Its strong butt and balanced 10ft blank let you lift and drive from distance, keeping line off the water in windy or choppy stillwaters and delivering crisp bite detection for quick, clean hooks. Long-range pellet waggler performance with a razor-sensitive tip for subtle takes 10ft blank tuned specifically for pellet waggler loads and long-range float work Slim, lightweight handle reduces fatigue and maintains balance when casting and playing fish Robust butt section for quick lift and back-through when fish are wary or snags loom Quality guides minimise friction for smooth line flow in breezy or choppy conditions Line and tackle compatibility: mainline options of 6–12 lb mono or 10–15 lb braid; compatible with pellet waggler floats and distance rigs
What makes it special
The Guru A Class 10ft Pellet Waggler is purpose-built for mid-to-long range pellet waggler tactics on lakes and reservoirs. The 10ft length provides long-lever control to keep your line clear of snags while delivering pellets with measured accuracy. The rod’s slim tip transmits even the faintest bites, while the mid-section and butt provide the mass needed to drive hooks reliably from distance. This combination gives you crisp bite detection and fast, decisive hook-sets without sacrificing feel through the rod. Rig and line compatibility
Designed to work with standard carp and stillwater tackle setups, this rod accepts mainlines in the 6–12 lb mono range or 10–15 lb braid. If you’re fishing windy days or moving water, braid can offer excellent sensitivity and quick pickups, while mono can help with softer presentations. The rod is compatible with pellet waggler floats sized for distance and current and accepts pellet drop-perch-style rigs, small cages or bead rigs for versatile presentations. Usage tips for best results
To get the most from the Guru A Class, start by practicing casts unladen to feel the balance and how the tip loads. Fine-tune the float weight to match wind strength and the distance you’re casting. Use a long, thin hooklink to keep the pellet presentation subtle and natural. Have spares of tips to adapt to different bite strengths and float loads so you’re ready for a range of conditions. When playing fish, keep line tight and let the rod do the telling; the backbone is there to translate subtle lifts into prompt, decisive hook-sets from distance. Practical setup and on-the-bank tips
Practice unladen casts first to feel balance and the way the line tracks off the water Adjust float weight and rigging for wind strength and distance; small changes can sharpen bite detection Keep a long, light hooklink to preserve pellet presentation; avoid heavy rigs that bury the float Carry spare tips to adapt to bite strength changes and float loads quickly Rinse after dirty/ dusty conditions and dry thoroughly; protect tips and guides in transport with a tube or sleeve
Care and maintenance
After use in murky or salty conditions, rinse the rod and guides with fresh water and dry completely. Inspect the reel seat and guides for wear after heavy sessions. When transporting, protect tips and guides with a sleeve or tube to prevent nicks. Regularly check the guides for any signs of wear that might affect line flow, especially after frequent casting in breezy conditions. Who it’s for and where it shines
Ideal for specialist float anglers chasing pellet waggler tactics on larger stillwaters, the Guru A Class 10ft Pellet Waggler balances reach, sensitivity and control in a single package. It’s particularly well suited to lakes and reservoirs where wind, current and distance all come into play and where precise pellet delivery and quick bite detection can make the difference between a blank and a buoyant session. Related gear and handy notes for UK anglers
Pair this rod with a light, responsive reel to maximise fast pickups and line feel. When conditions demand longer casts, the 10ft length helps you present pellets with measured accuracy while keeping line off the water to prevent drag and splash that spooks wary fish. Have a small selection of pellet waggler floats and rigs ready, including pellet drop-perch-style setups, small cages or bead rigs, so you can adapt quickly to changing conditions on the day. Regularly check local watercraft rules regarding equipment and rigs, and always carry spare tips and small repair kit for on-the-spot adjustments during a session.
Drennan Vertex Medium Feeder Rods
The Drennan Vertex Medium Feeder Rods are beautifully balanced tools built for anglers who enjoy refined feeder fishing on stillwaters, canals, and moderate rivers. Designed for precision casting, smooth fish-playing action, and all-day comfort, these rods are ideal for targeting bream, skimmers, chub, tench, and small to medium carp.
Overview
Available in both 11ft and 12ft versions, the Vertex Medium Feeder offers the perfect blend of casting power and sensitivity. The shorter 11ft model is excellent for tighter swims and distances up to around 40 metres, while the 12ft version gives a little more reach and control, comfortably casting to 50 metres. Both models share the same balanced, progressive action that absorbs lunges and minimises hook pulls, making them perfect for modern commercial and natural venues alike.
Construction and Components
The rod’s high-modulus carbon blank gives it an incredibly crisp, responsive feel, with power in reserve for when you need it. The SiC line guides are lightweight, durable, and designed for smooth line flow to aid casting accuracy. Each rod comes fitted with a quality reel seat, ensuring a secure hold on your reel and excellent balance in the hand.
The handle features a combination of cork and EVA, offering both comfort and control even during long sessions. The rods are supplied in a two-piece configuration, making them easy to transport while maintaining excellent performance once assembled.
Performance and Action
The Vertex Medium Feeder has a forgiving tip that blends seamlessly into a progressively powerful mid-section. 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.

Pros and Cons
✅ Advantages
Superb balance of sensitivity and power.
High-quality blank and fittings for long life.
Smooth, controlled casting with great accuracy.
Soft action reduces hook pulls.
Versatile enough for both commercials and rivers.
Comfortable cork/EVA handle design.
⚠️ Considerations
Not designed for extreme long-range or heavy feeders (for that, choose the Distance model).
Two-piece construction means longer transport length than telescopic alternatives.
Slightly higher price point than entry-level feeder rods, though the performance justifies it.
Recommended Setups
Reel Size: 3000–4000 class with a smooth drag.
Mainline: 4–6lb mono, or 8–10lb braid with a shock leader.
Hooklengths: 0.10–0.16mm depending on target species.
Feeders: 20–45g cage, pellet, or method feeders.
Venues: Commercials, lakes, canals, small to medium rivers.
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.
Verdict
The Drennan Vertex Medium Feeder Rods stand out as some of the most reliable and enjoyable medium-range feeder rods available in their class. They combine quality construction, perfect balance, and versatility, making them suitable for almost any coarse angler in the UK.
For anglers who fish a mix of commercials, lakes, and small rivers — and want a rod that can cast accurately, detect delicate bites, and handle hard-fighting fish — the Vertex Medium Feeder is hard to beat.
It’s not the heaviest, lightest, or most expensive rod on the market, but it’s one of the most well-rounded and dependable tools you can own for general feeder fishing.
In short:
If you want a rod that can handle most UK feeder fishing situations, looks and feels premium, and performs beautifully on the bank, the Drennan Vertex Medium Feeder is a superb choice. It’s a genuine all-rounder that bridges the gap between finesse and power — and once you fish with it, you’ll understand why so many anglers trust the Vertex name.
Precision, Power and Versatility for Carp Anglers
The Drennan Red Range Carp Feeder Rods are built for modern carp anglers who demand accuracy, power, and control at all ranges. Designed for commercial lakes, rivers, and large reservoirs, these rods deliver the perfect balance between casting distance, bite detection, and fish-playing performance.
Whether you’re targeting F1 carp, bonus specimens, or mixed-species venues, the Red Range Carp Feeders are engineered to give anglers confidence in every cast, smoothness in every fight, and reliability over extended sessions. Lightweight yet powerful, they combine high-quality carbon blanks with top-class components, making them an ideal choice for serious carp anglers.
Purpose-Built for Carp Feeder Fishing
Feeder fishing for carp requires precision, strength, and subtlety. The Red Range Carp Feeders are designed to handle all types of feeder work — from light Method and Hybrid rigs to heavier open-end feeders for distant spots.
The rods load beautifully on the cast, allowing accurate placement of your bait, while the progressive action ensures that even sudden runs from carp are absorbed smoothly. The balance of sensitivity and power gives anglers the ability to detect even the lightest bites while retaining total control when playing larger fish.
High-Modulus Carbon Construction
Drennan has used high-modulus carbon fibre to craft the Red Range Carp Feeders, producing slim, strong, and lightweight blanks.
The carbon lay-up is optimised for progressive through-action, giving soft tips for precise bite detection and firm mid-to-butt sections for smooth fish-playing. This construction allows anglers to cast long distances with heavier feeders while maintaining control and protecting fine hooklengths and small hooks.
Despite the power on offer, the rods remain remarkably light and responsive, reducing fatigue during long sessions on the bank.
Available Models and Specifications
The Red Range Carp Feeder Rods are available in a selection of lengths, typically including 12ft, 13ft, and 14ft models, each optimised for different fishing scenarios:
12ft Model – Perfect for mid-range casting on smaller lakes and short river sections.
13ft Model – The all-rounder, ideal for a variety of feeder setups and medium distances.
14ft Model – Maximum reach and control for large lakes, deep rivers, or pressured venues.
All models accommodate lines from 4lb to 10lb, with casting weights ranging up to 80g, giving anglers flexibility for different feeders, baits, and carp sizes.
Casting Performance
Casting precision is critical in carp feeder fishing, and the Red Range excels in this area.
The rods load smoothly on the cast, sending feeders accurately to target spots, whether using Method, Hybrid, or open-end feeder rigs. The progressive action ensures the bait lands consistently without bouncing or snagging, reducing the chance of spooking wary carp.
Even at longer ranges, the rod maintains line control and stability, allowing for accurate strikes and precise feeding presentations.
Fish-Playing and Progressive Action
Once a carp takes your bait, the Red Range’s progressive through-action comes into play.
The soft tip cushions sudden runs and lunges, preventing hook-pulls, while the strong mid and butt sections provide the power to control larger fish safely. This allows anglers to play fish efficiently and confidently, whether it’s a mid-sized F1 or a bonus carp over 10lb.
The rods’ action is balanced for all-round performance, combining sensitivity for subtle bites with enough strength to handle powerful fish.
Premium Components and Build Quality
Every Red Range Carp Feeder Rod is equipped with top-quality components to enhance performance and reliability:
Stainless-frame guides with smooth inserts for effortless line flow and minimal wear.
DPS-style screw-down reel seat to secure your reel firmly, ensuring balance and control.
High-quality cork handle with EVA rear grip, offering comfort and support during long sessions.
Low-gloss, subtle blank finish, with understated Drennan branding for a professional look.
All fittings are strategically positioned to maximise casting distance, sensitivity, and overall handling.
Comfort and Balance
Carp fishing often involves long hours of feeding and playing fish. The Red Range is perfectly balanced for these sessions, feeling light in the hand despite its length and power.
The combination of cork and EVA provides a secure, comfortable grip, while the slim blank ensures minimal fatigue when casting repeatedly or holding the rod during long plays. Anglers can fish all day with confidence, knowing the rod will perform consistently.

Guru NEW A Class 12ft Distance Method – extreme-range carp rod for confident long casts.
12ft Distance Method rod designed for extreme-range carp work, with two-handed loading for precise, powerful delivery. Deep-loading, extra-long blank (high-modulus) stores energy for smooth, controlled casts and reduced tip snap when launching heavy feeders and spod parcels. Reinforced mid and butt sections paired with a durable blank finish withstand heavy payloads and long fights without losing feel. Large, strong guides optimise braid or heavy mono travel at distance and minimise line friction for distance accuracy. Long, comfortable handle enables two-handed loading and better casting leverage, reducing fatigue on long sessions. Compatible tackle setup: mainline 15–40 lb braid or heavy mono; method weights from 60 g; 5000–6000 size reels with smooth drag; heavy hooklinks 20–50 lb. Best used for dedicated distance sessions on large lakes and reservoirs, especially where margins are deep or currents push fishing out at range.
Overview and what makes this rod different
The Guru NEW A Class 12ft Distance Method is built for anglers who need to reach far marks with confidence. It features a long-range design that combines a deep, energy-storing blank with a progressive action, so heavy method feeders and spod parcels plant cleanly on the cast. The long blank not only loads quickly but also preserves feel, helping you detect feeds and light takes even when distance is the main aim. The reinforced mid and butt sections give you the backbone to tame big carp through long, powerful runs, while the durable finish stands up to repeated casts on demanding venues. Two-handed casting is the core of its usability. The extended handle allows you to leverage your upper body and torso, reducing fatigue during extended sessions. The guides are sized to handle braid or heavy mono with minimal line friction, keeping line travel smooth and accurate as you push to far margins. All of this combines to help you place rigs, spod parcels, and feeders with greater precision, even in wind or current, which is exactly what distance anglers need on UK lakes and reservoirs. Specification and compatibility
Length and action: 12ft Distance Method rod with a deep-loading, progressive blank. The blank is extra-long and high-modulus, with reinforced mid and butt sections designed to withstand heavy payloads and long fights. The finish is durable to resist casting stress and grit from a long day on the bank. Guides: Large, robust guides designed to accommodate braid and heavy mono at distance while minimising friction for slick line travel. Handle: An extended, comfortable handle that supports two-handed loading and casting leverage, helping to reduce fatigue and improve accuracy during long sessions. Tackle pairing and capacity:
- Mainline: 15–40 lb braid or heavy mono
- Method weights: from 60 g upwards to long-range options
- Reel size: 5000–6000 with smooth drag
- Hooklinks: 20–50 lb Usage instructions
Prepare your rig and line: spool your reel with mainline in the 15–40 lb braid or heavy mono range, ensuring a clean, even lay. Choose method weights appropriate for your distance target; start at 60 g and adjust for wind and margins as needed. Mount the rod and rig with heavy hooklinks (20–50 lb) to ensure stability when landing large carp. Position your spod and feeder work to build a feeding zone at distance. Use long-range tactics to place bait accurately beyond the bank edge. Adopt a two-handed grip on the long handle and drive through with a smooth, powerful cast. Focus on a clean follow-through to plant the feeder on target without slippage. After casting, maintain tension on the mainline to monitor bite indication; offset any wind push with subtle rod movement to keep your baited area active. During fights, use the rod’s backbone to control runs—let the blank load guide the pressure and steer the fish without forcing the line.
Care, maintenance and practical tips
Rinse guides after sandy or gritty sessions to remove salt and grit. Dry and store the rod in a padded tube or case to cushion knocks in transit. Regularly check guides for nicks or grooves and replace if necessary to preserve smooth line flow at distance. After use on rough-water days, inspect the reel and apply light maintenance to the drag to keep it performing at its best. Why UK anglers choose Distance Method gear
For fish in large lakes and reservoirs with deep margins or currents, distance gear like this 12ft Distance Method rod helps you locate feeding fish on the first pass and sustain pressure over longer sessions. The combination of deep blank loading, two-handed leverage, and robust guides gives you confidence to push to far marks while still detecting subtle takes. It’s designed to work cohesively with 15–40 lb braid or heavy mono, 60 g method weights, and 5000–6000 reels with smooth drag—streamlining your tackle setup for long-range sessions on UK waters.

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.
Why Choose the Acolyte 17ft Float Rod
