Drennan - Specialist X-Tension Float Rod - 13'

Yes, because the butt section retracts into the handle, it packs down to the same transport length as a standard 12-foot two-piece rod.

The primary benefit is transportability without compromising on the reach, casting performance, or action of a true 13-foot float rod.

Absolutely. Its semi-through action is ideal for river work, offering enough control for trotting and enough power for fighting fish in current.

The rod is designed to handle reel lines between 3lb and 7lb+ test, covering most float fishing requirements.

While it is designed for specimen species like tench, bream, and chub, it is capable of handling small to medium-sized carp, provided you use an appropriate line strength.

Simply wipe down the blank with a damp cloth and ensure the telescopic joint is free of grit or sand before collapsing the rod for storage.

Clean the sliding area with a dry cloth and check for debris. Do not use lubricants as these can attract dirt.

Ensure the telescopic section is fully seated into the locking mechanism and check for debris inside the joint.
