Nash 12ft 5 Rod Skin

Carp angling can take you to some truly stunning places, but it can also bring you up against bankside terrain which really isn’t tackle friendly, especially not when that tackle is expensive, high-performance rods.

As a carp angler, you will typically be using multiple rods in the swim, as these intelligent and cautious fish often need to be given different types of bait, presented at different distances and levels, in different styles, before they’ll grace you with a take. A multi-rod set up also provides an easy way to encourage fish to an area of your swim where the conditions offer you the best chance of a clean catch.

This means you’ll need a full complement of rods, to maximise your time on the bank, and give you the best possible chance of bringing in a top-quality catch.

With the capacity to easily carry three fully made up rods, tackled up with big pit reels and 50mm ringing, plus a spod and marker rod, this 5 Rod Skin from Nash also features a gusseted design which can accommodate up to five big pit reels, a drawstring base pouch for your bankside brolly, and a padded, zipped external pocket for banksticks, storm poles, and nets, giving you the flexibility to pack your entire bankside set up in one durable, easy to carry luggage option.

Full length twin zips provide easy access, so there’s no risk of your rods, reels, or terminal tackle being damaged as you take your made up rods out of the rod skin, or place them back into it at the end of your session, while a reinforced waterproof base allows you to set your fully loaded rod sleeve down almost anywhere, even on the most inhospitable banksides, without worrying that your rods will be damaged in any way.

With an adjustable, padded shoulder strap, which can easily be removed if you’re transporting the skin on a barrow, and soft, comfortable suede carry handles, moving this rod skin about, whether you’re walking it to the bank or just lifting it into and out of your car, and on and off a barrow, becomes truly effortless, with a touch of style that is the hallmark of the Nash brand.
