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.

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.

Drennan Pushstop Hair Rigs Carp Match — reliable carp hair rigs with a push-stop bead system that keeps bait secure and your rig simple for match anglers. Built for carp fishing where consistency and speed matter, these rigs help you stay in the game from first bite to last.
System: Pushstop bead system to secure the bait on the hair
Target species: Carp
Application: Designed for match fishing conditions to support quick, reliable rig changes
Brand: Drennan
Rig type: Hair rig format that positions bait on the hair for presentation
Versatility: Compatible with common carp baits used in matches
These rigs offer a range of practical benefits for carp match fishing. The hair rig concept places the bait just off the hook, which helps carp take the bait with less resistance and gives you a cleaner chance of a hook-up. The Pushstop bead system secures the bait on the hair, making bait changes fast and reducing rig stress when you're switching swims or trying a new bait in a hurry. Because the setup emphasises simple, repeatable rigging, you can kit up quickly after a long walk round the lake and spend more time watching the rod tip rather than fiddling with fiddly connections. In matches, where every minute counts, having rigs that perform consistently across sessions helps you maintain a steady bite sequence and reduce downtime between casts. The Drennan name adds reassurance that you’re using a mainstream, trusted component of your tackling, designed with carp anglers in mind and tested under common conditions seen on lakes and pit systems. The hair rig format also contributes to stable presentation in low light or windy conditions, where bait placement can be critical. These rigs are designed to work with a broad range of carp baits, from small pellets to boilies and natural baits, giving you flexibility to adapt as feeding patterns shift during a session. They’re compact to carry, easy to store, and resilient enough to stand up to the rigs and reels used in weekend club matches or longer sessions on busy venues. By incorporating a familiar setup into your tackle box, you can keep your focus on watercraft, reading the water, and timing your bites rather than wrestling with delicate knots or tangled gear. In short, these rigs aim to deliver consistent bait presentation, quick adaptability, and dependable performance when the pressure is on during carp matches. For best results on weedy venues, keep the hair length short to limit weed snag; in clearer waters, lengthen the hair slightly to enhance bait exposure; and practice with a few rigs to understand bite timing and hook-up tendencies before heading out for a big day.

Once a carp takes your bait, the rods’ progressive action provides smooth and controlled fish-playing performance.
The soft tip absorbs sudden runs and lunges, protecting delicate hooklengths, while the stronger mid and butt sections provide the power to subdue larger fish. This balance makes the rods suitable for both smaller F1s and bonus carp, giving anglers confidence on every bite.
Premium Components and Build Quality
The Red Range Waggler Rods feature high-quality fittings to complement their performance:
Stainless-frame guides with smooth inserts for consistent line flow.
DPS-style screw-down reel seat for a secure and balanced reel fit.
Cork handle with EVA rear grip, offering comfort and support during long sessions.
Low-gloss, subtle blank finish, with Red Range branding for a professional look.
All components are positioned to provide maximum balance, comfort, and efficiency during casting, striking, and playing fish.
Comfort and Balance
These rods are perfectly balanced for extended sessions, with a lightweight design that reduces arm fatigue.
The combination of cork and EVA provides a comfortable and secure grip in all conditions, while the slim, high-modulus blank ensures ease of handling during repeated casts or prolonged fights with carp. Anglers can fish confidently and comfortably all day long.
Applications and Versatility
The Red Range Carp Waggler Rods are suitable for a variety of venues and fishing styles,
Commercial lakes – Waggler fishing for F1 carp, bream, and bonus carp.
Rivers – Precise waggler presentation for chub, carp, and barbel.
Stillwaters and reservoirs – Long-range waggler work for distant fish.

Drennan Float Fish (100m) is the float fishing line built for serious anglers, and its standout USP is the long 100m spool that lets you stay out longer and cast more without constant re-spooling. If you’re paddling up to the bank for a full day or planning a session with several rigs in play, this line gives you the length and reliability to keep you in the game from first cast to last. It’s the kind of gear that makes your float setups feel effortless, so you can focus on reading the water and placing baits with confidence.
Brand: Drennan
Length: 100m spool
Recommended use: Float fishing setups
Long spool advantage: The 100m length lets you stay out longer between re-spools and work multiple rigs in a session.
Pairing and presentation: It pairs well with float setups, aiding smooth line retrieval and stable presentation for confident, all-day sessions.
Target angler: For serious float anglers seeking reliable performance and reduced downtime on the bank
When you’re float fishing, every metre counts. This line’s generous 100m spool means fewer breaks to wind in a new length, which translates to more casts, more opportunities, and more time spent staying out where the bite is. It’s particularly handy when you’re running multiple rigs in a single session — you can keep switching rigs without sprinting back to the car to re-spool. The result is smoother line retrieval and a steadier, more stable presentation on the water, two crucial factors for confidence in every cast. Whether you’re stalking roach, skimmers, or chub, the line behaves predictably, letting you concentrate on depth control, bait position, and peg selection rather than wrestling with a short length that runs out too quickly.
Huge 300m spool for long sessions on the bank — the Drennan Carp Feeder Mono is a purpose-built feeder line that keeps you fishing without constant re-spooling. It’s designed for carp anglers who want reliability and steady performance from the first cast to the last take.
Brand: Drennan
Line Type: Mono
Target Species: Carp
Intended Use: Feeder fishing
Length: 300m
Key Benefit: A 300m spool gives plenty of length to run multiple rigs and swap leaders without re-spooling.
Performance: Mono construction provides predictable performance with feeder setups, helping you present baits cleanly and maintain tension when you’re playing carp on the bank.
On the bank, you’ll appreciate plenty of length to set up and swap. The 300m spool lets you run multiple rigs and swap leaders without reaching for the spare spool. You can keep casting and experimenting without interruption. This mono line is built specifically for feeder fishing, so it sits well with feeder rigs and carp tactics. You get predictable performance from setup to take, helping you present baits cleanly and keep tension as the fish powers off. The line’s construction supports steady line lay and reliable casts, which helps reduce tangles and improve bite detection on busy days. With this spool in your kit, you’ll cover more swim and adjust rigs quickly, saving time for more bites. Having a long spool means you can try different hook sizes, feeder weights, and leader links without re-spooling mid-session. It also means you can fish longer runs along the bank, keeping the rod in play while you move baits or feeds. The name Drennan adds a level of trust for anglers who want consistency from session to session. If your focus is feeder work for carp, this line gives you a straightforward, no-nonsense option that stays true to its purpose. In short, it’s a dependable, long-running choice for serious feeder anglers who want reliability, simplicity, and a spool that literally keeps up with the pace of the bank.
Drennan In-line Method Feeder Large (35g) — an inline feeder built for precise, straightforward presentations straight from the cast, perfect for method rig enthusiasts.
Weight: 35g
Size: Large
Design: In-line Method Feeder
Brand: Drennan
The inline design keeps the main line aligned with the feeder, which helps you keep a tidy rig and makes it easier to present bait where you want it. With a Large 35g weight, this feeder has a noticeable profile on the line, which can aid in keeping the rig stable during the cast and on the water. Built by Drennan, a name many anglers recognise for feeder gear, this model offers a straightforward, dependable component for your inline rig. It slots neatly into a standard inline setup, so swapping in a new feeder during a session is quick and simple. Because it’s inline, the line passes through the feeder rather than around it, reducing potential tangles and allowing you to run a direct, uncomplicated line from rod to bait. This can be especially useful when you’re fishing close to margins, over weed, or in currents where control matters. The 35g weight specification makes it a versatile choice for a variety of swims; it’s heavy enough to cast with confidence and light enough to keep your bait presentation natural on the retrieve. For anglers who rely on repeatability, this Drennan feeder provides a consistent platform to deliver feed and attractants in the same way each cast, helping you build a pattern over a session. If you fish a range of venues, the Large (35g) size gives you a reliable option without the need to carry multiple inline feeders for different weights. In sum, the Drennan In-line Method Feeder Large (35g) is a simple, practical piece of kit that slots into your inline method rig, offering a clean setup, straightforward loading, and dependable performance when you’re out on the bank.
