Drennan Acolyte fiddlers / bottom rods

Drennan is the name all anglers associate with the best float and bottom rods. It's hard to argue with that. Although the range of Drennan fiddlers is narrow, for those looking for a very pleasant, fish-holding and reliable fader, this range is enough. Well, sometimes you have to buy another Shimano Aero x5 when conditions are extreme, but when it comes to 100g and below, Drennan is unrivalled in price. Yes, they are expensive faders, costing up to 2500 euros, but they are extremely popular. Demand speaks for itself.

The most popular Drennan Acolyte is the 14ft (420) 125g casting test. This feeder is a three-piece feeder, which is why it is probably ahead of the two-piece 13ft (390cm), which has a transport length of 190cm and requires a special case. The 14ft Acolyte is perfect for longer distances, although it is not the longest casting rod, but thanks to its length it is easier to move the catch over the edge of the cliff and it is pleasant in the hand because it is not heavy and it is not a stake. It can be fished both in the river and in still water. For those looking for a luxury feeder rod that casts farther, Shimano has introduced the Aero X7A feeder for 2025. Their Distance Series will help when you need to cast really far, whether you're fishing sitting on a platform or casting standing up in a Method feeder competition.

The 13ft (390cm) Extention fader, up to 100g test, is probably the only two-piece 3.9m long rod on the market. Its transport length would have no suitable holster at all if not for the idea of making a retractable rod in the handle. In this way, its transport length becomes the same as that of a two-piece 12ft shaft. And our fiddlers are already used to such transport lengths. This model has a really fun fast action, light weight and enough power for fishing not only in still water.

One of the most popular fiddlers for stillwater is the Drennan Acolyte 12ft+. It is a very fun rod for fishing medium distances and medium weights.

The even shorter Drennan rods, the 11ft and 10ft rods, are also highly appreciated by sportsmen. They come in two capacities, Plus and Ultra. The Ultra is very soft, the softest pick for fast fishing with very thin leashes. In competition, this is often the main rod of the angler. So far, Drennan Acolyte's slender rods have been unrivalled, but competitors are not slowing down and Shimano's new Aero X7a has introduced a series of Finnese fiddlers that are likely to shake up the market.
