Drennan has today revealed several new products that will be arriving in stores in time for the summer. The Summer 2024 product launch includes two new Specialist Barbel rods just in time for the river season opening on 16th June. There are also some new hook patterns, bait up rods, heavy-duty pole elastics and more.
You can find details of the Drennan Summer 2024 new product launch below:
Power Pull Elastic
Two new elastic sizes have been added to the solid core Power Pull Elastic range. The first addition is a light blue coloured 2.6mm diameter elastic rated at 19-21. The second is a pink 2.8mm diameter elastic rated at 21-23.
Power Pull is an advanced performance solid core pole elastic which provides better stretch and recovery, better long life durability and better fish playing power. 2.6mm and 2.8mm sizes have joined the range summer 2024!
Acolyte Bait Up Rods and Braid
Two Acollyte Bait Up rods have been added to the range. The 10′ and 12′ rods are perfect for casting large feeders of up to 6oz when pre-baiting. To accompany the new bait up rods, Drennan has also introduced a new eight-strand smooth braid. The braid is 0.17mm in diameter with a 24lb breaking strain.
The Acolyte 10ft and 12ft Bait Up rod is specifically designed for pre-baiting with large bait-up feeders up to 6oz (170g), these rods have superb casting actions with large guides for improved distance and accuracy.
Acolyte Bait Up Braid. This silky smooth 8 strand braid has been extensively field-tested over two seasons. It’s proven to be tough, strong and long-term durable.
At 24lb (10.8kg) nominal breaking strain and just 0.17mm diameter, its the perfect diameter for casting fully loaded bait up feeders with accuracy. The dark green colour reduces the risk of spooking fish already in your swim.
Pole Hook Ups
The new Pole Hook Ups and Depth Marker bands offer a quick and easy way to keep your pole rig safe when not in use.
Hook Ups allow you to keep your pole rig safely on your top kit when you are not using it. They are best set at rig depths to avoid exposing unnecessary lengths of elastic under tension. This avoids over-tensioning the elastic and exposing it to sunlight for too long.
Depth Marker Bands are coloured silicone pieces that can be adjusted along the pole section to your rig depth as required thus avoiding the use of Tipp-Ex.
Bait Brolly
The new Drennan Bait Brolly’s have been seen in use by the England Feeder team, and are now available in stores. The brolly offers a quick and convenient way to shelter your bait from the elements.
Drennan bait umbrellas fit conveniently onto the side tray set providing shade and shelter.
