Product Information
Drennan's Specialist Specimen range is four rods, in 11ft and 12ft at 1¼lb and 1½lb test curves, for use on both rivers and stillwaters.
They cover species from silverfish through to bigger chub, tench and bream, with tactics including bolt rigs, method feeders, helicopter rigs and running rigs.
The 1¼lb rods are for smaller species such as roach, rudd and perch. Their large diameter guides are critically spaced for casting accuracy, and the progressive power action avoids hook pulls when playing and landing fish.
The 1½lb rods are for chub, barbel, tench, bream and mid-sized carp, and have slightly larger diameter guides that improve both distance casting and accuracy.
The blanks are carbon fibre with full SiC guides, a 16mm DPS reel seat and a slim cork and EVA handle.
