NASH Air Force F20 Set - Rod 12 ft 3.50 lbs & Carp Landing Net

Product advantages

The Nash Air Force F20 rod and carp landing net set is designed for anglers who demand high-level performance, whether during leisure sessions or competitions. Built on next-generation blank technology, the rod in this range enables accurate long-distance casting while maintaining a perfectly controlled action during fights with carp. Every extra meter can make the difference on heavily fished waters, and this set helps the angler reach distant spots consistently.

The philosophy of the Air Force F20 series is clear: to offer a long-distance carp rod that does not sacrifice feel or safety at the hookset and during the fight. The progressive blank absorbs powerful runs while retaining a substantial power reserve to steer the fish toward the net. Paired with a Nash carp landing net engineered for stability, buoyancy and fish protection, this combination forms a coherent, effective and reassuring set at every stage.

Thanks to modern carbon construction, the rod remains light and responsive, reducing fatigue during long casting and baiting sessions. The guides and handle are designed to improve line flow, grip ergonomics and casting precision. The net features a wide head and deep mesh, ideal for safely securing large fish. The soft mesh respects scales and fins, minimizing the risk of injury.

This Nash Air Force F20 rod and landing net set suits both experienced carp anglers and ambitious anglers looking to improve casting distance and efficiency at the water’s edge. It’s a sensible choice for stepping up your fishing without needing to buy separate components.

Benefits and key strengths

The main advantage of this set lies in the synergy between the rod and the landing net. Rather than assembling gear piece by piece, the angler gets a ready-to-use carp set optimized from the start to work together. The blank’s power enables long distances while its progressive reserve preserves fish even during prolonged fights.

The rod stands out for its ability to launch heavy rigs without losing control. Whether sending large leads, sticks or PVA bags, the Air Force F20 design helps maintain a taut, consistent trajectory. This precision is essential when aiming to place rigs on tight spots, distant margins or pressured shoals.

The landing net also provides essential advantages. Its rigid handle eases maneuvers around obstacles, at night or in windy conditions. The floating characteristic offers real convenience: it’s possible to keep the net positioned in the water while preparing the landing mat or unhooking the fish. The deep net secures carp during these operations, reducing stress and escape risk.

Overall, this Nash Air Force F20 rod and landing net set delivers an attractive efficiency/reliability ratio for modern carp fishing: large waters, heavily fished spots, distant margins or precise shallow areas.

Usage advice

To fully exploit the Air Force F20 rod’s potential, adapt your leader and lead weight to the targeted water type. By practicing a smooth, progressive casting motion, the angler benefits from the blank’s power reserve to gain distance while preserving accuracy. Using lines suited to distance (tapered leaders, monofilament or braid depending on regulations) helps get the most from the rod.

When netting, keep the fish near the surface and guide it gently toward the net head. Thanks to the handle’s rigidity, a simple levering motion secures the carp without forcing. Leave the net in the water for a few moments, maintaining control, to let the fish recover before handling on the landing mat. Rinse the net regularly and check for knots or snags to extend the set’s service life.
