Accuracy, Balance & Carp Waggler Performance
The Drennan Vertex Carp Waggler Rods are designed for modern UK carp anglers who demand precision, power, and smooth fish-playing action when using wagglers on commercial lakes or natural waters.
With high-quality carbon blanks, a progressive action, and premium fittings, these rods provide accurate casting, perfect float presentation, and reliable control when playing carp of all sizes. Whether you’re targeting F1s in tight swims or big carp at distance, the Vertex Carp Waggler range gives you confidence and performance in every cast.
Purpose-Built for Carp Waggler Fishing
These rods are engineered specifically for waggler fishing for carp. The progressive action allows for smooth casting, protecting hooklengths while delivering accurate presentations at distance.
The responsive tip offers excellent bite detection, while the mid and butt sections provide the power needed to subdue larger carp, making these rods ideal for both short-range margin work and longer casts to open water features.
High-Quality Carbon Blanks
The Vertex Carp Waggler Rods are built from high-modulus carbon fibre, keeping the blank slim, lightweight, and strong.
This material allows for crisp tip recovery and smooth power transfer, giving anglers precise control over the float and confident fish-playing ability. Despite their strength, the rods are light and balanced, reducing fatigue during long sessions.
Models and Lengths
The Vertex Carp Waggler range includes multiple lengths to suit different venues:
-
12ft Waggler Rod – Ideal for medium-range work on lakes or tight commercial swims.
-
13ft Waggler Rod – Built for longer-range fishing, offering extra reach and control for big carp.
-
14ft Waggler Rod – Perfect for long-distance presentations and deep water, where reach and power are key.
Each model has been designed to give the best possible action for its intended range and conditions.
Casting and Accuracy
With a progressive, smooth action, these rods allow anglers to cast wagglers accurately and consistently, whether fishing close in or at distance.
The responsive tip ensures the float lands gently and detects subtle bites, while the rod’s balance and recovery allow for precise feeding and controlled line management.
