NASH Scope Poncho

Product highlights

The NASH Scope Poncho is a versatile fishing poncho designed for carp anglers and mobile fishermen who need reliable weather protection while staying agile. Its roomy cut provides generous coverage whether you are standing, sitting or crouching, letting you focus on fishing instead of the weather.

Thanks to its waterproof, windproof fabric, this waterproof fishing poncho effectively blocks rain and reduces heat loss caused by wind. It deploys and packs away in moments, making it an ideal companion for quick sessions, stalking, or exploring hard-to-reach spots.

The Scope Poncho also stands out with its subtle camouflage pattern from the Scope range, helping you blend into the environment and remain discreet at the water's edge. Simple, robust and extremely practical, it is a core piece of any modern, mobility-oriented fishing kit.

Advantages and key strengths

The main strength of the NASH Scope Poncho is its versatility. In a few simple moves it converts from protective clothing to a true fishing tarp or lightweight shelter. By opening the side snaps you get a sheet that can be stretched between two supports or pegged to the ground, creating a windbreak or roof to shelter you and protect your gear.

The metal eyelets allow it to be transformed into a minimalist shelter for sleeping or waiting comfortably between bites. By positioning the tarp correctly and tying the hood with a simple knot, water naturally drains outward, reducing the risk of leakage through the hood opening.

The Scope Poncho can also be used as a protective cover for a trolley, boat, bags or equipment sensitive to moisture. It quickly becomes indispensable for all outings in the outdoors: long sessions, quick trips, scouting or impromptu after-work sessions. Its simple, sturdy design makes it a reliable piece of equipment you can count on.

Finally, its small packed size means you can always have it at hand in your car boot or fishing bag. This constant availability ensures you won't be surprised by a shower or sudden wind, while providing an ultra-fast shelter solution to deploy.

Usage tips

To use it as fishing rainwear, simply pull it over your head, adjust the hood and fasten the side snaps. Check that the bottom of the poncho properly covers your clothing and that inner layers do not protrude to minimize water ingress.

In tarp or lightweight shelter mode, open all side snaps to flatten it out completely. Secure the eyelets on the edges using pegs, tent pegs or sturdy branches. Then tension the opposite edge between two supports (trees, pegs, rod supports) to create a sloping roof or windbreak depending on your setup. Make sure to orient the shelter so water runs away from your living area.

It can also be used as a protective cover for your trolley, boat or bags: simply drape it over the gear to cover and secure it with a few anchor points to prevent it from blowing away. After each rainy use, let it dry completely in the open air before folding to preserve the fabric's performance and avoid damp odors.
