I absolutely love them 2 piece compact designs from drennan. I’ve got the acolyte plus compact and it’s a beaut.
much nicer than the 3 pc versions.
im9 is an absolutely cracking rod for really light lines and hook lengths.

Richard. The IM9 has landed me carp over 20lb and chub over 6lb. I used it frequently for lines over 6lb and have also caught barbel over 9lb on it.

The beauty of it is that it is incredibly good for roach , big perch and similar as well.
Hard to find a more versatile rod that gives pleasure for so many species.

From my limited experience of having a go with one identical to Rob’s is It’s extremely similar to the acolyte ultra Graham. Not quite as powerful as the plus I’ve got but very capable like you say all round. I found it extremely good on lighter lines and hook lengths for smaller species. It might be capable of landing bigger fish but the plus is far better imo for that sort of fishing. Beautiful rods and rare to find now.
 
Yes have had one for 4 years and used a lot.
And a good pal gifted me another for helping him out a few times.

I know a lot of people love the acolytes.. but always had concerns at them breaking. One pal had two plus ones snap and two others had one go.

IM8s always had great reports and followers and the IM blanks have long term proven use.

I’ll watch out for that one then. So far my acolyte plus has been exceptionally good. Best float rod I’ve ever used.
she’s a bit on the powerful side for silvers but will handle them without bumping too many off but once you set into a big fat chub or tench it’s an absolute dream to lay into them on.
I was equally impressed with the compact im9 for the short period of time I used it. I had a few cracking Rudd on it and a small tench and again it was beautiful. Like I say very much like the acolyte ultra blank imo.

My browning sphere is a very light rod. My father still uses the old normark rods avenger & titans. The one I’m selling on here is one of my dads Rods he is having a little thin out cause he got so many float rods lol
