Guru NEW A Class 2.9m Landing Net Handle
The Guru A Class 2.9m landing net handle gives you the reach and control to land big carp safely and quickly. Built for modern carp and specimen work, it balances stiffness with light weight for confident netting at range and in tricky margins, with a matt, non-reflective finish to stay low profile in clear water.
Length: 2.9m reach enables you to net from bank, boat, or mid-swim, letting you place the net where the fish are without crowding your line or spooking it in shallow or weed-prone spots. This extra reach helps you follow the fish into quieter water and reduces the need to wade in or lean over risky terrain.
Blank construction: High-modulus composite blank delivers a true balance of strength and lightness. The stiff butt section provides power when guiding heavy carp to the net, while the slim shaft keeps handling quick and precise even when the fish makes sudden moves or runs deep into margins.
Finish: Matt, non-reflective finish minimises glare and reflections, helping you stay stealthy when carp are wary in clear water. The subdued look also shields the setup from the eye of fish at longer distances, which can be crucial in pressured fisheries.
Net head fitting: Robust metal thread and seat are designed to take standard large nets and screw easily into common net heads. The threaded end accepts most modern net heads for quick swaps during a session, so you can adapt without fuss if conditions or targets change.
Weight & balance: Lightweight construction reduces fatigue over long sessions, while the balanced design gives you steady control in and out of the water. The combination of weight and stiffness helps you keep the net steady as you guide the fish toward the blanket of the net, reducing the risk of fish escaping during the lift.
Grip: Ergonomic rear section provides a secure, comfortable grip that stays confident even when hands are wet. The shape and texture are tuned for repeated scoops and changes in hand position as you move through different angles and distances.
Durability: Rugged build and durable finish stand up to regular use with large nets and frequent net head replacements. The threading and seat are built for longevity, giving you dependable performance across many sessions without constant maintenance.
Versatility: Practical length covers margins, gravel bars, and mid-swim work, and it’s suitable for bank or boat setups. The handle integrates well with big rubber nets and carp mesh, enabling you to adapt your gear to different fish and environments without swapping the entire rig.
Maintenance: Simple aftercare keeps the threads clean and rust-free. Rinse with freshwater after use in dirty water, dry the threads before storage, and store the handle in a protective tube or padded compartment to prevent knocks and ensure quick, trouble-free setup next time.
The Guru A Class 2.9m landing net handle is a practical, professional tool designed to help you land large carp more efficiently. It combines reach, stiffness, and lightness with a understated finish and solid net-head compatibility, making it a reliable choice for serious anglers who expect consistent results from bank or boat sessions.

Float & rig compatibility: Floats sized for distance and current; pellet waggler floats are ideal, and the rod accepts pellet drop-perch-style rigs, small cages or bead rigs for versatile presentations.
Practical setup tips: Practice casting the pellet waggler unladen to feel balance; fine-tune float weight to match wind and distance; use a long, thin hooklink for subtle pellet presentation; keep spares of tips to adapt to differing bite strengths and float loads.
Care & maintenance: Rinse after dirty conditions and dry thoroughly; protect tips and guides during transport with a tube or sleeve; check reel seat and guides after heavy use for wear and tear.
In use, this rod shines when you need distance without compromising bite awareness.

This helps you plant heavy method feeders and spod parcels with precision, even when the wind and water push back. The rod's progressive action and reinforced mid-butt give you the backbone to manage long fights and big carp, while remaining sensitive enough to detect feeds and light takes. The increased line capacity and strong guides make braid or heavy mono travel cleanly at speed, letting you push to far marks without sacrificing bite detection or control. Practically, that means more consistent results across sessions where distance is the deciding factor, whether you're fishing large lakes or reservoirs with deep margins or currents. For distance anglers, combining long-range spod work and method feeder placement helps you build feeding zones at distance, improving your odds of locating feeding fish on the first pass and sustaining pressure over longer sessions. Pair this rod with the recommended tackle setup to maximise performance: mainline 15–40 lb braid or heavy mono; method weights from 60g; a 5000–6000 sized reel with a smooth drag; and heavy hooklinks 20–50 lb. Keep your gear protected by rinsing guides after sandy or gritty sessions and storing the rod in a padded tube to cushion knocks in transit.

🧭 How to Choose the Right One
For small to medium lakes, canals or finesse float work: go for the 13′ Light.
For larger venues, or if you expect to cast heavier floats or fish bigger species: pick the 13′ Medium.
If you fish wide lakes, rivers with flow, or want longer reach and extra control: choose the 14′ Medium.
Also match the action (Light vs Medium) to how heavy your float setups are, what species you target, and how far you need to cast.
🔍 Pros & Considerations
Pros:
Excellent value for money with premium features.
Light and responsive blank ideal for float work.
Good length and action options for different float scenarios.
Considerations:
Large lengths (14′) may be less practical in very tight swims or when transport space is limited.
If you fish extremely heavy floats or very long cast distances, you may benefit from something with even stronger casting weight or longer length.
Always pair with the right reel, line and float setup to make the most of the rod’s performance.

Drennan Vertex Medium Feeder Rods
The Drennan Vertex Medium Feeder Rods are beautifully balanced tools built for anglers who enjoy refined feeder fishing on stillwaters, canals, and moderate rivers. 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. Each rod comes fitted with a quality reel seat, ensuring a secure hold on your reel and excellent balance in the hand.
The handle features a combination of cork and EVA, offering both comfort and control even during long sessions. The rods are supplied in a two-piece configuration, making them easy to transport while maintaining excellent performance once assembled.
Performance and Action
The Vertex Medium Feeder has a forgiving tip that blends seamlessly into a progressively powerful mid-section. 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 tip cushions sudden lunges, helping prevent line breaks and hook pulls, while the mid and butt sections provide enough power to turn and control fish heading for cover. The result is a rod that feels responsive, forgiving, and incredibly enjoyable to use.
It’s also a superb casting tool. 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.

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

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.
