The Drennan Acolyte Plus 10ft Feeder is super slim and lightweight with reserves of power. It is more powerful than the Acolyte Ultra 10ft Feeder and set to be a popular choice on commercial fisheries where big fish are the target but only a modest cast is required. The 10ft Plus is great for hard-fighting fish like tench, chub, F1s and match-sized carp. The smooth, parabolic playing action still copes really well when smaller fish are hooked. The relatively short 10ft (3.05m) length really helps to bring fish much closer in for ease of netting.

Fea­turing a super-slim blank but with extra strength to punch out larger floats and con­trol quality fish like carp, tench and chub easier. It's per­fectly matched with reel lines from 4lb to 6lb+ and hook­lengths from 3lb (0.13mm) to 5lb (0.16mm).

It is particularly suitable for river fishing, as the crisp tip section offers supreme line control with stick floats, wagglers and bolo floats. The extra length of this three-piece rod is also a great asset when tackling deeper swims.

At 2.74m the Plus 9ft Feeder has an average weight of just 4½ oz (120g) and is perfect when fishing from platforms and tight swims on commercial fisheries when the shorter length will also help to bring the fish closer in for swifter netting.

Fans of our Acolyte Ultra float rods have been crying out for a family of Acolyte feeder rods made to the same luxurious quality. It has taken a considerable amount of time and effort to field-test prototypes and then fine-tune every element in our design rooms – but we are sure you will be impressed with the finished product!

This 12ft (3.66m) rod has a super slim blank with plenty of backbone for casting feeders of up to 60g (2oz) with greater accuracy. Stand-off SiC guides also allow the line to flow smoothly for increased casting potential. This rod is ideal for medium to long range work up to 60 metres, but distances greater than this are achievable with the right tackle and a good casting technique.

Paired with a compact float fish reel, the rods tends to sit up in the hand at an angle above horizontal, making them a joy to fish with all day.

The 12ft Acolyte Ultra float rod boasts an exceptionally slim, high modulus carbon blank that is a real pleasure to use.
