Drennan Acolyte rod

Thinking of getting the 13ft one for trotting rivers , anybody got one , would like some feed back, are they beefy enough for good size chub ?

^^ the above should give you some info. i'm hoping to get myself one in the near future

Just been looking for a local stockist (even Fosters haven't got it on their site). SWMBO "Why are you looking at new rods? You don't need any more"
Anyone know how it compares with the "Floatmaster", I may have to justify another float rod

A friend of mine has one and had a cracking bag of good sized chub off the Swale using the Acolyte. He said it handled them well and the rod feels like a dreamy and floaty light, his wife wasn't as impressed when she found out he'd ninja'd it into the garage

Yeah she wasn't too chuffed stu. I had to book a holiday to appease the situation.

As for comparison with the float master. I have both, the acolyte is a lot lighter, more tippy until you bend into something heavier and then it puts on a beautiful curve (but don't let that put you off thinking there is no power, wait till you bend into something!). The float master, other than giving you a 15ft option, has a softer more through action, and I would say is built to cope with slightly heavier fish.
