The Savage Gear Alpha SG2 range is built for anglers who demand dependable, high-performance rods that can handle big lures, powerful fish, and hard fishing sessions. Designed for predator anglers targeting pike, zander, perch, and other heavy hitters, the SG2 series delivers the perfect mix of strength, sensitivity, and casting performance — all at an accessible price.
Built to Perform
Every rod in the Alpha SG2 range is made from a 24 + 30T high-modulus carbon blank, giving a strong yet responsive action. This construction offers excellent casting power without compromising on feel, allowing you to control your lure precisely and detect subtle takes even when fishing deep or at distance.
The blank’s progressive action loads smoothly during casts and provides plenty of backbone to set hooks and control big fish, while still maintaining a forgiving top section to absorb sudden runs and head shakes.
Each rod features SeaGuide stainless-frame guides with SiN rings for smooth line travel and reduced friction. The ergonomic double-lock reel seat ensures your reel stays secure during powerful casts and fights, while the durable EVA handle provides comfort and grip in all weather conditions.
Model Range & Uses
The Alpha SG2 range includes several variations to suit different styles and lure weights:
Jerkbait models (around 2.1 m / 7 ft) – Ideal for close-quarters lure control, hard baits, and accurate casts under cover.
Big Bait models (2.4 – 2.6 m / 8 – 8.6 ft) – Perfect for casting large swimbaits, soft plastics, and spinnerbaits from bank or boat.
Swimbait and Monster models – Designed for extra-heavy lures up to 170 g, offering unbeatable power for trophy pike and zander fishing.
All rods are supplied in two-piece formats, making them easy to transport and store while retaining the crisp action of a one-piece blank.
Performance on the Water
The SG2 range has been engineered to give serious anglers total control:
Casting: The blank design lets you throw heavy lures long distances with accuracy and confidence.
Lure presentation: The responsive tip makes it easy to work baits precisely, whether twitching jerkbaits or slow-rolling soft plastics.
Fish-playing: The strong mid-section and butt let you dominate hard-fighting predators, while the tip absorbs lunges to prevent hook pulls.
Durability: Built for tough use, these rods stand up to long sessions, big fish, and rough conditions without compromising performance.

Drennan Acolyte Plus Feeder Rods — Precision, Power & Pure Control
Built on decades of Drennan innovation, the Acolyte Plus Feeder Rod range is a masterclass in balance, casting performance, and fish-playing action. Slim, lightweight, and incredibly responsive, these rods are the result of years of testing, refinement, and expertise — combining power with finesse to handle everything from silverfish and F1s to tench, chub, and carp.
Each model in the range — 10ft, 11ft, and 12ft — offers its own distinct personality, but all share the same premium construction, crisp casting feel, and parabolic action that makes the Acolyte Plus family a benchmark in modern feeder rod design. Whether you’re fishing short to islands, mid-range on commercials, or casting long to distant features, this is a range built to perform flawlessly at every level.
Designed for Power and Precision
At the heart of each Acolyte Plus Feeder is a super-slim, high-modulus carbon blank. This lightweight yet powerful material provides exceptional casting accuracy while maintaining that trademark Drennan smoothness and forgiveness. The blank loads beautifully on the cast, cutting through the air with ease, and recovers instantly for a crisp, accurate release every time.
The stand-off SiC guides are perfectly spaced to allow the line to travel smoothly, reducing friction and increasing casting distance. Combined with a Fuji reel seat and full cork handle, every component works in harmony to deliver effortless performance with a premium feel.
Matched with reel lines from 4lb to 8lb (1.8–3.6kg), the Acolyte Plus Feeder range covers everything from fine silverfish setups to powerful commercial carp gear. Each rod comes with three push-in carbon tips (1.5oz, 2oz, and 2.5oz) that blend seamlessly into the blank, providing accurate bite indication and maintaining a smooth curve under load.
Acolyte Plus 10ft Feeder – Compact Strength
The Acolyte Plus 10ft Feeder Rod is deceptively powerful for its compact size. Designed for venues where a shorter rod gives better control, it’s perfect for commercial fisheries, tight swims, and island work. Despite its modest length, it offers an impressive amount of backbone for a rod that weighs so little.
The smooth, parabolic action makes it ideal for species like tench, chub, F1s, and small to medium carp, cushioning light hooklengths while still having the strength to control powerful fish. At 10ft (3.05m), it casts beautifully with feeders up to 45g (1.5oz) and performs flawlessly up to around 40 metres.
The responsive blank and SiC guides ensure each cast is clean and controlled, while the forgiving action reduces hook pulls to a minimum. Like the rest of the range, the 10ft Plus folds into two even-length sections, making transport easy and efficient. Whether you’re targeting F1s under the rod tip or dropping a small Method feeder tight to an island, the 10ft Plus delivers performance far beyond its size.
Acolyte Plus 11ft Feeder – The All-Round Performer
The Acolyte Plus 11ft Feeder Rod strikes the perfect balance between power, versatility, and precision. It’s the all-rounder of the range — long enough to reach distant features yet short enough to retain quick responsiveness when fishing closer in.This model has a slightly stepped-up action compared to the Acolyte Ultra, giving it extra power for larger fish while maintaining a soft, parabolic curve that’s ideal for silverfish and F1s. At 11ft (3.35m), it handles feeders up to 60g (2oz) comfortably and is at home casting up to 50 metres with accuracy.
During testing, the 11ft Plus proved to be a match-winner on a wide variety of venues, handling everything from bream and tench to hard-fighting carp. The crisp, responsive blank offers pinpoint casting accuracy, while the SiC guides and fine carbon tips provide instant feedback and clean line flow.
Like the rest of the family, it’s finished with a Fuji reel seat, full cork handle, and includes neoprene rod socks and retaining bands for protection in transit. After almost two years of field testing, the 11ft Plus has been refined to perfection — a rod that casts effortlessly, plays fish beautifully, and gives you total confidence at every stage of the fight.
Acolyte Plus 12ft Feeder – Long-Range Power and Precision
The powerhouse of the range, the Acolyte Plus 12ft Feeder Rod is built for distance and control. Designed for situations that demand longer casts and more strength, it excels on large lakes, reservoirs, and rivers where precision and power are equally important.
At 12ft (3.66m), the blank is slim yet loaded with backbone, capable of casting feeders up to 60g (2oz) with ease and accuracy. With the right tackle and casting technique, ranges beyond 60 metres are easily achievable. Despite its strength, the rod remains beautifully balanced, making it comfortable to use even during long sessions.
Field testing saw the 12ft Plus land double-figure carp on Method feeder setups at range, while still showing the finesse to handle bream and tench with delicate control. The parabolic playing action ensures smooth pressure distribution, cushioning every surge and preventing hook pulls.
The stand-off SiC guides allow for smooth line travel, while the full cork handle and Fuji reel seat provide comfort and control. The rod comes supplied with three push-in carbon tips (1.5oz, 2oz, 2.5oz) that maintain the rod’s seamless curve and sensitivity.
A two-piece design allows the 12ft Plus to be carried ready-made inside a rod sleeve or case, saving time on setup and pack-down. Drennan also includes neoprene rod socks and retaining bands, ensuring everything stays secure in transit.
This rod isn’t just for commercial venues — its versatility extends to natural waters and rivers, where the extra length is ideal for mending line and controlling fish in the flow. If you’re after a rod that casts long, plays smoothly, and handles quality fish with confidence, the 12ft Plus Feeder is your perfect match.
Refined Craftsmanship and Lasting Quality
Each Acolyte Plus Feeder Rod showcases Drennan’s dedication to quality and performance. The finish is clean, modern, and understated, while the components are hand-picked for reliability and comfort. The cork handle gives a traditional feel, while the EVA casting grip adds durability. The Fuji reel seat locks your reel securely in place, maintaining perfect balance for both distance casting and close-in work.
Every joint, guide, and finish has been engineered with care to create a rod that performs seamlessly. From the lightest tap on the tip to the heaviest pull under the rod butt, you remain in total control.

Nash Scope Ops 9ft 3.5lb Abbreviated
A compact 9ft carp rod designed for versatility, power, and modern mobile angling. The Nash Scope Ops 9ft 3.5lb Abbreviated sits between stalking performance and casting capability, delivering a single rod that covers a wide range of scenarios without compromising distance or control. At 9ft, it offers significantly more reach and casting efficiency than shorter specialist rods, while preserving the mobility that defines the Scope Ops concept. The 3.5lb test curve provides serious backbone for heavy leads, PVA bags, and demanding hook pulls, yet the blank remains progressive enough to cushion lunges and protect hook holds during close-range battles.

The 9ft length is chosen to balance casting distance with stalk-and-precision play.

The 3.5lb test curve endows the Scope Ops with capability to handle heavier leads, solid bags, and robust hook pulls when fishing at range or in challenging conditions. Despite the backbone, the action remains forgiving enough to protect hook holds during lunges and to provide a progressive feel as fish move. Abbreviated handle: mobility in tight spaces
The shortened handle design minimizes bulk in confined spaces—boats, tight swims, or under overhanging vegetation—while enhancing leverage during late-stage plays. This makes it easier to maintain line control and balance when accuracy and quick re-positioning matter most. Designed for modern mobile carp fishing
Ideal for anglers who blend stalking with longer-range casting, the Scope Ops 9ft 3.5lb Abbreviated is well suited to commercials, natural venues, and medium-sized carp waters where flexibility is key. It performs well with PVA bags, solid bags, or lead setups, enabling confident casting into feature spots or margins and steady fish-playing control in dynamic situations. Best used for

Ultra-Light Precision for Modern Float Fishing
The Drennan Acolyte Ultra Float Rods are designed for anglers who want maximum sensitivity, precision, and finesse. These rods are ideal for delicate float fishing on commercial lakes, natural stillwaters, and rivers where detecting subtle bites is key.
Light, responsive, and perfectly balanced, the Ultra Float range lets anglers fish fine lines, small hooks, and tiny wagglers or sliders with total confidence. Whether you’re targeting roach, skimmers, crucians, or cautious carp, the rods provide crisp bite detection, effortless casting, and smooth fish-playing control.
Engineered with high-modulus carbon, the Acolyte Ultra Float Rods combine modern technology with classic Drennan craftsmanship — giving every angler a rod that’s precise, reliable, and easy to handle all day.
Built for Precision and Delicacy
The Ultra Float range is all about sensitivity and control. Each rod has been designed to give immediate feedback, allowing the angler to detect even the lightest nibble.
These rods excel when fishing very fine hooklengths and small floats, where subtle movements can make the difference between a lost bite and a solid hook-up. The ultra-light blank lets anglers present bait naturally and maintain perfect line control, even on pressured waters or in delicate margins.
At the same time, the progressive through-action ensures enough power to land larger fish, combining finesse with reliable backbone.
High-Modulus Carbon Construction
The blanks are built from premium high-modulus carbon fibre, giving a slim, lightweight profile while retaining strength and resilience.
The carbon has been carefully layered and tapered to provide a soft tip for delicate bites, while the mid and lower sections provide gentle, progressive power. This balance allows anglers to fish fine lines without fear of breakage, yet still handle a larger carp or chub when it unexpectedly takes the bait.
The result is a blank that’s both fast and responsive, perfect for technical float fishing on any venue.
Available Models
The Acolyte Ultra Float range is typically offered in 12ft, 13ft, and 14ft models, giving anglers flexibility for a range of venues:
12ft Ultra Float – Perfect for close-to-hand commercial work, small lakes, and river margins.
13ft Ultra Float – The all-rounder, ideal for stillwaters and medium-range river fishing.
14ft Ultra Float – Provides extra reach and line control for deeper waters or longer rivers.
All models feature the same light, responsive action, allowing anglers to fish delicate lines with precision while retaining the power to play fish effectively.
Exceptional Casting and Line Control
Casting with the Acolyte Ultra Float is smooth, accurate, and effortless. The blanks load easily for controlled presentations, ensuring wagglers, sliders, and stick floats land exactly where intended.
Once in the water, the rods provide perfect line control, letting you mend, pick up, and react instantly. This is especially important when trotting on rivers or fishing sensitive stillwater areas, where fine adjustments can be the difference between multiple bites or a blank session.
Even at medium distances, the rods maintain sensitivity and precision, giving anglers complete confidence in every strike.
Fish-Playing Action
Despite being ultra-light, these rods have a progressive action that allows them to handle larger specimens with ease. The soft tip cushions delicate hooklengths, while the mid and lower sections provide enough strength to guide fish safely to the net.
This makes the Ultra Float ideal for mixed-species fishing — from cautious roach and skimmers to more robust crucians, tench, and carp. The rods maintain control through every lunge and surge, making fights smooth, predictable, and enjoyable.
Premium Components and Build Quality
The Acolyte Ultra Float Rods are built with the finest fittings to complement the blank:
Lightweight stainless-frame guides with durable inserts for smooth line flow.
Screw-down DPS-style reel seat for secure, balanced performance.
High-quality cork handle with EVA trim, offering comfort and grip during long sessions.
Low-gloss, subtle blank finish with discreet Acolyte graphics for a professional look.
Every component is designed to maximise performance while ensuring comfort and durability for all-day float fishing.
Comfort and Balance
The Ultra Float Rods are perfectly balanced, feeling light and natural despite their length. The cork and EVA handle gives excellent grip in all conditions, while the slim, light blank ensures minimal fatigue during long sessions.
Anglers can strike, lift, and play fish for hours without strain, making the rods ideal for both short sessions and extended days on rivers or commercial lakes.
Perfect for Sensitive Bite Detection
One of the standout features of the Acolyte Ultra Float Rods is their exceptional sensitivity. Every nibble, tap, or twitch is transmitted clearly through the blank, giving anglers the confidence to strike accurately and consistently.
This makes them perfect for fishing delicate baits, light hooklengths, and small wagglers or sliders — situations where subtle feedback is key to success.
Versatile Applications
The Acolyte Ultra Float Rods are suitable for a wide variety of float fishing applications:
Commercial venues – F1s, roach, skimmers, and small carp.
Rivers – Trotting for chub, dace, and roach.

Blank: high-modulus
Tip action: delicate
Mid/ butt action: robust for backbone and hook-sets
Guide system: optimised for long-range line flow
Handle: slim and comfortable
Mainline compatibility: 6–12 lb mono or 10–15 lb braid

Usage tips for the Guru A Class 11ft Pellet Waggler
Use this rod when you’re targeting longer distances to pellets or beds on reservoirs and large stillwaters. Start with a pellet waggler float that matches the wind and distance you’re fishing, then pair it with line that preserves sensitive bite detection without excessive stretch.
Match float weight to distance and wind. Heavier floats help you reach longer marks; lighter rigs will give more bite response in calm conditions.
Choose line to suit the venue: 6–12 lb mono for stretch and feel, or 10–15 lb braid if you want tighter contact and quicker hits in breezy water.
Keep the tip’s sensitivity: the tiny taps and micro-twitches are your early warning; the mid and butt provide the power to drive the hook home at range.
Use thin, low-stretch hooklinks for sensitive presentation at distance; practice casting to improve accuracy and repeatable landings.
Be ready to adapt: carry spare tips to alter action for bite strength as conditions change—wind, depth, and pellet size all influence bite reception.
Wind and chop management: the guides are designed for smoother line flow, helping you land cleanly even in breezy or rippled water.
Pairing and setup: a small to mid-sized reel balances rod weight and spool profile, aiding a steady casting rhythm and a clean line release.
Care and maintenance
Rinse the rod after dirty sessions and dry before storing. Transport in a protective tube to avoid tip damage, and inspect guides for burrs or wear after rigs rub or large drifts. Regular checks help preserve sensitivity and casting balance for years of use. Best fishing options and practical notes
The 11ft length provides added leverage for longer casts while keeping line well clear of the water, reducing drag and improving bite contact. The delicate tip remains highly responsive to micro-takes, taps and lifts, with the mid and butt delivering the backbone needed for clean hooks at distance. Long-range pellet waggler work shines on reservoirs and larger stillwaters, over pellet beds, or in areas where precise, repeatable presentation from distance matters—even in shallow chop or a light breeze.
