Power, Finesse, and Control for Specimen Float Anglers The Drennan Acolyte Specimen Float Rods are built for anglers who love the traditional feel of float fishing but demand the strength, accuracy, and performance needed to handle big fish. Whether you’re targeting tench and bream on stillwaters, barbel and chub on rivers, or carp cruising the margins, these rods offer the perfect blend of power and finesse. Ultra-light yet exceptionally strong, the Acolyte Specimen Float range is designed for modern specimen fishing with refined tackle. Each model combines high-modulus carbon construction with Drennan’s renowned progressive action, giving you complete confidence when playing quality fish on lighter lines. Elegant, responsive, and balanced to perfection, these rods deliver smooth casting, precise control, and unmatched fish-playing ability — exactly what you’d expect from the award-winning Acolyte series.   Built for Serious Float Anglers   The Acolyte Specimen Float Rods are the result of years of development and fine-tuning by Drennan’s team of top anglers. Every detail has been designed to meet the needs of specimen float fishing — a style that demands both sensitivity and backbone. These rods excel in situations where you might be fishing light floats for shy-biting roach and bream one day, and battling powerful tench or chub the next. The progressive through-action gives delicate presentation with lighter hooklengths yet provides plenty of strength in reserve for those surprise larger fish. The blank recovers crisply after casting, helping floats land accurately and tangle-free. Once a fish is hooked, the smooth curve of the rod absorbs every lunge, giving you total control from strike to net.   Available Models for Every Venue The range includes 12ft, 13ft, and 14ft models, allowing you to choose the right tool for your favourite waters and methods: 12ft Specimen Float – Ideal for close- to medium-range work on stillwaters or small rivers. Perfect for tench, crucians, and smaller carp. 13ft Specimen Float – The all-rounder. Offers excellent line control and versatility for both natural and commercial venues. 14ft Specimen Float – Designed for larger venues, deep lakes, and rivers where line pick-up and long-range casting are key. Each model has been tuned to deliver Drennan’s trademark balance, smooth action, and crisp recovery, giving you total confidence in any float-fishing situation.   Precision Casting and Float Control Float control is at the heart of the Acolyte Specimen Float design. The rods load effortlessly for long, smooth casts and recover instantly for precise float placement. Once your float is in the water, the length and action of the rods make it easy to control line pick-up, mend the line, and hold perfect presentation even in moving water or wind. The responsive tip helps you strike cleanly and connect instantly, turning delicate indications into solid hook-ups.     Sensitive Tip, Powerful Backbone A key feature of the Acolyte Specimen Float Rods is the progressive through-action, which means the blank bends smoothly from tip to butt. This gives you a soft top section that cushions lunges and prevents hook pulls, while the mid and lower sections provide enough power to steer fish out of weed or away from snags. The result is a rod that feels refined yet capable — a joy to use when catching small fish in numbers, and completely reliable when that specimen tench, bream, or chub suddenly takes the bait.   Premium Components and Build Quality Like every Drennan Acolyte rod, the Specimen Float series is built with top-grade fittings and finished to the highest standard. Key features include: Lightweight, stainless-frame guides with smooth, durable inserts for effortless line flow and long casting life. Screw-down DPS-style reel seat that holds your reel firmly, giving a solid, reliable feel. High-grade cork handle with EVA trim for superb comfort and grip in all conditions. Slim, low-gloss blank with understated graphics, reflecting the elegant simplicity of Drennan design.   Each rod is supplied in a quality rod sleeve and is built to last, offering the same trusted craftsmanship that has made the Acolyte series a favourite among anglers across the UK.     Performance on the Bank On the water, these rods come alive. The lightweight build makes them effortless to use all day long, perfect for anglers who enjoy the rhythm of casting, striking, and playing fish repeatedly. Casting is smooth and predictable — wagglers, stick floats, or sliders all fly straight and true thanks to the rod’s crisp recovery. When striking, the responsive tip ensures immediate connection without jarring light hooklengths. Once you’re into a fish, the rod’s smooth, progressive curve gives complete control. The top section cushions headshakes from bream or crucians, while the powerful butt allows you to guide bigger fish safely to the net. Whether you’re catching tench in the pads, chub under the far bank, or carp in the margins, the Acolyte Specimen Float makes every battle controlled, confident, and enjoyable.     Acolyte Quality You Can Trust The Drennan Acolyte range is renowned for its blend of innovation, precision, and craftsmanship — and the Specimen Float series is no exception.

Slim, high-tensile carbon blanks – Lightweight, balanced, and responsive for effortless casting and an enhanced feel under load.

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.

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. Why UK anglers choose the N-Gauge Pro Pellet Waggler Designed specifically for modern commercial fisheries around the UK, balancing lightness with backbone for accurate, forgiving presentations.

Drennan’s engineers have optimised the blank’s taper and layering to deliver a fast, crisp action at the tip, combined with substantial power in the mid and butt sections. This combination allows you to cast heavier feeders further, maintain control when striking, and fight carp and other strong fish with confidence. The rods maintain their shape under load, ensuring accuracy and energy transfer on every cast, while protecting lighter hooklengths and small hooks from being pulled free.   Available Models and Specifications   The Acolyte Distance Feeder Rod range typically includes 12ft, 13ft, and 14ft models, each tailored for different long-range scenarios:   12ft Model – Ideal for shorter distance work up to 30–35 yards, giving precision and control on mid-sized commercial lakes or natural stillwaters. 13ft Model – The all-rounder for medium to long-range work. Excellent for both Hybrid and Method feeder fishing at 35–45 yards. 14ft Model – Designed for maximum distance, deep lakes, and big open venues where accuracy and line control at range are essential. All models can handle lines from 4lb to 10lb and casting weights typically up to 60–80g, depending on rod length, giving flexibility for different feeders and target species.   Casting Performance Distance casting requires the perfect balance of power and control, and the Acolyte Distance Feeders deliver this in spades. The fast tip recovers immediately after the cast, keeping the feeder stable in flight, while the mid-section transfers energy efficiently to send bait to distant feeding spots. The smooth, progressive action ensures the feeder lands accurately, minimising splashes or errant bounces that might spook wary carp. The precise blank also helps control line slack and allows for perfect float or marker presentation at long distances.     Fish-Playing and Progressive Action   Once a fish takes the bait, the Acolyte Distance Feeder’s progressive through-action comes into play. The tip cushions sudden runs and lunges, reducing hook-pulls, while the mid and lower sections provide the strength to control and guide fish. Whether it’s an F1 darting across a commercial or a bonus carp powering off toward the far bank, the rods maintain a smooth, consistent bend. This progressive action protects the tackle, absorbs shocks, and ensures the fight remains completely under control, even at extreme distances.   Top-Quality Components   Every rod in the Acolyte Distance range features premium components to complement its high-performance blank:   Stainless-frame guides with durable inserts, reducing friction and line wear, while improving casting smoothness and distance. Screw-down DPS-style reel seat, providing a secure, solid fit that enhances balance and control. High-quality cork handle with EVA rear grip, giving comfort, grip, and balance during long sessions at distance. Matte-finish low-gloss blank, with subtle graphics to avoid glare and reflectivity on bright days. The guides are strategically spaced to reduce line tangles and ensure smooth energy transfer from blank to feeder, even on long casts.   Comfort for Long Sessions Fishing long-range requires holding the rod in position while waiting for bites or while striking. The Acolyte Distance Feeder Rods are balanced to sit comfortably in your hand, with minimal fatigue even during extended sessions. The lightweight blank combined with ergonomic handle design ensures effortless casting, comfortable gripping, and optimal leverage when striking or playing fish. This is essential when using heavier feeders over long distances, giving the angler maximum control without strain.     Interchangeable Quiver Tips Each rod comes with a set of carbon quiver tips, typically ranging from 1.5oz to 5oz, perfectly matched to the blank for seamless action and sensitivity. The tips allow you to fish lighter lines for cautious bites or heavier setups when casting longer distances. This versatility ensures that the Acolyte Distance Feeders are effective in all conditions, from small commercial lakes to deep, pressured waters where accuracy and bite detection at range are critical.     Performance Across Venues The Acolyte Distance Feeder Rods are ideal for a wide variety of commercial and natural venues. They excel on: Large commercial lakes – for F1 carp, bream, and bonus carp at extreme range. Rivers and reservoirs – for long-range bream and roach fishing. Mixed-species venues – where the ability to switch feeders and lines quickly is vital. The rods provide a balance of sensitivity, power, and distance that few commercial feeders can match.     Reliability and Trust Drennan’s Acolyte Distance Feeders have been developed with input from professional match and specimen anglers, ensuring they meet the real-world demands of modern UK waters. Every rod undergoes stringent quality control to ensure consistent action, flawless build, and long-term reliability. Whether you’re fishing short distances for quick bites or long-range spots for big carp, these rods perform consistently, giving confidence every time you cast.     Conclusion – The Long-Range Feeder Rod for Serious Anglers The Drennan Acolyte Distance Feeder Rods are the ultimate tool for long-range feeder fishing.

Strength, Balance & Precision for Modern Float Anglers The Drennan Acolyte Plus Float Rods are designed for anglers who love float fishing but need that extra backbone for larger fish, heavier floats, or more demanding venues. Sitting neatly between the Acolyte Ultra and Acolyte Specimen models, the Plus range offers the perfect balance of finesse and power — light and responsive, yet strong enough to subdue quality fish with ease.  Whether you’re fishing wagglers on stillwaters, trotting on deep rivers, or tackling commercials for F1s, bream, or carp, these rods deliver exceptional casting accuracy, smooth line control, and a fish-playing action that inspires total confidence. The Acolyte Plus Float range combines classic Drennan craftsmanship with modern carbon technology to give anglers the perfect all-round tool for today’s float fishing.   Designed for Power and Control   The Acolyte Plus Float Rods are built for those situations where a standard match rod doesn’t quite have enough muscle. With a slightly stronger blank than the Acolyte Ultra, the Plus models let you fish confidently with heavier lines, larger floats, and bigger hooks — perfect for mixed venues where the next bite could be a 4oz roach or a 4lb tench. Despite their added strength, they still retain the trademark Drennan finesse. The blank recovers crisply after casting, ensuring precise float placement, while the tip remains sensitive enough to cushion light hooklengths and detect delicate bites. It’s this unique blend of control and refinement that makes the Acolyte Plus Float range a favourite among serious float anglers.   High-Performance Carbon Construction Each Acolyte Plus Float Rod is constructed using high-modulus carbon fibre, developed by Drennan’s engineers to produce a slim, lightweight blank with exceptional responsiveness and strength. The carbon layering and taper have been finely tuned to provide a semi-through progressive action — soft enough in the tip to protect fine lines but with a more powerful mid and butt section to handle bonus fish or deal with flow and distance. This means the rod bends smoothly when playing fish, maintaining pressure evenly throughout the blank and reducing hook pulls, while still giving you the control and lifting power needed for larger fish and stronger flows.   Available Models   The Acolyte Plus Float range is available in 13ft and 14ft models, each designed for specific float fishing scenarios: 13ft Plus Float Rod – The perfect all-rounder for both stillwaters and light river work. Ideal for wagglers, sliders, or traditional stick floats. 14ft Plus Float Rod – Provides extra line control and casting range for deeper or faster rivers, or when fishing at distance on open stillwaters.   Both rods share the same crisp, responsive action, with the 14ft offering a touch more leverage and reach for challenging venues.     Perfect for Mixed Venues These rods truly shine on venues where variety is the name of the game. The Acolyte Plus Float range can handle everything from light waggler work for roach and skimmers to margin float fishing for carp or tench. The rods handle mainlines from 3lb to 6lb, with hooklengths down to 2lb if needed, and enough power to subdue quality fish without risking breakages. This makes them ideal for anglers who fish a mix of commercials, natural lakes, and rivers — offering one rod that does it all with style and precision.     Casting Accuracy and Line Pick-Up As with all Acolyte rods, casting performance is outstanding. The blanks recover quickly after the cast, ensuring wagglers and stick floats land accurately and consistently. The lightweight build and perfect balance make it easy to cast with precision, even at long range. Once your float is in position, the rod’s extra power allows for fast line pick-up and positive striking, so you connect instantly with bites — crucial when fishing at distance or in choppy water. Whether you’re laying on with a heavy stick float or fishing a slider in deep water, the Acolyte Plus Float Rods keep you in complete control of your presentation.   Fish-Playing Action The progressive action of the Acolyte Plus Float Rods is one of their standout qualities. The rod bends smoothly and evenly, cushioning the lunges of powerful fish while maintaining constant pressure. This makes them ideal for handling everything from small silvers to proper specimens. The forgiving tip helps prevent hook pulls, while the powerful mid and butt sections provide the strength to steer carp, tench, and chub safely to the net. In short, these rods give you the confidence to fish fine for bites and still have the backbone to handle anything that bites back.     Premium Components and Build Quality   Drennan’s attention to detail is clear in every Acolyte Plus Float Rod. Built with the finest materials and fittings, they combine traditional elegance with modern practicality. Key features include: Lightweight stainless-frame guides with smooth, low-friction inserts for easy casting and line flow. Screw-down DPS-style reel seat, giving a secure, balanced fit for your reel. High-grade cork handle with EVA trim for comfort, grip, and durability. Matte low-glare blank finish with subtle graphics and Drennan’s signature Acolyte detailing. Every component has been carefully chosen to complement the rod’s light, balanced feel and deliver long-lasting performance.   Comfort and Balance   Even with the added strength of the Plus models, Drennan has maintained the effortless balance that defines the Acolyte range. These rods sit perfectly in the hand, feeling light and responsive without tip heaviness. The cork and EVA handle combination offers excellent grip, even when wet, while the slim blank makes the rod easy to hold for long sessions. The result is a rod that’s powerful yet refined — equally suited to speed fishing for roach or playing a large carp with control and precision.     Performance on the Bank   In real fishing conditions, the Acolyte Plus Float Rods perform beautifully. Casting is effortless and accurate, float control is precise, and the blank’s recovery ensures no wobble or vibration. The rods excel in situations where you might need to step up slightly from the ultra-fine Acolyte Ultra — for example, when using heavier wagglers, thicker lines, or targeting bigger fish. Striking feels sharp and immediate, and once you’re into a fish, the smooth, progressive action gives total confidence. Whether you’re fishing commercials for mixed species or targeting quality fish on natural venues, the Acolyte Plus Float Rods deliver the performance you need.   Ideal Applications The Acolyte Plus Float range is perfect for: Commercial carp and F1 fishing with wagglers or pellet floats. River float work for chub, roach, and dace. Stillwater bream and tench fishing with heavier wagglers or sliders. General mixed-species venues where flexibility is key. They’re designed to handle the rough-and-tumble of larger fish while maintaining the refined performance and sensitivity of a true float rod.   Conclusion – The Perfect Balance of Power and Finesse The Drennan Acolyte Plus Float Rods bridge the gap between finesse and strength, offering the ideal tool for anglers who need one rod that can handle a wide range of float fishing challenges. Light, crisp, and perfectly balanced, yet strong and dependable under pressure, they deliver the smooth casting, precise control, and powerful fish-playing performance that serious anglers demand. Available in 13ft and 14ft models High-modulus carbon blanks – slim, strong, and lightweight Progressive through-action for smooth fish control Cork/EVA handle and stainless guides for quality and comfort Ideal for commercials, rivers, and natural stillwaters For anglers who want a rod that feels refined but has the muscle to cope with big fish and tough venues, the Acolyte Plus Float is the perfect choice. Drennan Acolyte Plus Float Rods – the all-round float rods that combine finesse, strength, and classic Drennan performance.

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.

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.

Kaizen Platinum 12ft 3.5lb Test Curve Rod – The Ultimate All-Rounder If you’re after a rod that can do it all, the Kaizen Platinum 12ft 3.5lb test curve rod is the one for you. Designed for versatility, this rod can handle everything from delicate flicks on small, intimate venues to blasting a rig over 35 wraps on a big, open water like Gigantica. Whether you’re stalking fish in the margins or sending a lead way out into the horizon, this high-end, lightweight, and perfectly balanced blank is built to deliver. Danny Fairbrass on the Kaizen Platinum 12ft 3.5lb: “I’ve been using a heavier version during field testing, but it’s nice to go back to the 12ft 3.5lb rods as they are the all-rounders. If you want to fish anywhere from one yard to 140 yards, with pinpoint accuracy, then these are the ones.” The Kaizen Journey – Designed for Performance The Kaizen rod range has been in development for over four years, and it all started with a simple idea: to create high-end rods that outperform anything currently on the market. Despite being Korda’s first foray into rod manufacturing, we pulled together the best minds in the business, including our Team Korda anglers and product development specialists, to create something truly exceptional. Danny Fairbrass has been involved in rod design for years, working on some of the most well-regarded models on the market. It was a natural progression for Korda to create its own premium range, tailored to the exact specifications that he and our anglers demand. The goal was simple: a collection of top-tier rods that excel in every carp fishing scenario, whether you’re casting to the horizon or playing a fish at close quarters. What Makes the Kaizen Platinum Special? Tapered to Perfection All Kaizen rods are built on a fast-tapered profile mandrel, meaning the blank has a continuous taper from butt to tip. This gives them a ‘tippy’ action, with most of the flex concentrated at the tip end. When you’re putting in a powerful cast, the rod will bend all the way through, but the real benefit is in power transfer—faster tip speeds and longer casts with minimal effort. This taper also means quicker line pick-up, essential for setting the hook at range. And when you’re playing a big fish close in, the progressive power transfer helps cushion those last-minute lunges, reducing the risk of hook pulls. You get the best of both worlds—power when you need it and finesse when it matters most. Superior Japanese Carbon – Lightweight and Powerful The backbone of the Kaizen Platinum rods is a super tensile, high-grade Japanese carbon known as ZERO90. This carbon is used in just two layers with minimal resin, resulting in an incredibly lightweight yet ultra-responsive blank. This means: Effortless casting – More power goes into your cast without unnecessary strain. Pinpoint accuracy – Less blank twist means straighter, more controlled casts. Instant tip recovery – The rod stops bouncing almost immediately after casting, ensuring your rig lands precisely where you aimed. Over long distances, even small improvements in accuracy make a huge difference. These rods give you that extra edge. Built to Last Durability is key, and the Kaizen Platinum rods don’t disappoint. The blank is coated with a clear matt finish that not only looks stunning but also withstands years of exposure to sunlight and moisture. Each rod has been rigorously tank-tested to ensure longevity. Premium Components for a Custom Feel No compromises were made when it came to fittings. Every Kaizen Platinum rod is equipped with: Sea-Guide TDG lightweight rings – A 50mm butt ring and a 16mm tip ring, designed to reduce friction and allow leader knots to pass through smoothly. Fuji DPS reel seat – Securely holds your reel in place, offering comfort and stability. Japanese shrink grip handle – Provides a solid grip, even in wet conditions. JAG-etched aluminium butt cap and trim – A touch of class to complete the look. Choosing the Right Kaizen Model The Kaizen range offers a variety of models to suit every angling situation: 12ft 3lb, 3.5lb, and 4lb fishing rods – Covering everything from close-range work to long-range casting. 12ft spod rod – Designed for accuracy and distance when baiting up. 12ft 6in 4lb – The perfect alternative to a 13ft rod if you want extreme range without the extra length. 13ft 3.5lb and 4lb – The go-to rods for those looking to hit serious distances. For long-range anglers, the 4lb models are a game-changer. With the right technique, these rods can put a lead beyond 200 yards, as demonstrated by casting experts Terry Edmonds and Darrell Peck. They even feature in our upcoming Long Range Masterclass filmed at Iles3 in France. Danny Fairbrass on the Kaizen Platinum Rods: “They are an absolute joy to use. So lightweight, yet powerful, with really light rings that let them move through the air effortlessly. They cast perfectly straight and look absolutely gorgeous as well.” The Verdict No matter your style or ability, there’s a Kaizen rod that will help you fish more accurately and at greater distances than ever before. Combining cutting-edge materials with expert design, these rods represent the pinnacle of carp fishing performance. If you’re serious about your fishing and want a rod that can handle anything, the Kaizen Platinum is the ultimate choice. Whether you’re looking for an all-rounder or a specialist long-range tool, this range has you covered. Experience the Kaizen difference – where precision meets performance.
