Description
Sensitivity, Precision & Quiver Tip Performance
The Drennan Specialist Quiver Tip Rods are designed for serious coarse anglers who need extreme bite detection, control, and versatility. These rods excel on rivers, canals, and commercial lakes, providing the perfect combination of sensitive tips and strong progressive action for playing fish of all sizes.
Whether fishing for roach, chub, bream, or carp, the Specialist Quiver Tips offer pinpoint accuracy, reliable casting, and smooth fish-playing performance. Perfect for long-range feeder work or delicate bite detection, they are a must-have for modern UK coarse anglers.
Purpose-Built for Quiver Tip Fishing
These rods are engineered to maximise the advantages of quiver tip fishing, providing instant feedback on the lightest bites.
The sensitive carbon tip flexes and transmits movement clearly, while the progressive mid and butt sections give the strength to control hooked fish. This combination makes it ideal for rivers with flowing water or stillwater venues where subtle bites can be easily missed.
High-Quality Carbon Blank
Each Specialist Quiver Tip Rod features a high-modulus carbon blank, keeping it light, responsive, and durable.
The blank ensures smooth power transfer, accurate casting, and crisp tip recovery, while the slim design reduces fatigue during long sessions. Despite their sensitivity, these rods retain the backbone required to subdue medium to large fish safely.
Models and Lengths
The Specialist Quiver Tip range is available in multiple lengths to suit different conditions and venues:
-
11ft Quiver Tip Rod – Perfect for close to medium-range work on canals or rivers.
-
12ft Quiver Tip Rod – Ideal for slightly longer distances, offering extra reach and control.
-
13ft Quiver Tip Rod – Built for long-range feeder work and larger venues, providing the power to handle bigger fish.
Each rod comes with interchangeable carbon quiver tips to adjust sensitivity according to conditions and target species.
Casting and Accuracy
The rods’ progressive action allows smooth, controlled casting of feeders, leads, or rigs.
The responsive tip ensures accurate float or feeder placement, while the rod’s balance provides excellent control over line pickup and strike detection. Whether you’re fishing in tight swims or casting for distance, the rods offer precision and consistency.
