Precision, Balance and Control for Serious Float Anglers
The Drennan Red Range Float Rods are designed for anglers who demand accuracy, sensitivity, and confidence when float fishing. Built for commercial lakes, natural stillwaters, and rivers, these rods combine ultra-responsive carbon blanks with premium components, providing perfect balance, precise bite detection, and smooth fish-playing performance.
Whether you’re trotting rivers for chub, dace, or roach, or waggler fishing for bream and F1 carp on larger lakes, the Red Range Float Rods give anglers complete control over line and float at all distances. Lightweight yet strong, these rods deliver effortless casting, delicate presentation, and reliable fish-playing power
Designed for Accuracy and Sensitivity
Float fishing is all about presentation and bite detection. The Red Range Float Rods are engineered to provide immediate feedback on even the lightest nibble, while giving anglers the confidence to strike cleanly.
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.

Comfort and Balance
The Red Range Float Rods are perfectly balanced, despite their length and strength. The combination of cork and EVA handles gives a secure, comfortable grip, even in wet conditions, while the lightweight blank ensures minimal fatigue during long fishing sessions.
Anglers can hold, cast, and strike with ease, making them ideal for long sessions on rivers or stillwaters where precision and endurance are key.
