NASH Scope Butt Lock Peg Rod Butt Support

Product advantages

The NASH Scope Butt Lock Peg rod butt support is designed to keep your rod firmly in place during the most violent bites. Thanks to its butt-locking system, it prevents the rod from being thrown forward when a fish makes a powerful run. This accessory is particularly valued by mobile anglers who practice stalking and short-session carp fishing, as it offers maximum security without multiplying supports or weighing down your setup. By adding it to your fishing position you gain reliable retention that lets you focus on watching the water and presenting your rigs instead of worrying about a rod being pulled into the water.

Developed within the Scope range, this butt lock peg for carp rods is optimised to work with rods whose butt fits correctly into the retention system. Latest-generation Scope rods can be fitted with a specific butt end that slots and locks smoothly into the support for an even more precise and secure fit. Compact and discreet, this support is easy to carry in minimalist luggage and suits most swims, whether you fish a small intimate pond, an urban canal or a large gravel pit.

Benefits and strengths

The main advantage of the NASH Scope Butt Lock Peg is the security it gives your rods. When a fish makes a violent run, especially when fishing tight to cover or near obstacles, the risk of the rod being pulled into the water is real. By locking the butt, this support acts as a safeguard and keeps your rod in place while the reel drag engages. This is a major asset for carp anglers fishing tight to snags, in rivers, or very close to banks.

This lockable butt support also stands out for its ease of use. Once positioned at your swim, simply present the rod butt and let it lock into the system. You save time at each setup and move, which is ideal for quick sessions before or after work, or for spot-checking where you change position frequently. The confidence provided by this secure hold allows you to fish with tighter drags or on the margin with greater peace of mind.

Finally, the NASH Scope Butt Lock Peg fits into an equipment-optimisation approach. Rather than multiplying spikes and rests, you have a reliable anchor point for the rod butt that perfectly complements a bite alarm or a simple butt rest. It's a durable investment to reinforce the security of your premium gear.

Usage tips

To get the best from your NASH Scope Butt Lock Peg rod butt support, install it on stable ground and ensure it is firmly anchored in the soil or on your chosen base. Position the support so the rod angle allows the butt to slot naturally into the locking system without forcing it.

Then present the rod butt in line with the Butt Lock Peg and let it insert until you feel the rod is held. Always check that the rod is correctly locked before tightening the line and setting up your bite alarms. When moving swims, make a habit of releasing the butt by pulling the rod rearwards with a firm but controlled motion, avoiding excessive twisting.

This support is particularly suited to approaches where runs can be very sharp, such as fishing along weed beds, around submerged trees or steep margins. Adjust the reel drag according to the situation, keeping in mind that the Butt Lock Peg is there to prevent the butt from exiting its housing at the moment of the bite.
