The Drennan Acolyte Ultra 13ft Float rod, an exceptionally slim, high modulus carbon blank weighing just 4.75oz and is beautifully balanced. Paired with a compact float fish reel, it tends to sit up in the hand at an angle above horizontal. It has been designed principally for reel lines from 2.5lb to 4lb plus, that’s roughly 0.12/0.14mm up to 0.16/0.18mm diameter monofilament. The blank feels very rigid and has a light crisp action with little or no bounce, so it provides really excellent line and float control. At the same time, the tip action is soft enough to act as a gentle shock absorber, cushioning the strike and preventing hook pulls. This allows for lighter hook lengths to below 1lb/0.08mm to be fished with confidence.FeaturesAverage rod weight of 4.75oz (135g)High modulus carbon blankThree sectionsUltra slimLightweight and perfectly balancedExcellent line and float controlCrisp and responsive blankSuitable for reel lines from 2lb 8oz to 4lb Can be used with ultra light hooklengths below 1lb (0.08mm)Full cork handleEngraved butt capFuji reel seat
