Using floats when pole fishing can be one of the most effective tactics to ensure that you know exactly what is going on under the surface of the water and if you’re looking for a top-quality pole float you need look no further than this offering from Drennan. Drennan is a company which was founded on float excellence. The business began in the 1960s when Peter Drennan first began to manufacture his own balsa wood floats out if his mother’s garage – primarily for his own use. However, it wasn’t long before other angler’s on the bank were asking for their own version and the demand for Peter’s floats soon far outstripped his ability to supply them. A tackle business was born and the company hasn’t looked back since.
The Tuff Eye Series Two Pole Floats showcase the very best that pole float design has to offer and they really do hark back to those original floats that first put Peter Drennan’s name on the map – albeit with some modern additions which really ensures that these floats stand out from the crowd. Where most balsa based pole floats cannot be trusted when targeting big carp, Drennan’s Tuff Eye technology ensures that your side-eye isn’t going anywhere, even under the pressure of a big, fighting carp. This is because the company has designed a unique plastic housing and twisted wire combination system, ensuring that the fine wire eye is anchored safely within a plastic body. This, in turn, is housed in the balsa wood float, holding the whole device together perfectly. This plastic housing system greatly extends the life span of your floatation device and, although no float can be called unbreakable, Drennan’s Tuff Eye Series Two Pole Floats are certainly more unbreakable than most!
Apart from improving the durability of the float, the plastic housing system also allows you to change your tips. Different colour tips are suitable for different angling situations and Drennan supplies a range of three prime-colour tips along with a classic black tip with each of its pole floats. This gives you a huge amount of choice and leaves nothing to chance on the bank. No matter what light level you’re fishing in, you’ll be able to change the tip of your float to ensure you can see it perfectly. This is why the Drennan Tuff Eye Pole Floats are supplied with a red/orange tip, a yellow tip, and a black tip. Drennan actually suggests angling with a black tip, when in doubt, as it is the most visible in the lightest conditions.
These Drennan pole floats are available in five different sizes. The smallest is the 4 x 12 size, followed by the 4 x 14. The float is then available in 0.5g, 0.75g, and 1g sizes, too. This allows you to pick the perfect float to suit your needs, the size of the fish you’re targeting, and the conditions of the water. Each float comes with four hi-visibility tips, all of which are completely interchangeable, too.
The Drennan Tuff Eye Series Two Pole Floats are perfect for use in a variety of pole fishing scenarios. If you’re an angler who enjoys match fishing and you are fed up with your floats breaking as soon as you come across a small snag or hard fighting fish, then these Tuff Eye Series Two Pole Floats are the perfect tools for you. Durable and practical, these floats are a classic showcase of Drennan’s quality of build and innovation of design.
