Precision, Balance & Modern Float Fishing at Its Best
The Drennan Vertex Float Rods MK2 are the latest evolution of Drennan’s much-loved Vertex range — redesigned, refined, and rebuilt for even greater balance, sensitivity, and casting performance. These rods are built for anglers who want the perfect tool for all float fishing styles, from running a stick float down a river to presenting a waggler on a stillwater.
With high-quality carbon blanks, improved tip recovery, and premium fittings, the Vertex Float MK2 rods offer incredible precision and control. Light, crisp, and responsive, they deliver smooth casting, superb line control, and reliable fish-playing action across all UK float fishing conditions.
Built for All Float Fishing Scenarios
The Vertex Float MK2 range has been developed to give anglers the versatility to fish on rivers, lakes, and commercials with equal confidence.
The action is progressive and forgiving, offering excellent bite detection and hook protection when using fine lines and small hooks, yet retaining the strength and power to play larger fish with ease. Whether trotting for dace and roach, or targeting F1s and bream on stillwaters, these rods perform beautifully across all situations.
This is a true all-round float range, designed for modern versatility and traditional feel
High-Quality Carbon Blanks
Each MK2 rod is constructed from high-modulus carbon fibre, making the blank both lightweight and strong.
The use of this advanced material gives the rods their crisp, fast recovery when casting — helping maintain line control and accuracy. The blank’s responsive tip picks up line instantly on the strike, while the progressive mid-section ensures smooth power transfer when playing fish.
The result is a float rod that feels feather-light yet has the resilience and backbone needed for a wide range of fishing styles.
Available Models and Lengths
The Drennan Vertex Float Rods MK2 come in a selection of lengths to suit every venue and technique:
11ft Vertex MK2 Float – A superb short rod for close-range work, perfect for small commercials or tight swims. Great for F1s and margin fishing.
12ft Vertex MK2 Float – The ultimate all-rounder for waggler or stick float fishing. Perfect for canals, small rivers, and stillwaters.
13ft Vertex MK2 Float – Designed for more traditional float fishing, offering extra reach and control over the line on larger lakes or rivers.
14ft Vertex MK2 Float – Built for deeper water and distance work, ideal for controlling long trots or fishing larger wagglers at range.
Each model has been fine-tuned to deliver the best possible action for its intended use.
Casting and Line Control
The Vertex Float MK2 rods excel at accurate casting and effortless line pickup.
The smooth, progressive blank allows you to cast small wagglers, stick floats, or sliders with precision and control. The crisp recovery means your float lands cleanly without unwanted bounce, keeping presentation natural.
Once your rig is in the water, the rod’s responsiveness and reach make it easy to mend line and stay in contact with the float, even at distance or in windy conditions. This gives anglers an edge in both presentation and bite detection.
Fish-Playing Action
As with all Drennan rods, the fish-playing action is carefully balanced to give you total confidence once you hook up.
The soft tip cushions sudden runs and protects fine hooklengths, while the mid and butt sections provide ample power to subdue larger fish. The transition through the blank is seamless, creating a smooth progressive curve that makes playing any fish an absolute pleasure.
Whether you’re netting a small roach or a double-figure carp, the Vertex Float MK2 responds perfectly — strong when you need it, forgiving when it matters.

The small size is a real plus at the peg, reducing bulk in your tackle and making it quicker to top up without slowing you down.

Drennan Puller Beads deliver quick, tidy rig setups for anglers who want reliability on the bank — the bead that makes rigging smooth and predictable. Built for simple, effective use, these beads fit neatly into any tackle box and keep you casting with confidence.
Bead type: Drennan Puller Beads.
Usage: Designed for simple, quick rig setup.
Beads on a fishing rig are small components that sit on the line to act as spacers, stops, or protective cushions between heavier tackle and the knot. Drennan Puller Beads are intended to slot into your rig with minimal fuss, helping you achieve a clean, orderly setup every time you go to cast. While small, beads play a big role in how a rig behaves on the water: they can reduce friction where line rubs against weights or swivels, help components sit in a predictable order, and provide a straightforward visual cue when you’re checking line movement before a cast. For many anglers, the habit of keeping a tight, neat rig is half the battle in getting consistent bites, and a reliable bead can be the quiet helper that makes that happen without distracting you from the moment of the cast. When you’re tying or swapping rigs between sessions, a bead like this makes the process more forgiving—you can reposition elements, adjust spacing, and swap in a fresh setup without rethinking the entire rig. The compact nature of beads means they take up very little room in your tackle box, so you can carry a small selection and still stay organised on busy banks or at the edge of a busy pier. In practice, a bead is one of those accessories that, while unobtrusive, can improve the overall feel of your rig through better alignment and protection for your line. If you’re learning new rig configurations, beads offer a straightforward way to experiment with spacing and component order, helping you build confidence without getting tangled up in complex knots. For seasoned anglers, they provide a reliable foundation you can rely on when conditions change or when you need to set up quickly after a bite. The bottom line is simple: Drennan Puller Beads help you rig up faster, keep components moving freely, and maintain a clean silhouette that won’t scare wary fish. They’re not flashy, but in the daily grind of fishing, small, dependable extras like this can make a noticeable difference to your rhythm on the water. If you value practical, no-nonsense gear that supports steady, repeatable rigs, these beads are worth keeping in your kit. Spot on for anglers who want reliable performance with minimal fuss, on any bank or boat where time and accuracy matter most.

This gives the rod the perfect combination of sensitivity and strength — sensitive enough to pick up shy bites from skimmers, but with enough backbone to subdue strong fish like tench or small carp.
The 11ft version excels on smaller lakes, canals, and tight pegs where accuracy and soft presentation are vital.
The 12ft version is slightly more powerful, handling longer casts and slightly heavier feeders with ease.
Both lengths comfortably handle feeders up to 45g and are best paired with mainlines between 4lb and 6lb, depending on conditions and species.
Supplied Quiver Tips
Each Vertex Medium Feeder comes with two interchangeable quiver tips — a 1.5oz glass tip and a 2.5oz carbon tip. These cover most situations from light silverfish work to slightly heavier feeders for bream or chub. The tips offer smooth recovery and excellent bite detection, and additional tips can be purchased to suit specific venues or conditions.
On the Bank
The rod’s action really comes into its own when playing fish. The tip cushions sudden lunges, helping prevent line breaks and hook pulls, while the mid and butt sections provide enough power to turn and control fish heading for cover. The result is a rod that feels responsive, forgiving, and incredibly enjoyable to use.
It’s also a superb casting tool. The blank loads smoothly during the cast, releasing power in a controlled, accurate way — ideal for placing feeders precisely over baited spots. Whether you’re fishing a stillwater, a small river, or a commercial lake, the rod delivers consistent, controlled performance.
Where It Excels
Stillwaters and Commercial Fisheries
Perfect for targeting bream, skimmers, and F1s where accuracy and a soft, forgiving action are key. It casts easily up to around 45–50 metres and is ideal for method, pellet, or cage feeder setups.
Rivers and Natural Venues
The rod handles small to medium rivers comfortably, with enough power to cast feeders across the flow and control fish in the current. It’s especially suited to chub, dace, and bream fishing.
Versatile Species Range
The Vertex medium Feeder is a true all-rounder, happy handling everything from shy-biting silvers to tench and carp into double figures. Its balanced action makes it forgiving enough for light work yet tough enough when the pressure’s on.

Who It’s For
The Vertex Medium Feeder is perfect for:
Pleasure anglers looking for one rod to cover most UK venues.
Club match anglers who fish commercials and natural venues.
Anglers targeting a mixed bag of species from roach and skimmers to tench and carp.
Those upgrading from entry-level feeder rods and wanting more refinement and sensitivity.
Buying Advice
When choosing between the two models:
Go for the 11ft version if you mostly fish small lakes, canals, or tight swims.
Choose the 12ft version if you need a little more casting distance or fish bigger venues.
It’s worth pairing the rod with a quality reel that matches its balance — too heavy a reel will upset its delicate feel, while too light may reduce casting control. A mid-range 3000–4000 reel is ideal.
Also, consider investing in a few extra quiver tips for different conditions. Light tips work best in winter for shy feeders, while stiffer carbon tips are ideal for summer carp sessions or rivers with flow.
