mm anti-tangle tip guide
• High stand-off profile
• Designed for optimal line guidance during casting
• Coating aimed at reducing wear and groove formation

50 mm starting guide

The 3.75 lb model features a 50 mm starting guide. This larger ring configuration is specifically applied to the 9 ft and 10 ft Black OPS GR models with 3.5 lb and 3.75 lb test curves, matching the stronger, more casting-focused versions.

12 mm anti-tangle tip guide

The ring setup finishes at the top with a 12 mm anti-tangle tip guide. This design helps prevent the line from wrapping around the tip during powerful casts, contributing to reliable line flow.

PE knitted handle grip

The handle is fitted with a PE knitted grip. Nash chose this material for its combination of durability, comfort, and easy maintenance. This keeps the handle practical and pleasant to hold even during intensive use.

• PE knitted grip
• Comfortable hold
• Durable construction
• Easy to clean

1K carbon line clip

The integrated 1K carbon line clip is a subtle functional detail on the blank. It allows the line to be neatly positioned when the rod is resting on the rests, while the carbon material visually matches the high-quality blank.

Black OPS finish

For the finish, Nash opted for a restrained premium look. Matte black wrappings and alignment markers are combined with embossed Black OPS branding, giving the rod a technical and stylish appearance without excessive details.

• Matte black wrappings
• Matte black alignment markers
• Embossed Black OPS branding
• Minimalist premium look

Machined metal butt cap

The butt end of the rod features a machined metal butt cap. Additionally, a replaceable Butt Lock cap is included, allowing the rod to be used in combination with Nash Scope Butt Lock Pegs.

• Machined metal butt cap
• Replaceable Butt Lock cap included
• Compatible with Scope Butt Lock Pegs
• Extra option to firmly position the rod
