Nash Tackle BP-10 Fast Drag Big Pit Carp Fishing Reel

Product Information

Why make reels so cheap? The Nash sub brand H-Gun recognizes that an awful lot of people haven't got much spare cash, youngsters have little or are relying on parents, and it could be argued that if you're new to the sport its madness to go spending a lot of money on top end gear if you aren't going to take to it. The H-Gun BP-10 is fitted with a dual Spot On line clip. This allows you to fish two spots with total accuracy, perfect for when you’re using this rod as a spod or a marker. The Spot On technology ensures that you’re never at risk of damaging your line. The ACR 12000 big pit reel can hold 450yds of 0.35mm line (which should be more than enough for most carp anglers) and has a long, tapered spool that can reduce friction when casting to enable you to achieve longer distances. The 4.9:1 gear ratio allows for rapid recovery. Image by: Avid Carp The point I am making is just because we are bringing out really low price reels, that doesn't mean they are going to be rubbish. The whole philosophy of the H-Gun brand came about because there was so much absolute crap at the bottom end, and we were concerned that people taking up carp fishing might have such a bad experience with their gear letting them down that they wouldn't enjoy it, and so give up. The philosophy of H-Gun is to make entry level product which offers reliability and won’t let you down.

If you have a really lightweight rod and a really heavy big pit reel, it can feel slightly alien. On the flip-side, a really lightweight reel can sometimes feel unbalanced. It is definitely worth buying gear that works well together. Boasting stainless steel ball bearings, a matt finish and a balanced, wooden handle, the Okuma CB-80 even comes with a spare spool! Smooth operation comes from 6 + 1 roller bearing construction, with Level Wind line lay for longer casting and variable tension free spool. The line friendly Spot On line clip ensures precision rig placement, and CNC machined handles and a multi disc drag take the pressures of playing powerful fish in their stride. Considering that Daiwa is responsible for some of the most expensive reels on the planet, it is nice to see that they also provide a good quality reel at the other end of the price spectrum. All good reels deserve to have good spare spools and this is true of the Nash H-Gun range. All the Nash H-Gun reels are top quality bits of kit that have been purposed designed for use with the H-Gun rod range. These spare spools have been purpose built to fit the different models in the range.

The main reason for selecting a big pit style reel is the enhanced casting performance offered by the larger spools and the BP10 doesn't disappoint in that regard.

PLEASE NOTE: All services are normally delivered within 48hours but this is not guaranteed as we cannot be held responsible for problems beyond our control. The fast drag adjustment requires less than a single turn to connect you directly to the fish, and there is an isotope slot incorporated into the handle, which can be folded flat with one touch. Will Nash bring out top end reels? Only when we believe we have the technical ability and innovation to take the best boys on. We wouldn't, for example, just bring out a reel which is a basically a copy of Daiwa or Shimano, with no unique innovative features. Just like we are proving with bite alarms, if we go into a product area it will only be with the knowledge that we have something better to offer the carp angler.’ This is the odd-looking number that is associated with every reel (i.e 4.6:1). In this instance, it tells you that the spool rotates 4.6 times for each turn of the handle. In some cases, the higher the number is, the more line the reel can retrieve.

Avid are infants in comparison to some of the manufacturers on this list, but their products are excellent in terms of both quality and value. Both the Nash H-Gun FR-5 and FR-8 spare spools are fitted with a single spot on line clip. This means that you can fish on the clip to get full casting accuracy without worrying about causing any kind of line damage.

We recently caught up with Kevin Nash himself, who explained what the reels were all about and why they had been created and added to ever growing Nash range.

A big pit carp reel has become an essential piece of kit for when you are fishing at longer distances, so much so that many anglers have discarded their faithful baitrunner reels in favour of these all-rounders. Before we take a look at the recommendations, there are a few factors that you should always consider before parting with your hard-earned cash: The H-Gun BP-10 boasts a multi-disc drag that allows you to switch between free spool and fight mode in just one turn. This enables you to capitalise on every power with aggression – resulting in more landed catches. Level Wind ensures that you get perfect line lay every time.

There's three reels in the range with two free spool reels (FR5 and FR8) and one big pit (BP10). First of all we’ll start with the freespool models, the Nash H-Gun FR-5 and the Nash H-Gun FR-8, now both these models are the same, the only difference being the spool capacity and size. Boasting 7 stainless steel ball bearings, an aluminium handle and a strong casing, Avid has created a reel that is built to last. At 740g, it is one of the heavier reels on this list. PLEASE NOTE: (Size restrictions do apply, please see Royal Mail webiste for further information.) All Prices are Inc Vat Big pit reels can hold a lot of line, which are perfect if you are doing really long distance casting or boating your rigs out to their chosen spots. However, if you are only casting around 100yds, you can probably go for a smaller version (or maybe you don’t even need a big pit reel at all?)
