Description
An incredibly versatile rod from the Drennan specialist range, designed to tackle a multitude of venues and species on both still and running water. Coming with two top sections, a traditional Avon style for float fishing, and a quiver section with a choice of either a 2oz glass or 3oz carbon tip. A rod that's a joy to use, with a pleasing casting and fish playing action. Manufactured from a high modulus carbon fibre blank, and fitted with high quality SiC rings and a secure DPS reel seat.
Available in a wide selection of lengths and test curves. The 1.25lb editions are great all rounders, supporting reel lines from 4 to 8lb. They're ideal for bream tench and chub without being to over gunned. While the heavier 1.5lb test curve recommends reel line's of between 6 to 10lb and is ideal for turbulent water conditions in winter and makes a great surface stalking rod in the summer. There's also an ultra lightweight 1lb option if your looking to fish with ultra light lines.

Questions and Answers
Q
Can the rod be used for carp fishing
A
Hi Jedd,
I have the 1.25lb 11ft and if your tackling smaller carp say up to 10lb then its fine. Anything bigger than that and it gets a bit scary. The 1.5lb obviously has a bit more backbone but if your going to a dedicated carp fishery I would recommend a dedicated carp rod.

Q
I am really torn between the 12' 1lb test curve or the 12' 1.25lb test curve. I mainly want a rod that I can fish on rivers with a bit of extra flow catching roach, bream or chub. I am worried that the 1lb test curve may not have enough back bone or that the 1.25lb may be over egging it? Any help much appreciated. All the best. Tom
A
Hi Tom,
As you are targeting smaller species the 1lb should be suitable, but if you are looking to throw heavier feeders, then maybe the 1.5lb would be more suitable.
Kind regards

Q
Hello, Sorry to trouble you but I have just got back into fishing after 30 years, and all my kit is regarded as antiquated. My idea with this rod is that I could use the quiver tips when going after bream, tench and even small carp of say 5-10lb, then switch to the normal rod tip (if I went for the 1.5lb test version) and use a bite alarm for larger carp 10-15lb. Does that seem plausible? Also the Korum allrounder has the final eye with an option to screw in a swing tip, does the drennan rod?
A
Hi Richard,
Yes, this sounds like a plausible use for the rod. I'm afraid it doesn't have the option for a screw in tip.
Kind regards

Q
Hello. Could you recommend some reels to consider matching with the 12ft 1.25lb, intended for light ledgering and/ or the lift method for tench? Thanks, Alan.
A
Hi Alan,
Something from 3000-4000 size would be ideal. I've got one of these and I've paired mine with a 3000 sized reel. I've also gone with a baitrunner style which tends to be slightly heavier than your average front drag fixed spool. Drennan themselves do some options worth considering. The red range reels are rear drag, whereas the series 7 option have'the baitrunner function.

Q
I have been looking for a rod to use for ledgering on a small Crucian water, do you think the 1lb rod will fit the bill, thanks Geoff
A
Hi Geoff,
The 1lb test curve is a great choice for targeting crucians.

Q
Although I am a fan of Drennan gear in general are there any alternatives I should be looking at. Roger

Hi Robert,
These are fantastic Rods, and you'll struggle to better them for the price. I own a set of the 12ft 1.25lb versions and would definitely highly recommend them. That being said we do stock a few alternatives you might be interested in. Have a look through our selection of Avon and specialist rods and if there's anything that you like the sound of, by all means get back to us with any questions you might have.''

Q
I want a pair of rods to use for Tench and Bream fishing on still water. As well as for Barbel and Chub on thr River. Would you recommend the 1.25lbs or 1.5lbs model? 12ft or 11ft? Thanks, Joe
A
Hi Joseph,
The 1.25lb is a good option for getting the best out of the species your targeting. I own a pair myself and they're not over gunned. As for the length, its really up to you. If your going to be float fishing on some deeper water venues then the 12ft might be a better option.''

Q
Would the 1 1/4 tc be powerful enough for river ribble barbel
A
Hi Timothy,
The 1/4 lb twin tip is a great all round choice for barbel and chub. If your planning on going out over winter when the river is carrying more water and using bigger leads and feeders then it might be worth stepping up to the 1.5lb option.
