This new Acolyte 11ft Plus feeder is a super slim, lightweigh all round feeder rod which has a 'stepped-up' action to handle large fish.
The 11ft (3.35m) length is the perfect all-round choice for ease of both casting and playing fish on a wide variety of venues. The rod has more power than the 11ft Ultra Feeder, which makes it an ideal choice for quality fish like bream, tench, chub, carp and F1s. However, the smooth, parabolic playing action still copes really well when reeling in smaller silverfish.
The slim, crisp and responsive blank cuts through the air and offers optimum casting accuracy. The cast is further enhanced by stand-off SiC guides that are deliberately spaced to help the line travel through them as smoothly as possible.
This rod is ideal when matched to feeders up to 60g (2oz) and will easily cope with ranges up to 50 metres. Greater distances are achievable with sensibly balanced tackle and a good casting technique.
The 11ft Plus comes with three push-in carbon tips of 2oz, 2.5oz and 3oz. These super-slim tips have been designed to blend perfectly with the rod blank.
The rod can be neatly folded away into two sections, so it can be carried to the bankside in a Rod Sleeve or Rod Case and assembled in seconds. A useful set of Neoprene rod socks and a rod-retaining band are also included to help keep everything secure and protected in transit.
The Acolyte Plus 11ft Feeder has taken almost two years of field-testing, refining and perfecting by our dedicated team of experts. The result is a rod that casts like a dream and allows you to play fish with confidence.
It comes with three low diameter carbon tips of 2oz ,2.5oz & 3.0oz that each blend in perfectly with the blank.
Note: The slim carbon tips supplied are different to standard 3.5mm Drennan tips and beacause they are slimmer they will bend more for a higher test curve. New lighter grades from 1oz will be available during November.
The rod also packs away neatly into two sections for ease of transport in a Rod Sleeve or Rod Case.
Useful Neoprene rod socks and a rod-retaining band are also included to help protect and keep everything together in transit.
