Precision, Power and Versatility for Carp Anglers
The Drennan Red Range Carp Feeder Rods are built for modern carp anglers who demand accuracy, power, and control at all ranges. Designed for commercial lakes, rivers, and large reservoirs, these rods deliver the perfect balance between casting distance, bite detection, and fish-playing performance.
Whether you’re targeting F1 carp, bonus specimens, or mixed-species venues, the Red Range Carp Feeders are engineered to give anglers confidence in every cast, smoothness in every fight, and reliability over extended sessions. Lightweight yet powerful, they combine high-quality carbon blanks with top-class components, making them an ideal choice for serious carp anglers.
Purpose-Built for Carp Feeder Fishing
Feeder fishing for carp requires precision, strength, and subtlety. The Red Range Carp Feeders are designed to handle all types of feeder work — from light Method and Hybrid rigs to heavier open-end feeders for distant spots.
The rods load beautifully on the cast, allowing accurate placement of your bait, while the progressive action ensures that even sudden runs from carp are absorbed smoothly. The balance of sensitivity and power gives anglers the ability to detect even the lightest bites while retaining total control when playing larger fish.
High-Modulus Carbon Construction
Drennan has used high-modulus carbon fibre to craft the Red Range Carp Feeders, producing slim, strong, and lightweight blanks.
The carbon lay-up is optimised for progressive through-action, giving soft tips for precise bite detection and firm mid-to-butt sections for smooth fish-playing. This construction allows anglers to cast long distances with heavier feeders while maintaining control and protecting fine hooklengths and small hooks.
Despite the power on offer, the rods remain remarkably light and responsive, reducing fatigue during long sessions on the bank.
Available Models and Specifications
The Red Range Carp Feeder Rods are available in a selection of lengths, typically including 12ft, 13ft, and 14ft models, each optimised for different fishing scenarios:
-
12ft Model – Perfect for mid-range casting on smaller lakes and short river sections.
-
13ft Model – The all-rounder, ideal for a variety of feeder setups and medium distances.
-
14ft Model – Maximum reach and control for large lakes, deep rivers, or pressured venues.
All models accommodate lines from 4lb to 10lb, with casting weights ranging up to 80g, giving anglers flexibility for different feeders, baits, and carp sizes.
Casting Performance
Casting precision is critical in carp feeder fishing, and the Red Range excels in this area.
The rods load smoothly on the cast, sending feeders accurately to target spots, whether using Method, Hybrid, or open-end feeder rigs. The progressive action ensures the bait lands consistently without bouncing or snagging, reducing the chance of spooking wary carp.
Even at longer ranges, the rod maintains line control and stability, allowing for accurate strikes and precise feeding presentations.
Fish-Playing and Progressive Action
Once a carp takes your bait, the Red Range’s progressive through-action comes into play.
The soft tip cushions sudden runs and lunges, preventing hook-pulls, while the strong mid and butt sections provide the power to control larger fish safely. This allows anglers to play fish efficiently and confidently, whether it’s a mid-sized F1 or a bonus carp over 10lb.
The rods’ action is balanced for all-round performance, combining sensitivity for subtle bites with enough strength to handle powerful fish.

The combination of cork and EVA provides a secure, comfortable grip, while the slim blank ensures minimal fatigue when casting repeatedly or holding the rod during long plays. Anglers can fish all day with confidence, knowing the rod will perform consistently.
