Product Information
The Drennan Vertex Distance Feeder Rod 12ft is a two-piece distance feeder rod for anglers fishing loaded feeders beyond normal commercial range. It sits in the Vertex feeder family as the shorter distance model, aimed at accuracy and power without stepping up to a longer rod.
Drennan describes the blank as high modulus carbon, slim and rigid, with a mellow fish-playing action. That combination is intended to provide casting reserve while helping reduce hook pulls once a fish is on.
The 12ft model is rated to cast up to 80g and is supplied with 2oz and 3oz carbon Distance Feeder tips. Those tips match the rod to stronger feeder work, tow and open-water bite indication. Enlarged guides are fitted to help casting and allow shockleader knots to pass through more easily. Recommended reel lines are 6lb to 10lb mono or 0.08mm to 0.12mm braid.
This is a useful choice for larger commercials, reservoirs and bream venues where a standard medium feeder rod feels short of reach. The two-piece layout also suits anglers who like transporting a feeder rod made up in a ready sleeve.
Anglers should view it as a controlled distance feeder rather than a heavy river rod. The stated 80g limit gives enough range for many venues without pushing into specialist extreme-distance territory.
