Pretty sure I've got a 12' Tremor Float somewhere. It says 1lb 6oz on the butt section but I doubt it's that.
Used it for wildies at a local lake some years ago.
A lovely rod, very light with decent backbone.
Would be really interested if anyone has any details of blank used etc.
Cheers,
Steve...
I use a River Tamer for this type of fishing. The only thing I would say, is the handle is too long. Years ago, I had a Harrison 1lb 6oz made up with a 20" handle (so it didn't overhang my elbow) which was perfect.....wish I hadn't sold it now 🙄
Make sure the rod you choose for rolling meat has...
I've had one for a few seasons now. Had barbel to 15+ on it. I like the supplied quiver for the feeder but find a 1.5oz tip more suited to my winter chub fishing.
My only gripe would be that the handle is a bit long for touch ledgering (for me anyway 😁)
Superb rod, you will not be dissapointed...
Very kind GE.
The sections fit in the IM9 case I currently have but I still want to use that for the 13 footer.
I'll take that off you please.
If you're down here soon, we'll meet up (my round 😁), otherwise, when my back is better I shall pop up your way for a fish 👍

Seems like Drennan are missing a trick.
Given the price and fragility of the longer acolytes, it's a shame they don't produce something to protect them......
Steve
Got the 15' plus at last and itching to give it a go but suffering with a bad back at the mo 🙁
Got to look at storage options now as suprisingly only supplied in a very flimsy rod bag. The last 'premium' Drennan rod I bought (13' IM9), came with a lovely padded case. Shame.
I've been using the old Drennan 13ft IM9 Classic for silvers and chib. Fantastic rod so I'm thinking more of the same (similar through action) with the Acolyte.
Sounds like I may need to buy a hard case though 😁
Thanks Kevin.
The last Drennan rod I bought came with a lovely padded case. I heard that the acolytes only come with a normal bag.
Wonder if there is some sort of protective case I could buy?
Steve
Apologies if not really barbel related but I know a lot of you guys are all rounders, so........
I'm going to treat myself to a 15 foot trotting rod. An acolyte is the obvious choice but are there any others that someone could recommend?
Cheers,
Steve
