Plus.Drennan acolyte
Got a question about the acolyte? Looking them up the reel lines are only recommended to 6lb from what i can see? Is this the case?
Also preferred using a Longer rod now for a while. What length do people go for? Thanks hope this is ok tight it was relevant
The 17' Acolyte, I've waggled one in a shop, seems brilliant.
Similar to my experience with my 13' Acolyte plus.Slightly strange action. Relatively small fish put quite a bend in it, but it copes better than I expected with decent fish. I wouldn't be too keen to tangle with a barbel on it. For a 17' rod, the weight and balance are incredible.
Similar to my experience with my 13' Acolyte plus.
At first I thought it couldn't possibly cope with Barbel, being so great with silvers, then one day I landed 5 Barbel to nearly 10lb, needing to keep them from burying themselves in some tree roots on the upper Lea.
The power in the lower rod is phenomenal, while the top section remains very sensitive. Playing small fish is a pleasure, likewise lumps.
