Drennan Acolyte Pro Carp 13m Base Pole (without top kits)

Again, a purpose built pole for carp and commercial fisheries, this state-of-the-art pole has also been designed in conjunction with five times World Champion, Alan Scotthorne. In fact Alan lent his 1^st prototype to his son Oliver for some ‘serious’ summer bagging and couldn’t get it back. So we built him another !

Built on the same high-spec mandrel as the Acolyte Pro but utlising different carbons and resins to make an even more durable pole with increased section strength. Although we would never claim any pole to be indestructible the Acolyte Pro Carp is extremely strong and powerful and easily capable of withstanding the rigours of repeatedly catching bags of hard-fighting carp. 

At the same time this new Acolyte Pro Carp is lighter than the original, (noticeably) better balanced and more responsive - especially at the longer 14.5 and 16m lengths. Despite its strength advantage over the Acolyte Pro the Acolyte Pro Carp remains stiff enough to react to bites quickly and performs exceptionally well, even with a pole-mounted pot on the end and a short line between the pole tip and float. It has a noticeably quicker reaction when compared to the original Acolyte Carp.

The main sections from the butts back up to the No5 are built on new mandrels and so different to the original but, importantly, the No 4 and No 3 sections are the same size – albeit in different materials – and so interchangeable with the original. All male & female joints are reinforced to help reduce wear and prolong pole life.
