The Nash Scope GTL 8000 is a high-performance, big-pit reel designed to maximize casting distance and line capacity, making it suitable for extreme range fishing, including long-range boat work on large waters. It is built to partner with both Nashs shorter Scope and Dwarf rods (9ft and 10ft) and traditional 12ft and 13ft rods.
Key Features
