Drennan Power Pike Flex 12ft 3.25lb Rod Review

Tom's quick review of his go too pike rods and gives an honest opinion on what he thinks of them.
The E-Sox Power Pikeflex Rod is designed as a dedicated big pike fishing tool. It is ideal for both legered deadbaits, or as a distance float rod.
At 12ft (3.6m) and with a test curve of 3.25lb the blank is capable of distance casting big deadbaits up to 8oz. The subtle, dark platinum blank is fitted with seven large diameter SIC guides, enabling stop lots to pass freely and optimising the distance. Just one 25mm line guide is fitted to the butt section.
Guides are double legged, adding extra rigidity to the blank, which helps set big trebles into bony jaws and to safeguard the rings against the rigours of big-water piking. The high modulus carbon blank has impressive reserves of power but a responsive tip for good line control, useful for counteracting drift when fishing at range. The progressive action comes through into the butt section, making the rod an excellent shock absorber and ideal for subduing big, hard-fighting pike.
Finished with an attractive cork handle with short EVA section and stainless E-Sox butt cap. At 25 inches (64cm), the handle enables double-hand overhead casting to compress the blank and get heavy rigs out to that distance drop-off. A quality Fuji DNPS 20 screw-up reel fitting will accommodate all but the biggest reels.
Recommended for use with main lines of 10lb to 15lb mono or braids of higher breaking strains.

Nice rod Tom, but what a cracking float you have on it,that looks an 11 out of ten 👍🎣🐊😉😉

[@alanstebbings2886]

They look like a reissue of the old 12ft Esox deadbait 3lb rod that I've had for years and still use The 12ft esox piker that replaced it has a plain cork handle and it doesn't half get grubby Might look at one of these myself

[@BobbleTv]

They really are lovely rods fella.

[@allweatherangler9586]

Been thinking of having at look at these myself. Do they have a line clip ?

[@BobbleTv]

Unfortunately not no.

Nice review Tomo 👌. What would be the price on them 🤔, as they would be awesome for carp fishing as well. Cos we found a couple of lks here in B.C 🇨🇦. That have 50lb + carp in them 🎣🙂😀. As I almost snapped my 2lb curve rods, the comman/mirror weighted 57lb 8oz .

They are £109.99 lovely bit of kit.
