Precision, Power & Control for Modern Commercial Fishing
The Drennan Acolyte Commercial Feeder Rods are purpose-built for today’s commercial venues, where accuracy, balance, and fish-playing control matter most. Whether you’re fishing small Method feeders tight to an island, chucking long to open water, or targeting F1s and big carp down the track, these rods deliver effortless casting and total confidence when it counts.
Light, slim, and beautifully balanced, each Acolyte Commercial Feeder combines Drennan’s advanced carbon technology with superb build quality. The progressive through-action cushions hook pulls on light lines yet packs plenty of power in the mid and butt sections to subdue powerful carp with ease.
Elegant, responsive, and a joy to use — these rods set the benchmark for commercial feeder fishing across the UK.
Built for Commercial Feeder Precision
Modern commercial fishing demands rods that are accurate, forgiving, and responsive — and that’s exactly what the Acolyte Commercial Feeder range delivers. Designed through extensive testing by Drennan’s elite match team, every rod in the range offers pin-point casting control, smooth recovery, and a fish-playing action that inspires confidence.
These rods excel whether you’re flicking a 15g Method tight across to reeds or launching a heavier Hybrid feeder to 50 yards plus. The casting action is crisp and predictable, so you can hit the same spot time after time. Once you’re into a fish, the forgiving top section soaks up every lunge and headshake, dramatically reducing hook pulls — especially vital when using small hooks and fine lines.
Advanced Carbon Construction
The Acolyte Commercial Feeder Rods are built on high-modulus carbon blanks, combining strength, lightness, and responsiveness. Drennan’s engineers have fine-tuned the carbon lay-up to produce a blank that feels feather-light in the hand yet retains serious power reserves through the lower sections.
The rods feature a progressive through-action, meaning the curve flows smoothly from tip to butt under load. This gives a clean, controlled bend that’s perfect for absorbing the surges of fast-running carp while maintaining hook-holds and protecting lighter hooklengths.
Even when playing double-figure fish close in, the blank keeps its shape and control, giving you confidence and precision throughout the fight.
Available Models for Every Job
The Acolyte Commercial Feeder range covers every situation you’ll face on modern commercials. Each model has been carefully designed with its own action and casting power to match specific styles of fishing:
9ft Feeder – Ideal for short chucks and snake lakes. Perfect for F1s, skimmers, and small carp.
10ft Feeder – A great all-rounder for casting up to around 30–35m. Spot-on for small Methods and bomb work.
11ft Feeder – The go-to choice for medium-range work. Handles everything from F1s to proper carp with ease.
12ft Feeder – Designed for longer chucks on bigger commercials or open-water fishing where distance and control matter.
All models are supplied with interchangeable carbon quiver tips (usually 1oz, 1.5oz, and 2oz), giving excellent bite detection across a range of conditions.
Casting Accuracy & Control
Casting performance is one of the Acolyte Commercial Feeder’s standout features. The blanks recover quickly after the cast, helping feeders fly straight and true with minimal wobble. That means more accurate casts, tighter groupings, and ultimately more fish in the net.
The responsive tip gives perfect feedback, so you can feel every movement as your feeder lands and settles. When striking, the rod responds instantly — no jarring, no sudden stiffness, just a smooth transfer of power that turns quick bites into solid hook-ups.
Fish-Playing Performance
When you’re playing fish on commercials, the Acolyte’s progressive action really shines. The forgiving top section prevents hook pulls when F1s twist and turn under the tip, while the mid-section power helps you steer big carp away from platforms or snags.
This smooth, even curve makes the fight feel completely under control. The rod absorbs every surge, allowing you to stay in touch with the fish without fear of line breaks or pulled hooks.
It’s this unique balance of finesse and power that makes the Acolyte Commercial Feeder so enjoyable to use — whether you’re catching small F1s quickly or playing a big carp at the end of a match.
Top-Quality Components
Every detail on the Acolyte Commercial Feeder Rods reflects Drennan’s premium build quality and attention to detail.
Key features include:
Lightweight stainless-frame guides with smooth, durable inserts for friction-free line flow.
Screw-down DPS-style reel seat, giving a secure fit for your reel and a solid, balanced feel.
High-grade cork handle with EVA trim, offering comfort, grip, and balance even during long sessions.
Slim matte-finish blank, understated yet stylish, minimising glare and reflections.
The overall finish is elegant, clean, and built to last — exactly what you’d expect from a flagship Drennan rod.
Comfort and Balance
Long feeder sessions can be tiring, but the Acolyte Commercial Feeder’s perfect balance and lightweight build make it effortless to fish with all day. The rods sit comfortably in your hand when casting, striking, or playing fish, with no heaviness or tip bounce.
The combination of cork and EVA on the handle provides both traditional style and modern practicality — easy to grip, comfortable in any weather, and durable season after season.
Interchangeable Carbon Tips
Each rod is supplied with Drennan’s high-quality carbon quiver tips, carefully matched to the blank for seamless curve and sensitivity. The fine tips pick up delicate indications from F1s and skimmers, while the stronger tips cope easily with heavy feeders and bigger carp.
These tips slot perfectly into the rod, keeping the action smooth and balanced — a hallmark of the Acolyte range. The interchangeable system also means you can mix and match across your other Acolyte feeder rods, giving you maximum versatility.
Performance on the Bank
In use, the Acolyte Commercial Feeders perform with absolute precision. Casting is effortless and controlled — whether underarming a Method to the far bank or punching a Hybrid 50m into open water. The line flows freely through the rings, and the blank recovers instantly, delivering pinpoint accuracy cast after cast.
Bite registration is superb; even the faintest liner or delicate F1 pluck shows clearly through the tip. Striking feels crisp yet forgiving, and once hooked, the fish-playing curve takes over smoothly, keeping pressure steady right through to the net.
It’s no surprise these rods are a favourite among top match anglers across the UK — they simply do everything you need, flawlessly.
Versatile and Reliable
Although designed for commercial venues, the Acolyte Commercial Feeders are versatile enough for natural waters too. They perform beautifully on small rivers and stillwaters when targeting skimmers, bream, or tench with light feeders.
The rods handle a wide range of lines and feeders — typically 2lb to 8lb lines and feeders up to 45g (depending on model). That versatility makes them a great choice for anglers who fish different venues but want one consistent, reliable setup.
Conclusion – The Ultimate Commercial Feeder Range

A Purpose-Built Range for Commercial Venues
Pellet waggler fishing has become one of the most exciting and effective methods on commercial fisheries, and the Drennan Commercial Pellet Waggler Rods are designed specifically for it. Every rod in the range has been carefully tuned to deliver the perfect combination of casting speed, accuracy, and power for modern commercial work.
From flicking small 4g wagglers tight to the near shelf, to punching heavier floats long and deep for pressured carp, the range covers every situation. These rods make it easy to cast repeatedly, strike crisply, and control hard-fighting fish close to the net — the hallmarks of a great commercial waggler rod.
Available Models and Key Features
The Commercial Pellet Waggler range typically includes 10ft, 11ft, and 12ft models, each serving a specific role:
10ft Rod – Ideal for short-range work on small commercials, tight swims, and snake lakes. Perfect for F1s and smaller carp.
11ft Rod – The all-rounder. Balanced for medium distances up to 30 yards, offering great versatility on most venues.
12ft Rod – Designed for longer casts and deeper waters where distance and line control are key. Perfect for big carp and open-water work.
All models are rated for main lines up to around 8–10lb and casting weights of roughly 15–20g, giving you plenty of scope to match your tackle to venue conditions and target species.
Crisp, Fast Action for Pellet Wagglers
The standout feature of the Drennan Commercial Pellet Waggler Rods is their crisp, fast action. These rods recover instantly after the cast, keeping wagglers stable and accurate. The quick tip recovery helps eliminate wobble in flight, meaning your floats land straight and true every time.
Once the bait’s in the water, the responsive blank gives you fast line pick-up when striking — essential for hitting those lightning-fast pellet waggler bites. The mid and butt sections then take over smoothly, cushioning the fight and helping to steer fish away from obstacles or shallow margins.
The result is a rod that feels alive — fast and precise when casting, soft and forgiving when playing fish.
Built from Premium Carbon for Lightness and Strength
Each rod in the range is constructed from high-quality carbon fibre, giving it the strength to handle hard-fighting carp without adding unnecessary weight. The lightweight blank means you can cast all day with minimal fatigue, making it ideal for busy match sessions where you might be casting dozens or even hundreds of times.
The powerful progressive action ensures there’s plenty of backbone for casting heavier wagglers and controlling big fish, while still maintaining the finesse needed for smaller species and lighter setups.
Top-Quality Components and Finish
As with all Drennan Acolyte and Commercial rods, attention to detail is second to none. Every component has been chosen to maximise performance, comfort, and durability.
Key features include:
Lightweight stainless steel guides with hard-wearing inserts for smooth line flow, reduced friction, and longer casting life.
Secure screw-down DPS reel seat that holds your reel firmly in place, even under pressure.
High-quality cork handle paired with a comfortable EVA rear grip for a perfect blend of tradition, style, and modern performance.
Sleek, low-profile blanks finished with subtle graphics that reflect Drennan’s premium design ethos.
Everything about these rods — from the guide spacing to the balance point — has been carefully considered to create a rod that feels just right in the hand.
Perfectly Balanced for Comfort and Control
When fishing the pellet waggler, balance and comfort are everything. You’ll often be holding the rod for long periods, striking constantly and playing fish in quick succession. The Drennan Commercial Pellet Waggler Rods are designed with this in mind.
They sit beautifully in the hand, perfectly balanced when paired with a mid-sized waggler reel. The combination of lightness and responsiveness means you can fish actively all day without feeling fatigued. The handle length and positioning have also been refined to provide the ideal leverage for striking and casting with ease.
Casting Accuracy and Distance Control
Whether you’re casting 15 yards to a near shelf or 40 yards to cruising fish, accuracy is vital. The crisp blank and carefully spaced guides make these rods a dream to cast. The line flows freely, and the rod loads smoothly, helping you hit your target time after time.
That same crisp recovery also helps prevent tangles or loops around the float on the cast — a small but crucial detail when fishing busy matches where every second counts. Once in the water, the fast action lets you pick up line quickly to connect with bites, even at long range.
Playing Action – Power and Cushion Combined
Hooking into a powerful carp or a lively F1 is where these rods truly shine. The forgiving tip cushions sudden lunges and prevents hook pulls, while the mid and lower sections provide solid power to turn fish quickly. This balanced action allows you to fish lighter hooklengths with confidence, yet still control carp well into double figures.
Whether you’re fishing shallow or deep, the rod bends beautifully under load, giving you that perfect mix of control and forgiveness.

The Drennan Commercial Pellet Waggler Rods have been developed with direct input from Drennan’s match and field team — anglers who spend countless hours on commercial fisheries and know exactly what’s needed.

Long-Range Power and Precision for Modern Anglers
The Drennan Acolyte Distance Feeder Rods are designed for anglers who need maximum casting distance, control, and confidence on commercial lakes, large reservoirs, and rivers. Engineered for long-range Method, Hybrid, and open-end feeder work, these rods combine high-power blanks with progressive action, giving effortless casting, precise strike detection, and smooth fish-playing performance.
Whether you’re targeting F1 carp, skimmers, or bonus carp at distance, the Acolyte Distance range delivers the perfect combination of strength, accuracy, and comfort. Lightweight yet incredibly strong, these rods give you total confidence when casting heavy feeders to far-off feeding spots, handling big fish with ease while protecting delicate lines.
Purpose-Built for Distance Feeder Fishing
Long-range feeder fishing is as much about technique as it is about tackle. The Drennan Acolyte Distance Feeder Rods have been specifically designed to make those long casts easier, while maintaining total control over the line, the feeder, and the fish.
From mid-sized Hybrid feeders to heavy Method feeders, these rods load beautifully on the cast, sending bait accurately to the target spot without overworking your arm. The progressive action helps to absorb shocks when the feeder hits the water, minimising hook pulls and improving strike success at range.
Premium High-Modulus Carbon Blanks
Constructed from high-modulus carbon fibre, the Acolyte Distance Feeders are lightweight yet incredibly strong. Drennan’s engineers have optimised the blank’s taper and layering to deliver a fast, crisp action at the tip, combined with substantial power in the mid and butt sections.
This combination allows you to cast heavier feeders further, maintain control when striking, and fight carp and other strong fish with confidence. The rods maintain their shape under load, ensuring accuracy and energy transfer on every cast, while protecting lighter hooklengths and small hooks from being pulled free.
Available Models and Specifications
The Acolyte Distance Feeder Rod range typically includes 12ft, 13ft, and 14ft models, each tailored for different long-range scenarios:
12ft Model – Ideal for shorter distance work up to 30–35 yards, giving precision and control on mid-sized commercial lakes or natural stillwaters.
13ft Model – The all-rounder for medium to long-range work. Excellent for both Hybrid and Method feeder fishing at 35–45 yards.

All models can handle lines from 4lb to 10lb and casting weights typically up to 60–80g, depending on rod length, giving flexibility for different feeders and target species.
Casting Performance
Distance casting requires the perfect balance of power and control, and the Acolyte Distance Feeders deliver this in spades. The fast tip recovers immediately after the cast, keeping the feeder stable in flight, while the mid-section transfers energy efficiently to send bait to distant feeding spots.
The smooth, progressive action ensures the feeder lands accurately, minimising splashes or errant bounces that might spook wary carp. The precise blank also helps control line slack and allows for perfect float or marker presentation at long distances.
Fish-Playing and Progressive Action
Once a fish takes the bait, the Acolyte Distance Feeder’s progressive through-action comes into play. The tip cushions sudden runs and lunges, reducing hook-pulls, while the mid and lower sections provide the strength to control and guide fish.
Whether it’s an F1 darting across a commercial or a bonus carp powering off toward the far bank, the rods maintain a smooth, consistent bend. This progressive action protects the tackle, absorbs shocks, and ensures the fight remains completely under control, even at extreme distances.
Top-Quality Components
Every rod in the Acolyte Distance range features premium components to complement its high-performance blank:
Stainless-frame guides with durable inserts, reducing friction and line wear, while improving casting smoothness and distance.
Screw-down DPS-style reel seat, providing a secure, solid fit that enhances balance and control.
High-quality cork handle with EVA rear grip, giving comfort, grip, and balance during long sessions at distance.
Matte-finish low-gloss blank, with subtle graphics to avoid glare and reflectivity on bright days.
The guides are strategically spaced to reduce line tangles and ensure smooth energy transfer from blank to feeder, even on long casts.
Comfort for Long Sessions
Fishing long-range requires holding the rod in position while waiting for bites or while striking. The Acolyte Distance Feeder Rods are balanced to sit comfortably in your hand, with minimal fatigue even during extended sessions.
The lightweight blank combined with ergonomic handle design ensures effortless casting, comfortable gripping, and optimal leverage when striking or playing fish. This is essential when using heavier feeders over long distances, giving the angler maximum control without strain.
Interchangeable Quiver Tips
Each rod comes with a set of carbon quiver tips, typically ranging from 1.5oz to 5oz, perfectly matched to the blank for seamless action and sensitivity. The tips allow you to fish lighter lines for cautious bites or heavier setups when casting longer distances.
This versatility ensures that the Acolyte Distance Feeders are effective in all conditions, from small commercial lakes to deep, pressured waters where accuracy and bite detection at range are critical.
Performance Across Venues

Advanced Quiver Tips
Each rod comes supplied with a selection of high-quality carbon quiver tips that blend seamlessly into the blank. These tips have been carefully designed to match the progressive action of the rods, giving flawless bite indication without creating flat spots or stiffness where they join.
The sensitivity of these tips makes them ideal for picking up shy bites from silvers, yet they’re strong enough to handle sudden takes from bonus carp. The smooth curve into the blank helps to protect fine hooklengths, even when playing hard-fighting fish close in.

Drennan Acolyte Plus Feeder Rods — Precision, Power & Pure Control
Built on decades of Drennan innovation, the Acolyte Plus Feeder Rod range is a masterclass in balance, casting performance, and fish-playing action. Slim, lightweight, and incredibly responsive, these rods are the result of years of testing, refinement, and expertise — combining power with finesse to handle everything from silverfish and F1s to tench, chub, and carp.
Each model in the range — 10ft, 11ft, and 12ft — offers its own distinct personality, but all share the same premium construction, crisp casting feel, and parabolic action that makes the Acolyte Plus family a benchmark in modern feeder rod design. Whether you’re fishing short to islands, mid-range on commercials, or casting long to distant features, this is a range built to perform flawlessly at every level.
Designed for Power and Precision
At the heart of each Acolyte Plus Feeder is a super-slim, high-modulus carbon blank. This lightweight yet powerful material provides exceptional casting accuracy while maintaining that trademark Drennan smoothness and forgiveness. The blank loads beautifully on the cast, cutting through the air with ease, and recovers instantly for a crisp, accurate release every time.
The stand-off SiC guides are perfectly spaced to allow the line to travel smoothly, reducing friction and increasing casting distance. Combined with a Fuji reel seat and full cork handle, every component works in harmony to deliver effortless performance with a premium feel.
Matched with reel lines from 4lb to 8lb (1.8–3.6kg), the Acolyte Plus Feeder range covers everything from fine silverfish setups to powerful commercial carp gear. Each rod comes with three push-in carbon tips (1.5oz, 2oz, and 2.5oz) that blend seamlessly into the blank, providing accurate bite indication and maintaining a smooth curve under load.
Acolyte Plus 10ft Feeder – Compact Strength
The Acolyte Plus 10ft Feeder Rod is deceptively powerful for its compact size. Designed for venues where a shorter rod gives better control, it’s perfect for commercial fisheries, tight swims, and island work. Despite its modest length, it offers an impressive amount of backbone for a rod that weighs so little.
The smooth, parabolic action makes it ideal for species like tench, chub, F1s, and small to medium carp, cushioning light hooklengths while still having the strength to control powerful fish. At 10ft (3.05m), it casts beautifully with feeders up to 45g (1.5oz) and performs flawlessly up to around 40 metres.
The responsive blank and SiC guides ensure each cast is clean and controlled, while the forgiving action reduces hook pulls to a minimum. Like the rest of the range, the 10ft Plus folds into two even-length sections, making transport easy and efficient. Whether you’re targeting F1s under the rod tip or dropping a small Method feeder tight to an island, the 10ft Plus delivers performance far beyond its size.
Acolyte Plus 11ft Feeder – The All-Round Performer
The Acolyte Plus 11ft Feeder Rod strikes the perfect balance between power, versatility, and precision. It’s the all-rounder of the range — long enough to reach distant features yet short enough to retain quick responsiveness when fishing closer in.This model has a slightly stepped-up action compared to the Acolyte Ultra, giving it extra power for larger fish while maintaining a soft, parabolic curve that’s ideal for silverfish and F1s. At 11ft (3.35m), it handles feeders up to 60g (2oz) comfortably and is at home casting up to 50 metres with accuracy.
During testing, the 11ft Plus proved to be a match-winner on a wide variety of venues, handling everything from bream and tench to hard-fighting carp. The crisp, responsive blank offers pinpoint casting accuracy, while the SiC guides and fine carbon tips provide instant feedback and clean line flow.
Like the rest of the family, it’s finished with a Fuji reel seat, full cork handle, and includes neoprene rod socks and retaining bands for protection in transit. After almost two years of field testing, the 11ft Plus has been refined to perfection — a rod that casts effortlessly, plays fish beautifully, and gives you total confidence at every stage of the fight.
Acolyte Plus 12ft Feeder – Long-Range Power and Precision
The powerhouse of the range, the Acolyte Plus 12ft Feeder Rod is built for distance and control. Designed for situations that demand longer casts and more strength, it excels on large lakes, reservoirs, and rivers where precision and power are equally important.
At 12ft (3.66m), the blank is slim yet loaded with backbone, capable of casting feeders up to 60g (2oz) with ease and accuracy. With the right tackle and casting technique, ranges beyond 60 metres are easily achievable. Despite its strength, the rod remains beautifully balanced, making it comfortable to use even during long sessions.
Field testing saw the 12ft Plus land double-figure carp on Method feeder setups at range, while still showing the finesse to handle bream and tench with delicate control. The parabolic playing action ensures smooth pressure distribution, cushioning every surge and preventing hook pulls.
The stand-off SiC guides allow for smooth line travel, while the full cork handle and Fuji reel seat provide comfort and control. The rod comes supplied with three push-in carbon tips (1.5oz, 2oz, 2.5oz) that maintain the rod’s seamless curve and sensitivity.

Strength, Balance & Precision for Modern Float Anglers
The Drennan Acolyte Plus Float Rods are designed for anglers who love float fishing but need that extra backbone for larger fish, heavier floats, or more demanding venues. Sitting neatly between the Acolyte Ultra and Acolyte Specimen models, the Plus range offers the perfect balance of finesse and power — light and responsive, yet strong enough to subdue quality fish with ease.
Whether you’re fishing wagglers on stillwaters, trotting on deep rivers, or tackling commercials for F1s, bream, or carp, these rods deliver exceptional casting accuracy, smooth line control, and a fish-playing action that inspires total confidence.
The Acolyte Plus Float range combines classic Drennan craftsmanship with modern carbon technology to give anglers the perfect all-round tool for today’s float fishing.
Designed for Power and Control
The Acolyte Plus Float Rods are built for those situations where a standard match rod doesn’t quite have enough muscle. With a slightly stronger blank than the Acolyte Ultra, the Plus models let you fish confidently with heavier lines, larger floats, and bigger hooks — perfect for mixed venues where the next bite could be a 4oz roach or a 4lb tench.
Despite their added strength, they still retain the trademark Drennan finesse. The blank recovers crisply after casting, ensuring precise float placement, while the tip remains sensitive enough to cushion light hooklengths and detect delicate bites.
It’s this unique blend of control and refinement that makes the Acolyte Plus Float range a favourite among serious float anglers.
High-Performance Carbon Construction
Each Acolyte Plus Float Rod is constructed using high-modulus carbon fibre, developed by Drennan’s engineers to produce a slim, lightweight blank with exceptional responsiveness and strength.
The carbon layering and taper have been finely tuned to provide a semi-through progressive action — soft enough in the tip to protect fine lines but with a more powerful mid and butt section to handle bonus fish or deal with flow and distance.
This means the rod bends smoothly when playing fish, maintaining pressure evenly throughout the blank and reducing hook pulls, while still giving you the control and lifting power needed for larger fish and stronger flows.
Available Models
The Acolyte Plus Float range is available in 13ft and 14ft models, each designed for specific float fishing scenarios:
13ft Plus Float Rod – The perfect all-rounder for both stillwaters and light river work. Ideal for wagglers, sliders, or traditional stick floats.
14ft Plus Float Rod – Provides extra line control and casting range for deeper or faster rivers, or when fishing at distance on open stillwaters.
Both rods share the same crisp, responsive action, with the 14ft offering a touch more leverage and reach for challenging venues.
Perfect for Mixed Venues
These rods truly shine on venues where variety is the name of the game. The Acolyte Plus Float range can handle everything from light waggler work for roach and skimmers to margin float fishing for carp or tench.
The rods handle mainlines from 3lb to 6lb, with hooklengths down to 2lb if needed, and enough power to subdue quality fish without risking breakages.
This makes them ideal for anglers who fish a mix of commercials, natural lakes, and rivers — offering one rod that does it all with style and precision.
Casting Accuracy and Line Pick-Up
As with all Acolyte rods, casting performance is outstanding. The blanks recover quickly after the cast, ensuring wagglers and stick floats land accurately and consistently. The lightweight build and perfect balance make it easy to cast with precision, even at long range.
Once your float is in position, the rod’s extra power allows for fast line pick-up and positive striking, so you connect instantly with bites — crucial when fishing at distance or in choppy water.
Whether you’re laying on with a heavy stick float or fishing a slider in deep water, the Acolyte Plus Float Rods keep you in complete control of your presentation.
Fish-Playing Action
The progressive action of the Acolyte Plus Float Rods is one of their standout qualities. The rod bends smoothly and evenly, cushioning the lunges of powerful fish while maintaining constant pressure.
This makes them ideal for handling everything from small silvers to proper specimens. The forgiving tip helps prevent hook pulls, while the powerful mid and butt sections provide the strength to steer carp, tench, and chub safely to the net.
In short, these rods give you the confidence to fish fine for bites and still have the backbone to handle anything that bites back.
Premium Components and Build Quality
Drennan’s attention to detail is clear in every Acolyte Plus Float Rod. Built with the finest materials and fittings, they combine traditional elegance with modern practicality.
Key features include:
Lightweight stainless-frame guides with smooth, low-friction inserts for easy casting and line flow.
Screw-down DPS-style reel seat, giving a secure, balanced fit for your reel.
High-grade cork handle with EVA trim for comfort, grip, and durability.
Matte low-glare blank finish with subtle graphics and Drennan’s signature Acolyte detailing.
Every component has been carefully chosen to complement the rod’s light, balanced feel and deliver long-lasting performance.
Comfort and Balance
Even with the added strength of the Plus models, Drennan has maintained the effortless balance that defines the Acolyte range. These rods sit perfectly in the hand, feeling light and responsive without tip heaviness.
The cork and EVA handle combination offers excellent grip, even when wet, while the slim blank makes the rod easy to hold for long sessions. The result is a rod that’s powerful yet refined — equally suited to speed fishing for roach or playing a large carp with control and precision.
Performance on the Bank
In real fishing conditions, the Acolyte Plus Float Rods perform beautifully. Casting is effortless and accurate, float control is precise, and the blank’s recovery ensures no wobble or vibration.
The rods excel in situations where you might need to step up slightly from the ultra-fine Acolyte Ultra — for example, when using heavier wagglers, thicker lines, or targeting bigger fish.
Striking feels sharp and immediate, and once you’re into a fish, the smooth, progressive action gives total confidence. Whether you’re fishing commercials for mixed species or targeting quality fish on natural venues, the Acolyte Plus Float Rods deliver the performance you need.
Ideal Applications
The Acolyte Plus Float range is perfect for:
Commercial carp and F1 fishing with wagglers or pellet floats.
River float work for chub, roach, and dace.
Stillwater bream and tench fishing with heavier wagglers or sliders.
General mixed-species venues where flexibility is key.
They’re designed to handle the rough-and-tumble of larger fish while maintaining the refined performance and sensitivity of a true float rod.
Conclusion – The Perfect Balance of Power and Finesse
The Drennan Acolyte Plus Float Rods bridge the gap between finesse and strength, offering the ideal tool for anglers who need one rod that can handle a wide range of float fishing challenges.
Light, crisp, and perfectly balanced, yet strong and dependable under pressure, they deliver the smooth casting, precise control, and powerful fish-playing performance that serious anglers demand.

Power, Finesse, and Control for Specimen Float Anglers
The Drennan Acolyte Specimen Float Rods are built for anglers who love the traditional feel of float fishing but demand the strength, accuracy, and performance needed to handle big fish. Whether you’re targeting tench and bream on stillwaters, barbel and chub on rivers, or carp cruising the margins, these rods offer the perfect blend of power and finesse.
Ultra-light yet exceptionally strong, the Acolyte Specimen Float range is designed for modern specimen fishing with refined tackle. Each model combines high-modulus carbon construction with Drennan’s renowned progressive action, giving you complete confidence when playing quality fish on lighter lines.
Elegant, responsive, and balanced to perfection, these rods deliver smooth casting, precise control, and unmatched fish-playing ability — exactly what you’d expect from the award-winning Acolyte series.
Built for Serious Float Anglers
The Acolyte Specimen Float Rods are the result of years of development and fine-tuning by Drennan’s team of top anglers. Every detail has been designed to meet the needs of specimen float fishing — a style that demands both sensitivity and backbone.
These rods excel in situations where you might be fishing light floats for shy-biting roach and bream one day, and battling powerful tench or chub the next. The progressive through-action gives delicate presentation with lighter hooklengths yet provides plenty of strength in reserve for those surprise larger fish.
The blank recovers crisply after casting, helping floats land accurately and tangle-free. Once a fish is hooked, the smooth curve of the rod absorbs every lunge, giving you total control from strike to net.
High-Performance Carbon Construction
Each Acolyte Specimen Float Rod is crafted from high-modulus carbon fibre, the same premium material used across the Acolyte range. This ensures the blanks remain slim, light, and incredibly responsive while offering the durability needed to handle powerful fish.
The carbon has been carefully layered and reinforced to achieve a perfect balance between stiffness and flex. The result is a rod that feels crisp and lively when casting yet bends beautifully under load, preventing hook pulls and protecting light lines.
It’s this fine balance that makes the Acolyte Specimen Float Rods so versatile — equally at home on slow rivers, deep stillwaters, or commercials.
Available Models for Every Venue
The range includes 12ft, 13ft, and 14ft models, allowing you to choose the right tool for your favourite waters and methods:
12ft Specimen Float – Ideal for close- to medium-range work on stillwaters or small rivers. Perfect for tench, crucians, and smaller carp.
13ft Specimen Float – The all-rounder. Offers excellent line control and versatility for both natural and commercial venues.
14ft Specimen Float – Designed for larger venues, deep lakes, and rivers where line pick-up and long-range casting are key.
Each model has been tuned to deliver Drennan’s trademark balance, smooth action, and crisp recovery, giving you total confidence in any float-fishing situation.
Precision Casting and Float Control
Float control is at the heart of the Acolyte Specimen Float design. The rods load effortlessly for long, smooth casts and recover instantly for precise float placement.
Once your float is in the water, the length and action of the rods make it easy to control line pick-up, mend the line, and hold perfect presentation even in moving water or wind. The responsive tip helps you strike cleanly and connect instantly, turning delicate indications into solid hook-ups.
Sensitive Tip, Powerful Backbone
A key feature of the Acolyte Specimen Float Rods is the progressive through-action, which means the blank bends smoothly from tip to butt. This gives you a soft top section that cushions lunges and prevents hook pulls, while the mid and lower sections provide enough power to steer fish out of weed or away from snags.
The result is a rod that feels refined yet capable — a joy to use when catching small fish in numbers, and completely reliable when that specimen tench, bream, or chub suddenly takes the bait.
Premium Components and Build Quality
Like every Drennan Acolyte rod, the Specimen Float series is built with top-grade fittings and finished to the highest standard.
Key features include:
Lightweight, stainless-frame guides with smooth, durable inserts for effortless line flow and long casting life.
Screw-down DPS-style reel seat that holds your reel firmly, giving a solid, reliable feel.
High-grade cork handle with EVA trim for superb comfort and grip in all conditions.
Slim, low-gloss blank with understated graphics, reflecting the elegant simplicity of Drennan design.
Each rod is supplied in a quality rod sleeve and is built to last, offering the same trusted craftsmanship that has made the Acolyte series a favourite among anglers across the UK.
Performance on the Bank
On the water, these rods come alive. The lightweight build makes them effortless to use all day long, perfect for anglers who enjoy the rhythm of casting, striking, and playing fish repeatedly.
Casting is smooth and predictable — wagglers, stick floats, or sliders all fly straight and true thanks to the rod’s crisp recovery. When striking, the responsive tip ensures immediate connection without jarring light hooklengths.
Once you’re into a fish, the rod’s smooth, progressive curve gives complete control. The top section cushions headshakes from bream or crucians, while the powerful butt allows you to guide bigger fish safely to the net.
Whether you’re catching tench in the pads, chub under the far bank, or carp in the margins, the Acolyte Specimen Float makes every battle controlled, confident, and enjoyable.
Comfort and Balance for Long Sessions
Float fishing often means holding the rod for long periods, so comfort is essential. The Acolyte Specimen Float Rods are perfectly balanced, sitting comfortably in the hand with minimal fatigue even during all-day sessions.
The cork handle provides a natural grip that’s warm in winter and firm in wet weather, while the rod’s light overall weight makes it easy to fish actively — constantly feeding, striking, and netting without strain.
This careful attention to balance and ergonomics ensures the rods feel like an extension of your arm — responsive, controllable, and smooth in every movement.
Versatile and Reliable
Although designed with specimen float fishing in mind, these rods are incredibly versatile. Use them for traditional waggler work, lift-method tench fishing, trotting on rivers, or even margin fishing on commercials. Their forgiving action makes them ideal for mixed-species waters where you never quite know what might bite next.
They handle lines from 3lb to 6lb+, making them suitable for everything from delicate silvers to chunky carp and barbel.

Ultra-Light Precision for Modern Float Fishing
The Drennan Acolyte Ultra Float Rods are designed for anglers who want maximum sensitivity, precision, and finesse. These rods are ideal for delicate float fishing on commercial lakes, natural stillwaters, and rivers where detecting subtle bites is key.
Light, responsive, and perfectly balanced, the Ultra Float range lets anglers fish fine lines, small hooks, and tiny wagglers or sliders with total confidence. Whether you’re targeting roach, skimmers, crucians, or cautious carp, the rods provide crisp bite detection, effortless casting, and smooth fish-playing control.
Engineered with high-modulus carbon, the Acolyte Ultra Float Rods combine modern technology with classic Drennan craftsmanship — giving every angler a rod that’s precise, reliable, and easy to handle all day.
Built for Precision and Delicacy
The Ultra Float range is all about sensitivity and control. Each rod has been designed to give immediate feedback, allowing the angler to detect even the lightest nibble.
These rods excel when fishing very fine hooklengths and small floats, where subtle movements can make the difference between a lost bite and a solid hook-up. The ultra-light blank lets anglers present bait naturally and maintain perfect line control, even on pressured waters or in delicate margins.
At the same time, the progressive through-action ensures enough power to land larger fish, combining finesse with reliable backbone.
High-Modulus Carbon Construction
The blanks are built from premium high-modulus carbon fibre, giving a slim, lightweight profile while retaining strength and resilience.
The carbon has been carefully layered and tapered to provide a soft tip for delicate bites, while the mid and lower sections provide gentle, progressive power. This balance allows anglers to fish fine lines without fear of breakage, yet still handle a larger carp or chub when it unexpectedly takes the bait.
The result is a blank that’s both fast and responsive, perfect for technical float fishing on any venue.
Available Models
The Acolyte Ultra Float range is typically offered in 12ft, 13ft, and 14ft models, giving anglers flexibility for a range of venues:
12ft Ultra Float – Perfect for close-to-hand commercial work, small lakes, and river margins.
13ft Ultra Float – The all-rounder, ideal for stillwaters and medium-range river fishing.
14ft Ultra Float – Provides extra reach and line control for deeper waters or longer rivers.
All models feature the same light, responsive action, allowing anglers to fish delicate lines with precision while retaining the power to play fish effectively.
Exceptional Casting and Line Control
Casting with the Acolyte Ultra Float is smooth, accurate, and effortless. The blanks load easily for controlled presentations, ensuring wagglers, sliders, and stick floats land exactly where intended.
Once in the water, the rods provide perfect line control, letting you mend, pick up, and react instantly. This is especially important when trotting on rivers or fishing sensitive stillwater areas, where fine adjustments can be the difference between multiple bites or a blank session.
Even at medium distances, the rods maintain sensitivity and precision, giving anglers complete confidence in every strike.
Fish-Playing Action
Despite being ultra-light, these rods have a progressive action that allows them to handle larger specimens with ease. The soft tip cushions delicate hooklengths, while the mid and lower sections provide enough strength to guide fish safely to the net.
This makes the Ultra Float ideal for mixed-species fishing — from cautious roach and skimmers to more robust crucians, tench, and carp. The rods maintain control through every lunge and surge, making fights smooth, predictable, and enjoyable.

Lightweight stainless-frame guides with durable inserts for smooth line flow.
Screw-down DPS-style reel seat for secure, balanced performance.
High-quality cork handle with EVA trim, offering comfort and grip during long sessions.
Low-gloss, subtle blank finish with discreet Acolyte graphics for a professional look.
Every component is designed to maximise performance while ensuring comfort and durability for all-day float fishing.
Comfort and Balance
The Ultra Float Rods are perfectly balanced, feeling light and natural despite their length. The cork and EVA handle gives excellent grip in all conditions, while the slim, light blank ensures minimal fatigue during long sessions.
Anglers can strike, lift, and play fish for hours without strain, making the rods ideal for both short sessions and extended days on rivers or commercial lakes.
Perfect for Sensitive Bite Detection
One of the standout features of the Acolyte Ultra Float Rods is their exceptional sensitivity. Every nibble, tap, or twitch is transmitted clearly through the blank, giving anglers the confidence to strike accurately and consistently.
This makes them perfect for fishing delicate baits, light hooklengths, and small wagglers or sliders — situations where subtle feedback is key to success.

The Acolyte Ultra Float Rods are suitable for a wide variety of float fishing applications:
