Alan Scotthorne -The new Drennan Acolyte 17ft Rod

[@leepargetter2306]

Just been and had a look at the 9 foot feeder rod it's light but has a lot more power than I thought guy in the tackle shop was stand there watch this lovely bend and so much power can't wait to get one

Total weight is less important than balance. A balanced in the hand heavier rod will be far more pleasant to use than a lighter tip heavy rod. How does it balance?

The rod balances perfectly!

if it is as well made and as nice to use as the 14ft acolyte rod i have then it will be some piece of kit this and drennan need props here for taking the time to cater for anglers with a length of rod that is for fishing that is not as popular and probably wont sell as many as the conventional 13s and 14ft rods. I know where i will be looking when i need to replace my 17ft rod.

Looks good

Can a centerpin reel be used with this rod?,

[@DrennanTackleTV]

Yes, no problem. Perfect pair for trotting.
