Short Overview

The Drennan Acolyte Float Rod 17' is a premium 5,18 m float rod, developed for anglers seeking low weight, perfect balance, and superior float and line control. It is ideal for precise float fishing on rivers and lakes, especially when long and accurate casts are needed while protecting fine hooklengths.

Description

This model from the Acolyte series is made from high modulus carbon and stands out for its ultra-slim blank, fast response, and reliable performance under load. A stiff and responsive blank with a faster tip action and a softer mid-section provides excellent control of stick floats, wagglers, and bolo floats, with stability in the wind and reduced tip drop. The rod is designed for float fishing in situations where line control, bait presentation, and accuracy are crucial.
