The ultra has just a fraction more power than the matchpro. But its not a lot you would need to have them both side by side to feel a difference.
The plus is not a beefy rod either it just slightly more powerful than the Ultra. I would say to me it looks and feels more versatile covering more possibility's but not over powerful it cant cope with some finesse fishing.
I know a lot of lads who use the plus for general river trotting for anything from dace to large swale chub.
Most Drennan shops will have the full selection in stock so check them out.
The darlo shop does anyway.
Took the words out of my mouth. No way is the plus a poker by any means. I have the 13ft Ultra and a 14ft plus that i use for trotting and still water. In my view the plus is a much better all round float rod. It' got the back bone for Carp, Chub, Tench etc whilst still a tip that shows even the little knocks from small Roach. I use the Drennan FD300 for still waters and a pin for trotting. The plus is a much more versatile rod between the 2. My 13ft ultra mostly sits in my man cave and to be honest i don't think ive even used it this session. The max line i would use on my 14ft plus is 5.6lb floatfish or 6lb Perlon. Going up to 12lb is just stupid and looking for trouble.
