A much-awaited release from Drennan a few years back, the wait was well worth it as the Acolyte quickly established itself as one of the best, if not THE best top-flight pole on the market and as it was designed in conjunction with Alan Scotthorne, you’d expect nothing else!
Lightness, strength and durability, it’s all here in 16m of absolute perfection with incredible stiffness as full length thanks to the use of an Ultra High Modulus carbon and resin blend for a rapid response on the strike with no droop or bounce. Admittedly not an out-and-out heavy-duty pole for commercial carp work, the Acolyte will still handle general work on these waters with the minimum of fuss.
Depending on your preference, you can pick standard or carp top kits or even a combination of the two and both styles are take-apart rather than telescopic at approximately 2.89m long. Standard kits are for light to medium elastics while the stronger carp kits will deal with bigger fish. They also have a re-inforced wrap on the No 2 section so you can drill to convert them into a puller kit system. Each kit is also pre-bushed with a top quality Drennan PTFE bush to fit snugly.
A strong and super stiff cupping kit is also supplied measuring approximately 4.47m long to help you tackle deeper venues when needed. Also supplied are two 250ml Polemaster pots. Added extras include two spare extra No 3 sections and two reversible mini extensions that fit every section from the No 5 right up to the 16m butt section. Also included is a full set of four Skid Bungs all packed away in a smart and spacious Acolyte pole holdall.
