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.
Purpose-Built for Quiver Tip Fishing
These rods are engineered to maximise the advantages of quiver tip fishing, providing instant feedback on the lightest bites.
The sensitive carbon tip flexes and transmits movement clearly, while the progressive mid and butt sections give the strength to control hooked fish. This combination makes it ideal for rivers with flowing water or stillwater venues where subtle bites can be easily missed.
High-Quality Carbon Blank
Each Specialist Quiver Tip Rod features a high-modulus carbon blank, keeping it light, responsive, and durable.
The blank ensures smooth power transfer, accurate casting, and crisp tip recovery, while the slim design reduces fatigue during long sessions. Despite their sensitivity, these rods retain the backbone required to subdue medium to large fish safely.
Models and Lengths
The Specialist Quiver Tip range is available in multiple lengths to suit different conditions and venues:
11ft Quiver Tip Rod – Perfect for close to medium-range work on canals or rivers.
12ft Quiver Tip Rod – Ideal for slightly longer distances, offering extra reach and control.
13ft Quiver Tip Rod – Built for long-range feeder work and larger venues, providing the power to handle bigger fish.
Each rod comes with interchangeable carbon quiver tips to adjust sensitivity according to conditions and target species.
Casting and Accuracy
The rods’ progressive action allows smooth, controlled casting of feeders, leads, or rigs.
The responsive tip ensures accurate float or feeder placement, while the rod’s balance provides excellent control over line pickup and strike detection. Whether you’re fishing in tight swims or casting for distance, the rods offer precision and consistency.
Fish-Playing Action
The Specialist Quiver Tip Rods excel when playing fish:
Soft, sensitive tip – absorbs subtle bites and reduces hook pull.
Progressive mid-section – transfers energy smoothly from tip to butt.
Strong butt section – provides leverage to subdue larger fish.
This action ensures confidence when playing anything from small roach to medium carp.
Premium Components

DPS-style reel seat for secure reel placement.
Cork handle with EVA rear grip for comfort and control.
Low-gloss carbon finish with subtle Drennan branding.

Commercial lakes – light quiver work for carp, F1s, and bream.

GURU Aventus R Rods – A Legend, Reborn
GURU Aventus R Rods – A Legend, Reborn. The Aventus R Rods are the legend reborn for feeder anglers who want distance, control and a smooth, progressive action. Built around Zero90X carbon technology and the Rigid Joint System, these blanks track true under load and recover quickly, giving you longer, more accurate casts and a steadier fight when a fish bites. In stock now and ready to crack on with the session. Zero90X Carbon Technology cuts twisting and torque, helping the blank track its natural curve and delivering faster recovery for improved distance and accuracy. Rigid Joint System (RJS) extends Zero90X into the RF joints for a more progressive power curve with no flat spots, delivering a smoother, more controlled action when playing fish and a steadier feel across the cast. Fuji KW Anti-Tangle Guides with Alconite Rings minimise line twist and tangling while keeping a clean, responsive stroke from cast to hook-up. Fuji LG Tangle-Free Tip Guide finishes the quiver setup with a non-tangle tip to reduce line wrap around the tip and improve reliability when the line tightens on the cast or during a fight. DT Quivers with Japanese Carbon Solid Tips pair premium reinforcement with the blank’s action, staying tough under pressure. 11' model features a Fuji TVS Reel Seat and DPS Downlocking Reel Seat for secure, comfortable handling during long sessions; both lengths have redesigned, lighter, tighter tapers for better balance and sensitivity.
Two model variants to suit your venue
The Aventus R range offers two well-matched feeder variants to cover different situations:
10' FEEDER GRD324 — Two-piece rod with a casting weight of 1-60g and a line rating of 3-10lb. The rod weighs approximately 175g and ships with LT quivers in 0.75oz, 1oz and 1.5oz, allowing you to tailor your setup to the venue and bait.
11' FEEDER GRD325 — Two-piece rod with a casting weight of 1-70g and a line rating of 3-10lb. The rod weighs approximately 185g and ships with LT quivers in 1oz, 1.5oz and 2oz, giving you greater reach for longer casts and heavier feeders when needed. Key build details you’ll notice on the bank
The Aventus R rods have been redesigned for lighter, tighter tapers, making them more responsive and easier to balance. Handle lengths have been reduced to aid overall balance and control, helping you stay in control through long casts and hard-beating fish. Premium grade armlock cork handles provide a comfortable, confident grip in all conditions, so you can keep casting and playing fish without fatigue. Usage ideas and best practice
Choose the 10' GRD324 for shorter, more accurate feeder work in compact venues or when you need quick close-range control. Choose the 11' GRD325 when you need a touch more distance and reach, or when fishing in marginal margins where longer casts help you place bait beyond snags or heavy cover. Match the quiver to the venue: 10' comes with 0.75oz–1.5oz quivers; 11' comes with 1oz–2oz quivers. Start with the middle option and adjust up or down based on wind, bait weight, and fish pressure. Cast with a smooth, controlled stroke to maximise distance and minimise line twist; use the progressive action of the blank to absorb the load when a fish takes. When playing fish, keep a steady, even pressure and let the RJS action do the work. Avoid ripping the line before you’re sure you’ve got the run under control.
Maintenance and care
To keep your Aventus R rods performing at their best, wipe guides and the blank after use, especially if you’ve been fishing in saltwater or damp conditions. Inspect ferrules for signs of wear and keep the tube or sleeve used for transport clean and dry. Store in a cool, dry place and avoid leaning the rod under heavy objects to protect the tapered blanks and premium fittings. What makes these rods stand out for UK anglers
The combination of Zero90X carbon technology and the RJS design delivers a smooth, fast recovery with a controlled, powerful feel—ideal for long-range feeder sessions on UK venues where you need both distance and reliability. The Fuji guide and reel-seat system, plus Da Premium Armlock Cork, are chosen for durability and comfort, ensuring you can push through long days in the wind and rain without losing sensitivity or control. With two well-matched lengths and versatile quiver options, the Aventus R rods are built to adapt to many banks and baits across the UK’s feeder fishing landscape. Frequently asked questions (quick reference)
Are these two-piece rods easy to transport? Yes—the 2-piece design is built for road trips and boat trips alike, offering good stiffness and balance when loaded with gear. Will they feel stiff or soft under load? The RJS delivers a progressive power curve without flat spots, giving a smooth, controlled feel when you lift into a fish. Can I use these rods with other brands of reels? The description specifies Fuji TVS/DPS seats and standard feeder weights; compatibility with other reel brands depends on your reel’s foot size and seating preferences, but the guides and seats are designed for robust use with common feeder setups.
In stock now, ready to level up your feeder sessions with distance, control and a classic feel reborn for modern gravel and river venues across the UK.

N-Gauge Pro Pellet Waggler Rods – All Sizes In Stock from £99.99
The N-Gauge Pro Pellet Waggler rods are built for modern commercial fishing, delivering light, accurate, and powerful performance when carp and F1s are on the feed. On the bank, these rods feel incredibly crisp and well-balanced, with a blank that loads smoothly for pin-point casts and quick recovery for instant line control. They combine a forgiving tip with a strong mid-section, giving you the confidence to present delicately while having the muscle to turn and land bigger fish when the moment calls for it. All sizes are in stock from £99.99, giving you a real option for quality gear without breaking the bank.
Slim, high-tensile carbon blanks – Lightweight, balanced, and responsive for effortless casting and an enhanced feel under load.
Progressive power action – Soft tip for delicate presentations and a strong mid-section for playing big carp with control.
Anti-frap stainless guides – Smooth line flow and reliable performance even in damp or misty conditions.
Cork and EVA armlock handle – Ergonomic design for comfort and precise control during long sessions on the bank.
DPS reel seat – Secure, aligned and ready for modern waggler reels, reducing play and ensuring accurate casts.
Subtle matte finish – Reduces flash and glare for a clean, professional look on the water.
Model range and best uses
Three lengths cover short to long-range work, with recommended casting weights to match common commercial fisheries. The rods shine when casting wagglers between 6g and 20g and pair perfectly with 4–8lb mainlines. Here’s how the three sizes break down:
10ft Pellet Waggler — Up to 15g. Tight to islands and short-range work; fast, accurate, and forgiving. Ideal for quick, close-quarters fishing where accuracy matters most.
11ft Pellet Waggler — Up to 20g. Perfect all-rounder for most commercials; casts longer and handles bigger carp easily. A versatile choice for a wide range of days on the bank.
12ft Pellet Waggler — Up to 25g. For open water or windy days where extra distance and line control are key. Great when working across ponds with exposure to the breeze.
In practice, the N-Gauge Pro Pellet Waggler rods feel crisp and well-balanced from the moment you pick them up. The blank loads smoothly, allowing pin-point casts with minimal effort, and recovers quickly for instant control over your float and line. The forgiving tip helps reduce hook pulls when using light lines and small hooks, while the progressive middle and butt sections give you the power to turn and land big carp confidently. They really come alive when you’re targeting carp and F1s on commercial venues, and they’re also capable with tench, skimmers, or even the occasional bonus barbel when the opportunity arises. Usage tips and setup
Choose the length based on your target area: short-range spots may benefit from the 10ft, while open water or windy days suit the 12ft model. Match the casting weight to the water conditions and fish size you expect. Attach a pellet waggler and prepare line using a 4–8lb mainline as recommended. The rods are designed to perform best with this range, giving you balance between distance and control. Cast using a smooth, controlled motion to keep line tight and allow the waggle float to settle cleanly. The soft tip will help you present the hookbait delicately while the mid-section powers the cast if you need a touch more distance. As fish take, keep the tip light and steady to allow the float to cycle and hook the fish without pulling. The progressive action helps you feel bites and respond with confidence. When playing fish, use the mid and butt sections to turn and steady the carp or big F1s. Reel with steady pressure and keep a tight line to avoid any unwanted wriggle or line slip. After a session, rinse and lightly dry the rods where possible. Store in a dry place to preserve the matte finish and ensure the guides stay smooth for your next trip.

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
