Description

Tell Me About It

Presenting a high modulus carbon blank, the ultra slim, three section Drennan Acolyte 17ft Float Rod is designed to give you the most enhanced line and float control yet, in a rod that’s perfectly balanced, with a sharp, responsive action, and a lightweight strength that allows you to excel in any fishing scenario.

The extra length on this rod gives you the perfect, precision control of your floats in deep, running water, and is a float fishing connoisseur’s dream, designed to get maximum effect and impact.

With a full cork handle and engraved cap, the Acolyte features a hyper-responsive Fuji reel seat, which allows you to feel all the action throughout your rod.

The Drennan Acolyte Float Rod has been developed and tested over 18mths, with input from  Alan Scotthorne, and several top-level match anglers, which has influenced every stage of the process.

With a rigid yet responsive blank, this float rod gives you smooth action and precise control, in a rod that won’t be bent under heavy winds, or pulled by strong currents, making it ideal if you’re float fishing a river in flood, or a fast-flowing water like the Avon.

What Discipline Is It For?

Designed to give coarse and match anglers the best possible performance on natural waters and fast-flowing venues, the Acolyte Float Rod is a rod designed and built by professionals, for professionals, and a tackle item that will bring an edge to your angling experience.

Why Should I Buy It?

While some anglers might consider float fishing a bit old school, for others there’s nothing more engaging than keeping your eye on a small, bobbing piece of plastic, well out in the water. Whether you’re using wagglers, bolo floats, or pencil floats, float fishing can be a good way to mark up your ground bait placement, and makes it crystal clear when a fish is running for weeds or other snags.  With a float out on the water, you can see exactly what’s going on, and a good float rod, fished properly, can give you better accuracy than many bite alarms.

What’s The Best Thing About It?

The extra length and enhanced control of the Drennan Acolyte 17ft Float Rod makes it an ideal option for match anglers fishing larger or faster venues, and gives you a greater angling range than is currently offered by most rods on the market.
