Tell Me About It
The 9ft Acolyte Plus from Drennan is a 9ft Feeder Rod that's ideal for competitive carp anglers fishing F1s and small to medium sized match carp, featuring a fast, responsive blank with a crisp action that gives optimum casts and a smooth retrieve.
The super-slim rod plays in a parabolic action, forming a soft U shape through the water which cushions even lively fish throughout the play, ensuring they can be brought smoothly and safely to the bank with the least amount of stress or risk of injury, while the shorter rod length gives you superb control in the margins, and when your fish takes a run into heavy weed, or under snags.
Designed to be used with reels between 4lb-8lb, the Acolyte is a dependable, responsive, lightweight sectional rod that is ideal for fishing from staging platforms. The result of months of field testing, the Acolyte is an essential rod for anyone who fishes commercials, which are increasingly moving towards stocking the smaller, faster F1s, and for match anglers who will typically be bringing in smaller specimens.
The Drennan Acolyte is supplied with 1,5oz, 2oz, and 2,5oz quiver tips, and a pair of neoprene rod socks, which offer good protection in storage or in transit.
