True-Length Design: Thanks to long No.1 tip sections, you don’t lose fishable length — very efficient. PTFE Bushes in Top Kits: Every top kit has high-quality PTFE bushes to allow very smooth elastic performance. Side-Pull Compatibility: Many of the carp / double kits support side-pull for friction-free fish playing. Modular & Flexible: You can build a setup that fits your venue — mix and match kits across the range to suit match or carp styles. Reinforced Joints: Durable and built to last under high-stress commercial or carp conditions.   🛠 Practical Tips   Match elastic to your top kit: Use lighter elastic for A‑Kits, stronger for Carp Plus. Consider a ghost top for pressured waters: The ghost tip helps avoid spooking wary fish. Keep a spare top kit: Having an extra kit lets you adapt to different venues easily. Use the correct cupping adaptor: If you use a cupping kit, make sure it matches your top kit length. Care for your joints: Clean and protect the reinforced joints to prolong the pole’s life.   🔍 Highlighting Key Acolyte Pro Variant Drennan Acolyte Pro Carp Pole: This is the premium carp version of the Acolyte, built on the same strong, high‑modulus blank, but optimised for power, stiffness and large rigs. Drennan Acolyte Pro Margin Pole: A shorter 9.5m version designed for margin carp work — very stiff and strong for near-bank carp fishing. Drennan Acolyte Pro Carp Shallow Kit: A top‑kit suited to shallow swims or tight presentation, compatible with all Pro Acolyte carp poles. Here’s a comparison table showing how the Drennan Acolyte pole range stacks up against two popular competitor ranges — Preston Superium and Matrix Fireball — so you can clearly see the strengths and trade‑offs of each system.   💡 Comparison Table: Acolyte vs Superium vs Matrix Fireball   Feature Drennan Acolyte Preston Superium Matrix Fireball Pole Length Options 9.5 m, 13 m, 14.5 m, 16 m 8.5 m margin, 11 m‑13 m‑16 m in various models 13 m, 14.5 m, 16 m, long‑range match models Blank Material Very high‑modulus carbon, reinforced for stiffness High‑modulus Japanese carbon, durable wrap reinforcement Lightweight carbon, designed for match and commercial use Modularity Fully interchangeable top‑kits (match, carp, ghost, double, margin) Universal top-kit compatibility across all models Dedicated fireball / match / carp kits, but less overlap between styles Top Kit Options A‑Kit, Carp, Carp Plus, Ghost, Double 2, Margin, Shallow Match Kit, F1 Kit, Carp Kit Fireball Match Kit, Carp Kit, F1 Shallow Kit Elastic / Rig Strength Light to very heavy elastic depending on kit (especially for Carp/Plus) Medium to heavy elastics; power margin model handles strong set‑ups well Generally lighter-match rigging, suited for finesse and commercial fishing Stiffness / Sensitivity Very stiff blank – excellent strike control and rig pressure High stiffness, but with more flexibility on long distances Balanced stiffness with greater sensitivity for float or match work Best for Versatile: match, heavy carp, margin, long-pole work Full-range use: margin, match, long commercial poles Match anglers, light commercial, dedicated fireball / F1 venues Transport / Build Weight Built tough with reinforced sections – a little heavier but rugged Very balanced — good weight for stiffness-performance balance Lightweight for match style, easier to carry for regular match use Durability Excellent, thanks to reinforced wraps and strong joint design High — reinforced, easy‑ship finish helps in shipping and handling Well-built for match use, but not as heavy-duty as dedicated carp‑power models Flexibility for Upgrades High – same top‑kits can be used across nearly all Acolyte models Very high – can switch kits between superium poles easily Moderate-to-high, but kit compatibility more limited to specific fireball / match models     🔍 Summary of Key Differences Acolyte is highly versatile, ideal for anglers who want one system that can cover match, carp, and margin. Its interchangeable top kits make it a very flexible choice. Superium is a more modular “all‑rounder” system that covers everything from short margin poles to long 16 m commercial work, designed for strength and long-term use. Matrix Fireball is more match-focused, lightweight, and designed for commercial or contest anglers who want fast, precise action and may not need the raw power of full carp kits.   ✅ Final Summary The Acolyte range is Drennan’s top-flight pole system — stiff, balanced, and built for both match and carp fishing. Models range from 9.5m margin poles through to full 16m long poles, including Pro and Carp‑specific variants. Top kits are highly flexible: A‑Kits for light fish, Carp Kits for stronger work, plus Ghost, Double and Margin versions. Excellent modularity means you can build a set-up tailored to your fishing style and venues.

  • Drennan Acolyte Plus Feeder Rods | All Sizes from £199.99

    Drennan Acolyte Plus Feeder Rods | All Sizes from £199.99

    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. A two-piece design allows the 12ft Plus to be carried ready-made inside a rod sleeve or case, saving time on setup and pack-down. Drennan also includes neoprene rod socks and retaining bands, ensuring everything stays secure in transit. This rod isn’t just for commercial venues — its versatility extends to natural waters and rivers, where the extra length is ideal for mending line and controlling fish in the flow. If you’re after a rod that casts long, plays smoothly, and handles quality fish with confidence, the 12ft Plus Feeder is your perfect match. Refined Craftsmanship and Lasting Quality Each Acolyte Plus Feeder Rod showcases Drennan’s dedication to quality and performance. The finish is clean, modern, and understated, while the components are hand-picked for reliability and comfort. The cork handle gives a traditional feel, while the EVA casting grip adds durability. The Fuji reel seat locks your reel securely in place, maintaining perfect balance for both distance casting and close-in work. Every joint, guide, and finish has been engineered with care to create a rod that performs seamlessly. From the lightest tap on the tip to the heaviest pull under the rod butt, you remain in total control. In Summary The Drennan Acolyte Plus Feeder Rod range is the ultimate blend of finesse, accuracy, and strength. Whether you’re casting short, medium, or long range, there’s a model perfectly tuned to your fishing style.

The Acolyte F1–Silvers Feeder range is built to meet the demands of modern anglers who fish both natural venues and commercial fisheries.

The result is a rod that feels alive in your hands — responsive enough to detect the slightest tap or drop-back bite, yet with the power needed to handle bigger bonus fish with ease. This combination of sensitivity and strength makes the range perfect for both natural and commercial venues, whether you’re targeting silverfish in winter or bagging up on F1s in the warmer months. Beautifully Balanced and Lightweight One of the standout features of the Acolyte F1–Silvers Feeder range is the sheer lightness and balance of each model. Designed for long sessions, these rods feel effortless to use — no fatigue, no strain, just smooth casting and controlled retrieves all day long. The balance point has been carefully engineered so that the rod sits perfectly in the hand when paired with a mid-sized feeder reel. This not only improves comfort but also enhances accuracy and timing on the strike — something that’s vital when fishing for shy-biting F1s or skimmers. Versatile Range for Every Situation The Acolyte F1–Silvers Feeder range includes several lengths and casting weights to cover every feeder fishing scenario: 10ft and 11ft models are perfect for short to medium-range work on commercials or canals, offering tight casting accuracy and instant bite detection. 12ft and 13ft versions give extra distance and line pick-up for natural venues and larger lakes, ideal when fishing for bream or quality roach. Each rod is rated for light to medium feeder work, typically up to around 40g, and performs brilliantly with small Method, Hybrid, or open-end feeders. Whether you’re fishing 20 yards out or chucking to an island, there’s an Acolyte F1–Silvers model designed to do the job perfectly. 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. Premium Components and Finish Like all Drennan Acolyte rods, the F1–Silvers Feeders are finished to the highest standards. From the quality of the fittings to the precision of the guide spacing, every detail has been thought through by anglers who fish at the very top level. Key features include: Lightweight stainless frame guides with super-smooth inserts that reduce friction and line wear, helping to maximise casting distance and accuracy. Screw-down DPS reel seat, ensuring a secure fit and solid feel without any movement during casting or playing fish. High-grade cork handle with EVA rear grip, offering excellent comfort, durability, and control — even in wet or cold conditions. Discreet, classy graphics and the signature Acolyte finish, giving a premium look that reflects the rod’s performance. The attention to detail continues with the custom quiver tip fittings, reinforced joints, and perfectly aligned guides that ensure smooth line flow and consistent performance across the range. Performance on the Bank What makes the Acolyte F1–Silvers Feeder range stand out on the water is how effortlessly it performs. The rods load smoothly on the cast, delivering small feeders accurately and consistently to the same spot every time. When a bite comes, the responsive tip shows every indication — from tiny line twitches to confident pull-rounds — allowing you to strike cleanly and connect with more fish. Once hooked, the rod’s progressive action comes into play, cushioning each surge and headshake, giving you full control and reducing the risk of lost fish. Whether you’re catching small roach one a chuck or playing a surprise carp, the rod responds instantly and naturally. Ideal for Both Natural and Commercial Venues The beauty of the F1–Silvers Feeder range lies in its versatility. On natural waters, the lighter models are perfect for bream, skimmers, and roach — sensitive enough to detect the tiniest knocks while retaining the strength to handle quality fish. On commercials, the slightly stronger models excel when fishing for F1s, crucians, or small carp using light feeders and fine tackle. The forgiving tip and smooth action make these rods a joy to use on days when every bite matters Trusted by Top Anglers Developed and tested with input from Drennan’s team of match and specimen anglers, the Acolyte F1–Silvers Feeder range carries the expertise of names who know what it takes to win.

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.

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.     Built for Modern Commercial Anglers 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Striking feels crisp yet forgiving, and once hooked, the fish-playing curve takes over smoothly, keeping pressure steady right through to the net.

Whether you’re trotting big rivers like the Trent or Wye, waggler fishing on deep stillwaters, or float fishing at long range for quality roach, chub, or bream, the 17ft Acolyte offers the perfect blend of reach, balance, and power. Crafted from Drennan’s highest-grade carbon, this rod is remarkably light for its length, providing the crisp recovery, finesse, and sensitivity that Acolyte rods are famous for — all while offering the extra control only a true long rod can deliver.     Designed for Precision and Control At 17ft, this Acolyte is built to give you maximum control over your float and line, especially when fishing at distance or in deep or fast-moving water. The extra length lets you pick up line instantly, mend with ease, and maintain a perfect trot or presentation — all while keeping minimal line on the surface to reduce drag. Whether you’re running a stick float down a river or waggler fishing on a windy lake, the 17ft Acolyte lets you keep tight control from strike to net. It’s a specialist’s rod that instantly feels balanced and natural in the hand — refined, responsive, and powerful where it counts.   High-Performance Carbon Construction The Acolyte 17ft Float Rod is built using high-modulus carbon fibre, engineered to be incredibly slim, light, and strong. The advanced carbon lay-up ensures the blank retains its stiffness and crispness, even at this length, without becoming top-heavy or cumbersome. This rod is an example of precision engineering — every inch of carbon contributes to balance, recovery, and smooth action. Despite its 17ft length, it feels as light and manageable as many 15ft models, making it a joy to use all day long. The blank features a progressive through-action that bends smoothly when playing fish, protecting fine hooklengths and small hooks while still giving enough backbone to land bonus chub, tench, or even carp with confidence.     Superb Casting and Line Pick-Up When fishing long, casting precision and line control make all the difference. The Acolyte 17ft Float loads effortlessly for smooth, accurate casts and recovers crisply, ensuring your float lands perfectly every time. Once the float is in position, the additional length gives unmatched control over line pick-up. You can strike quickly and effectively at distance, lift the line cleanly off the water, and maintain direct contact with your rig — even when fishing 30 or 40 yards out. This level of control helps you hit more bites and lose fewer fish, especially when fishing in wind or flow where maintaining presentation is key.   Perfect for Rivers and Deep Stillwaters The 17ft Acolyte Float Rod has been developed specifically for anglers who fish big, flowing rivers or deep, open stillwaters where extra reach gives a clear advantage. On rivers, the extra length helps you hold the float back hard against the flow or mend line to keep perfect control of your presentation. On stillwaters, it’s equally effective when fishing deep wagglers or slider setups for bream and skimmers, allowing you to maintain accurate line angles and detect bites even in tricky conditions. From roach and dace on natural venues to chub and bream on larger rivers, this rod gives you the control needed for technical, accurate float fishing at distance.     Fish-Playing Power and Forgiving Action While the Acolyte 17ft Float is built for finesse, it’s no lightweight when it comes to handling fish. The progressive action ensures a smooth curve from tip to butt, providing the perfect balance between sensitivity and strength. The forgiving top section cushions delicate hooklengths when using small hooks, while the powerful mid and lower sections give you the authority to steer fish safely away from snags and bring them under control quickly. This balance makes it ideal for mixed fishing — from silverfish and F1s to bonus tench and chub. Every strike, cast, and fight feels smooth, controlled, and satisfying.     Premium Components and Build Quality Every aspect of the 17ft Acolyte Float Rod reflects Drennan’s renowned attention to detail and dedication to quality. Key features include: Lightweight stainless-frame guides with smooth inserts for flawless line flow. Screw-down DPS-style reel seat for a secure, balanced fit. High-grade cork handle with EVA trim, offering comfort and control in all conditions. Matte, low-gloss blank finish with understated Acolyte branding for a professional, glare-free look.   All fittings are carefully positioned for perfect balance, line control, and comfort during long sessions — every element refined to match the rod’s superb performance.   Comfort and Balance   One of the most impressive aspects of the Acolyte 17ft Float is its balance and comfort, despite its length. Thanks to the advanced carbon construction, the rod feels surprisingly light and responsive, with no tip heaviness or fatigue even during long trotting sessions. The cork handle provides a warm, natural grip, while the EVA sections offer modern durability and easy cleaning. When paired with a suitably balanced reel, the rod sits beautifully in the hand, making it easy to hold and control for hours at a time.   Performance on the Bank On the bank, the Acolyte 17ft Float performs exactly as you’d expect from a top-end Drennan rod — crisp, accurate, and perfectly responsive. Casting is effortless and controlled, with a smooth blank recovery that sends floats straight and true. Once the float lands, line pick-up is instant, allowing you to stay in complete control of the rig, even in difficult wind or flow. Bite detection is superb — you can react instantly and set the hook cleanly, even at long range. The rod’s smooth action keeps fish pinned, protecting hooklengths and absorbing lunges during the fight. It’s a rod that makes advanced float fishing feel natural and easy.   Ideal Applications   The Acolyte 17ft Float Rod is perfect for:   Trotting rivers like the Trent, Avon, or Wye for chub, dace, and roach. Waggler or slider fishing on deep lakes and reservoirs for bream and skimmers. Controlling long lines when fishing at distance on still or moving water. Match and pleasure fishing where long-range accuracy and line control are essential.   It’s a specialist tool, but one that feels instantly familiar and easy to use, giving every angler a performance edge on bigger waters.   Why Choose the Acolyte 17ft Float Rod   Drennan’s Acolyte series is known for precision, lightness, and refined power — and the 17ft Float continues that tradition at the highest level.

    Drennan Acolyte Plus Float Rods | All Sizes from £209.99

    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.

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 them perfect for fishing delicate baits, light hooklengths, and small wagglers or sliders — situations where subtle feedback is key to success.     Versatile Applications The Acolyte Ultra Float Rods are suitable for a wide variety of float fishing applications:   Commercial venues – F1s, roach, skimmers, and small carp.

The responsive blanks allow subtle wagglers, sliders, or stick floats to be fished delicately, yet provide enough strength in the mid and butt sections to play larger fish effectively. This perfect balance of finesse and backbone makes them ideal for mixed-species fishing in pressured or technical waters.   High-Modulus Carbon Construction Each rod in the Red Range is built from high-modulus carbon fibre, resulting in a slim, lightweight, yet incredibly strong blank. The rods feature a progressive action, with soft tips for sensitivity and stronger mid-to-butt sections for power and control. This means fine lines and small floats can be fished confidently, while still having the authority to subdue larger carp, tench, or bream when needed. The combination of lightness, strength, and precision ensures the Red Range rods are easy to handle over long sessions, with minimal fatigue.     Available Models and Lengths The Red Range Float Rods are available in a variety of lengths to suit different venues and techniques: 12ft Model – Ideal for short to medium-range float fishing on smaller commercial lakes and rivers. 13ft Model – The versatile all-rounder, suited to stillwaters and medium-distance river work. 14ft Model – Extra reach and control for longer rivers, large lakes, or deep waters. All models feature the same crisp, responsive action, allowing accurate float placement and controlled line management in every situation.   Casting Precision and Line Control Accurate casting is key in float fishing, and the Red Range excels in this area. The rods load smoothly on the cast, sending wagglers and sliders exactly where intended. The progressive action ensures smooth delivery of the float, reducing bounce and spillage, while allowing precise control over line tension and float movement. Even at longer distances, anglers can strike quickly and maintain full control of the fish once hooked.   Fish-Playing Action The progressive action of the Red Range Float Rods allows for smooth, controlled fish playing. The tip section absorbs sudden runs and lunges, protecting delicate hooklengths and small hooks, while the mid and butt sections provide the strength to guide fish safely to the net. This makes the rods suitable for both small silvers and larger specimens, giving anglers confidence that they can play fish effectively without risking damage to tackle or losing bites.     Premium Components Drennan has equipped the Red Range Float Rods with high-quality components to complement the blank: Stainless-frame guides with smooth inserts, ensuring effortless line flow.

Designed for precision casting, smooth fish-playing action, and all-day comfort, these rods are ideal for targeting bream, skimmers, chub, tench, and small to medium carp.   Overview Available in both 11ft and 12ft versions, the Vertex Medium Feeder offers the perfect blend of casting power and sensitivity. The shorter 11ft model is excellent for tighter swims and distances up to around 40 metres, while the 12ft version gives a little more reach and control, comfortably casting to 50 metres. Both models share the same balanced, progressive action that absorbs lunges and minimises hook pulls, making them perfect for modern commercial and natural venues alike.   Construction and Components The rod’s high-modulus carbon blank gives it an incredibly crisp, responsive feel, with power in reserve for when you need it. The SiC line guides are lightweight, durable, and designed for smooth line flow to aid casting accuracy.

The handle features a combination of cork and EVA, offering both comfort and control even during long sessions.

This gives the rod the perfect combination of sensitivity and strength — sensitive enough to pick up shy bites from skimmers, but with enough backbone to subdue strong fish like tench or small carp. The 11ft version excels on smaller lakes, canals, and tight pegs where accuracy and soft presentation are vital. The 12ft version is slightly more powerful, handling longer casts and slightly heavier feeders with ease. Both lengths comfortably handle feeders up to 45g and are best paired with mainlines between 4lb and 6lb, depending on conditions and species.   Supplied Quiver Tips Each Vertex Medium Feeder comes with two interchangeable quiver tips — a 1.5oz glass tip and a 2.5oz carbon tip. These cover most situations from light silverfish work to slightly heavier feeders for bream or chub. The tips offer smooth recovery and excellent bite detection, and additional tips can be purchased to suit specific venues or conditions.   On the Bank The rod’s action really comes into its own when playing fish.

The blank loads smoothly during the cast, releasing power in a controlled, accurate way — ideal for placing feeders precisely over baited spots. Whether you’re fishing a stillwater, a small river, or a commercial lake, the rod delivers consistent, controlled performance.   Where It Excels   Stillwaters and Commercial Fisheries Perfect for targeting bream, skimmers, and F1s where accuracy and a soft, forgiving action are key. It casts easily up to around 45–50 metres and is ideal for method, pellet, or cage feeder setups.   Rivers and Natural Venues The rod handles small to medium rivers comfortably, with enough power to cast feeders across the flow and control fish in the current. It’s especially suited to chub, dace, and bream fishing.   Versatile Species Range The Vertex medium Feeder is a true all-rounder, happy handling everything from shy-biting silvers to tench and carp into double figures. Its balanced action makes it forgiving enough for light work yet tough enough when the pressure’s on.   Comparison Within the Vertex Range Within the Vertex series, the Medium Feeder sits neatly between the Light and Distance models: Model Length Casting Range Feeder Weight Ideal Use Vertex Light Feeder 10–11ft Up to 35m Up to 30g Small lakes, canals, roach and skimmers Vertex Medium Feeder 11–12ft Up to 50m Up to 45g All-round stillwater and light river fishing Vertex Distance Feeder 12–13ft 60m+ 60g+ Long-range and big fish venues This makes the Medium Feeder the perfect middle ground for anglers who want one rod to cover most UK conditions.     Pros and Cons   ✅ Advantages Superb balance of sensitivity and power. High-quality blank and fittings for long life. Smooth, controlled casting with great accuracy. Soft action reduces hook pulls. Versatile enough for both commercials and rivers. Comfortable cork/EVA handle design.   ⚠️ Considerations Not designed for extreme long-range or heavy feeders (for that, choose the Distance model). Two-piece construction means longer transport length than telescopic alternatives. Slightly higher price point than entry-level feeder rods, though the performance justifies it.   Recommended Setups Reel Size: 3000–4000 class with a smooth drag. Mainline: 4–6lb mono, or 8–10lb braid with a shock leader. Hooklengths: 0.10–0.16mm depending on target species. Feeders: 20–45g cage, pellet, or method feeders. Venues: Commercials, lakes, canals, small to medium rivers.   Who It’s For   The Vertex Medium Feeder is perfect for: Pleasure anglers looking for one rod to cover most UK venues. Club match anglers who fish commercials and natural venues. Anglers targeting a mixed bag of species from roach and skimmers to tench and carp. Those upgrading from entry-level feeder rods and wanting more refinement and sensitivity.   Buying Advice When choosing between the two models: Go for the 11ft version if you mostly fish small lakes, canals, or tight swims. Choose the 12ft version if you need a little more casting distance or fish bigger venues. It’s worth pairing the rod with a quality reel that matches its balance — too heavy a reel will upset its delicate feel, while too light may reduce casting control. A mid-range 3000–4000 reel is ideal. Also, consider investing in a few extra quiver tips for different conditions. Light tips work best in winter for shy feeders, while stiffer carbon tips are ideal for summer carp sessions or rivers with flow. Verdict The Drennan Vertex Medium Feeder Rods stand out as some of the most reliable and enjoyable medium-range feeder rods available in their class. They combine quality construction, perfect balance, and versatility, making them suitable for almost any coarse angler in the UK. For anglers who fish a mix of commercials, lakes, and small rivers — and want a rod that can cast accurately, detect delicate bites, and handle hard-fighting fish — the Vertex Medium Feeder is hard to beat. It’s not the heaviest, lightest, or most expensive rod on the market, but it’s one of the most well-rounded and dependable tools you can own for general feeder fishing.   In short: If you want a rod that can handle most UK feeder fishing situations, looks and feels premium, and performs beautifully on the bank, the Drennan Vertex Medium Feeder is a superb choice. It’s a genuine all-rounder that bridges the gap between finesse and power — and once you fish with it, you’ll understand why so many anglers trust the Vertex name.
