Waited for this to come out for ages, just like the other lengths brilliant. Have used 13-14- and 15ft Acolyte Ultra rods for the last couple of years and this feels just as good, i have got 2 17ft rods but this is in a different league.Can't wait to use it. Tony Manchester.

At 17ft this Drennan Rod gives an advantage when fishing Rivers/Canals. However, I found it to be slightly heavy, and therefore not so quick to pick up the line when striking a bite, trotting on the river. I have not used the Rod on the Canal as yet, and it maybe easier to use with a slower flow water ? I prefer to use my 15ft Acolyte Ultra Rod, when trotting on fast flowing stretches of the river.

Anyone who has held (or tried to hold) a MAP 18’-20’ Dave Harrell float rod all day will bless their eyes when they use this rod. Of course it is heavier than a 12’ or 13’ float rod, you cannot defy the Laws of Physics! However, unless you use and compare this rod with the finest and lightest of rods from other manufacturers, you may find this delightful tool lighter than the 13 footer you use every day. You absolutely CAN fish with this rod all day, I have done so, and I didn’t have arm ache even though I have caught all day in the summer. It is a jewel. I have one and I am desperate to get a second one as I live in fear of the day that I step on this one and accidentally crush it. Get one, ... if you like stick float fishing for roach and dace it is a beauty. Why you would use one on a canal is beyond me, though. (See other reviews here)Read full review

arrived quicker than expected set it up in the garden, very impressed with light weight, slimness, through action and build quality. Not used yet due to recent weather conditions but can tell it will be ideal bought for use on the river Yare i have used a 16ft browning which is a lot heavier a thicker than drennam. Very satisfied with purchase.

Asttonishing that a 17 foot rod can be this light. Delightful action and very well made.
