Hi all.
I'm in the market for a new float rod, needed mainly for Stillwater Chub fishing on the wag.
Needs to be light and sensitive but with a progressive action for when the unavoidable carp are hooked. 13ft and fished with 6lb mainline and lighter bottoms.
I've fished with a friends Preston Innovations Carbon active 13ft superfloat and its superb...probably the best float rod I've ever used. I was absolutely set on buying one of these when my attention was drawn to the Drennan Acolyte plus 13ft.
I haven't used one of these but have a love of Drennan products and own several of their superb rods.
Both Rods are around the same price but I'm stuck in a quandary as to which to go for...stick with the original idea of a Preston Rod, the original model has been upgraded by the absolute superfloat, which I have used and it was a lovely action perfect for its intended use...or go for the Drennan which I haven't used but have read all the reviews and its rated as a top product ?
Does anybody own either of these Rods and could you please give me some guidance.
Thanks. Neal.
