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.

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.

Casting Accuracy and Range
Precision is key when fishing for tench and bream, and these rods excel in accuracy. The blank loads progressively, ensuring controlled power delivery for both short underarm flicks and long, flat casts across stillwaters.
The crisp tip recovery ensures minimal wobble and a straight, accurate line, allowing you to land feeders or floats quietly and exactly where you want them—even at range.

The Ultimate Tool for Line Control and Long-Distance Float Fishing
The Drennan Acolyte 17ft Float Rod is the flagship model in Drennan’s renowned Acolyte float range — a beautifully balanced, ultra-light, and perfectly responsive rod designed for anglers who demand absolute precision and control at distance.
Whether you’re trotting big rivers like the Trent or Wye, waggler fishing on deep stillwaters, or float fishing at long range for quality roach, chub, or bream, the 17ft Acolyte offers the perfect blend of reach, balance, and power.
Crafted from Drennan’s highest-grade carbon, this rod is remarkably light for its length, providing the crisp recovery, finesse, and sensitivity that Acolyte rods are famous for — all while offering the extra control only a true long rod can deliver.
Designed for Precision and Control
At 17ft, this Acolyte is built to give you maximum control over your float and line, especially when fishing at distance or in deep or fast-moving water. The extra length lets you pick up line instantly, mend with ease, and maintain a perfect trot or presentation — all while keeping minimal line on the surface to reduce drag.
Whether you’re running a stick float down a river or waggler fishing on a windy lake, the 17ft Acolyte lets you keep tight control from strike to net. It’s a specialist’s rod that instantly feels balanced and natural in the hand — refined, responsive, and powerful where it counts.
High-Performance Carbon Construction
The Acolyte 17ft Float Rod is built using high-modulus carbon fibre, engineered to be incredibly slim, light, and strong. The advanced carbon lay-up ensures the blank retains its stiffness and crispness, even at this length, without becoming top-heavy or cumbersome.
This rod is an example of precision engineering — every inch of carbon contributes to balance, recovery, and smooth action. Despite its 17ft length, it feels as light and manageable as many 15ft models, making it a joy to use all day long.
The blank features a progressive through-action that bends smoothly when playing fish, protecting fine hooklengths and small hooks while still giving enough backbone to land bonus chub, tench, or even carp with confidence.
Superb Casting and Line Pick-Up
When fishing long, casting precision and line control make all the difference. The Acolyte 17ft Float loads effortlessly for smooth, accurate casts and recovers crisply, ensuring your float lands perfectly every time.
Once the float is in position, the additional length gives unmatched control over line pick-up. You can strike quickly and effectively at distance, lift the line cleanly off the water, and maintain direct contact with your rig — even when fishing 30 or 40 yards out.
This level of control helps you hit more bites and lose fewer fish, especially when fishing in wind or flow where maintaining presentation is key.
Perfect for Rivers and Deep Stillwaters
The 17ft Acolyte Float Rod has been developed specifically for anglers who fish big, flowing rivers or deep, open stillwaters where extra reach gives a clear advantage.
On rivers, the extra length helps you hold the float back hard against the flow or mend line to keep perfect control of your presentation. On stillwaters, it’s equally effective when fishing deep wagglers or slider setups for bream and skimmers, allowing you to maintain accurate line angles and detect bites even in tricky conditions.
From roach and dace on natural venues to chub and bream on larger rivers, this rod gives you the control needed for technical, accurate float fishing at distance.
Fish-Playing Power and Forgiving Action
While the Acolyte 17ft Float is built for finesse, it’s no lightweight when it comes to handling fish. The progressive action ensures a smooth curve from tip to butt, providing the perfect balance between sensitivity and strength.
The forgiving top section cushions delicate hooklengths when using small hooks, while the powerful mid and lower sections give you the authority to steer fish safely away from snags and bring them under control quickly.
This balance makes it ideal for mixed fishing — from silverfish and F1s to bonus tench and chub. Every strike, cast, and fight feels smooth, controlled, and satisfying.
Premium Components and Build Quality
Every aspect of the 17ft Acolyte Float Rod reflects Drennan’s renowned attention to detail and dedication to quality.
Key features include:
Lightweight stainless-frame guides with smooth inserts for flawless line flow.
Screw-down DPS-style reel seat for a secure, balanced fit.
High-grade cork handle with EVA trim, offering comfort and control in all conditions.
Matte, low-gloss blank finish with understated Acolyte branding for a professional, glare-free look.
All fittings are carefully positioned for perfect balance, line control, and comfort during long sessions — every element refined to match the rod’s superb performance.
Comfort and Balance
One of the most impressive aspects of the Acolyte 17ft Float is its balance and comfort, despite its length. Thanks to the advanced carbon construction, the rod feels surprisingly light and responsive, with no tip heaviness or fatigue even during long trotting sessions.
The cork handle provides a warm, natural grip, while the EVA sections offer modern durability and easy cleaning. When paired with a suitably balanced reel, the rod sits beautifully in the hand, making it easy to hold and control for hours at a time.
Performance on the Bank
On the bank, the Acolyte 17ft Float performs exactly as you’d expect from a top-end Drennan rod — crisp, accurate, and perfectly responsive.
Casting is effortless and controlled, with a smooth blank recovery that sends floats straight and true. Once the float lands, line pick-up is instant, allowing you to stay in complete control of the rig, even in difficult wind or flow.
Bite detection is superb — you can react instantly and set the hook cleanly, even at long range. The rod’s smooth action keeps fish pinned, protecting hooklengths and absorbing lunges during the fight. It’s a rod that makes advanced float fishing feel natural and easy.
Ideal Applications
The Acolyte 17ft Float Rod is perfect for:
Trotting rivers like the Trent, Avon, or Wye for chub, dace, and roach.
Waggler or slider fishing on deep lakes and reservoirs for bream and skimmers.
Controlling long lines when fishing at distance on still or moving water.
Match and pleasure fishing where long-range accuracy and line control are essential.
It’s a specialist tool, but one that feels instantly familiar and easy to use, giving every angler a performance edge on bigger waters.

Drennan Supplex (100m) — the 100-metre spool that keeps you in the game from the first cast. For anglers who want length on a single spool, this is the simple, reliable option to reach for on the bank.
Brand: Drennan
Product line: Supplex
Length: 100m
With 100 metres at your disposal, you’ve got plenty of line to work with between bites. No need to faff about re-spooling mid-session. You can tie on rigs, make length adjustments, and swap components as needed without a constant trip to the tackle box. The long length is handy when you’re trying out new setups or when you want to practice a few different approaches in one session. It’s a straightforward, no-nonsense addition to your kit that keeps you fishing rather than fiddling.
Drennan Carp Float Fish (100m) packs length and reliability into one solid spool. For carp anglers on the bank, that matters. The 100m length gives you room to run multiple rigs and tweak depth without constantly re-spooling. The USP is clear: more line means more options, fewer trips back to the spool, and steadier, tighter presentation when the bite arrives. Designed with long sessions in mind, it helps you keep the bait looking natural and your line steady in the water, even as conditions shift and bites come in the mix.
Brand: Drennan
Product type: Carp Float
Length: 100m
Intended use: Carp fishing
Key benefits: Having 100m to hand means you can set up multiple rigs, adjust for depth, and stay out on the water without constant re-spooling. The build stays steady, helping you present the bait cleanly and keep the bite in sight during a long session.
Benefits: With a generous 100 metres at your disposal, you’re not tied to one spot or one depth. You can lay out several swims in a single session, trying different depths or bait placements to find where the carp are feeding. The ability to switch rigs without stopping to reel in and rethread saves valuable minutes on the bank, especially when the bite is on. The steady build of the line helps maintain a clean, controlled presentation, letting the bait sit naturally in the swim rather than looking obvious or snaggy. That calm, consistent line helps you read subtle takes and keep the bite in sight, so you’re not chasing shadows when a fish moves in. For anglers who measure a session in hours rather than minutes, this product offers dependable performance from first light to last cast. It’s a practical choice for those who value reliability on busy bank days and long sessions alike. In short, this line gives you peace of mind: more line, more options, and a steadier hand when you’re waiting for that telltale nibble to become a proper take. It’s tailored for carp fishing and designed to stay true under a range of conditions, helping you stay out and stay in control until the success comes.
The Drennan Power Pull Control Core Pole Elastic (6m) combines a 6m length with a control core to give pole anglers steady, controlled elasticity.
Brand: Drennan
Product line: Power Pull
Type: Pole elastic
Length: 6m
Core: Control Core
For pole anglers, the 6m length provides flexibility when setting up rigs, offering enough elastic to cover a range of casting and playing scenarios.

The Power Pull name hints at robust, responsive elasticity, giving you a reliable feel when you strike and when you apply pressure through a long fight. With these features, you can expect smoother line management and a more confident grip on the action, whether you’re fishing a quiet day on the bank or a busy session with bites coming fast. The combination of length and core construction is aimed at providing a balance between suppleness and stiffness, so you won’t feel over-stretched or under-supported at crucial moments. This makes it a practical choice for anglers who value consistency and straightforward handling on the water. In addition, the Drennan brand is well-regarded in fishing circles, and this Power Pull model reflects that focus on dependable gear for pole fishing. Tight lines, mate, when you have gear you can trust.
