Nash Scope Black Ops Brolly
If you’re looking for an ultra-light brolly system to revolutionise your angling then you need look no further than the Nash Scope Black Ops Brolly. Weighing in at only 4.9kg, including storm poles, this is an exceptionally low weight brolly that is perfect for the stalking and roving angler who wants a combination of mobility and shelter. The brolly also packs down to a mere 44 inches, making it the perfect tool for the angler who likes to keep mobile on the bank – as well as the angler looking to consolidate their gear whilst not sacrificing protection.
The brolly is manufactured from a 5,000mm Aqua Sense Hydra material. This is extremely waterproof and it can more than hold its own against the heaviest British and continental downpour. Aqua Sense Hydra is Nash’s premier wet-weather material and it ensures that the brolly is as breathable as it is waterproof. To top off its waterproof credentials, the brolly has taped seams. It also boasts a rain gutter, which ensures that rain water hitting the brolly is directed off the sides, rather than over the front. This not only prevents any splash back from the water running off the front of the brolly but it also ensures that your vision is completely unimpeded whilst you’re watching out over your swim.
One of the biggest benefits of this brolly is its space frame hub. This ensures that internal space in the Nash Scope Black Ops Brolly is maximised, so you can sit upright comfortably whilst surveying the water. What’s more, it also has two height settings. This is ideal for when you’re targeting swims with low foliage and you want to tuck yourself away out of sight. At its lowest, the brolly can be set to 114cm tall. This provides a super sleek low profile. The brolly can also be extended to 124cm tall, which ensures that should you need to sit completely upright you have more than enough space to do so. The footprint of the Nash Scope Black Ops Brolly is remarkable, especially considering its small pack down size. With a width of 260cm, you can more than easily fit a bedchair in the brolly, should you want to
The Nash Scope Black Ops Brolly is an incredibly stable setup. This is due to its four rib ground contact, which ensures that the brolly is properly rooted into the ground – even in high winds. T-pegs also ensure that you can peg in your brolly precisely and securely no matter what ground you’re setting up on. Two 28 inch storm stick, which come supplied with the brolly as standard, also ensure that the brolly is held in the perfect position, so you don’t have to worry about brolly warping or, even worse, collapse, in bad weather conditions. Rod retainer straps on the side of the brolly are a nice final touch, as they ensure that your carp rods are secure whilst you’re rigging up.
Being mobile on the bank should be one of the most important considerations for any angler. It is also important that you, and your gear, are able to stay sheltered from the elements when you require it. Carrying a full on bivvy system to the bank can feel somewhat excessive, especially if you’re only planning on enjoying a short session or a quick overnighter. However, some anglers will feel they have no other option, particularly when the weather is poor. The Nash Scope Black Ops Brolly gives you the best of both worlds, combining ease of manoeuvrability with comfort of a shelter – perfect on miserable days when you don’t want to let a little inclement weather stop you from hitting the bank.
