I only fish commercials due to disability. My money went on 4 Acolyte rods. 11ft Carp waggler. 12ft Ultra waggler and two 9ft plus feeder and bomb rods.
Bought the 13 foot Ultra a couple of weeks back very impressed on my local commercial carp to 8 pounds no problem cant wait to give it a go on the local canal
Great video lads. Used to be a Tricast and Daiwa devotee as a lad growing up in Sheffield but now I’m half a century old and mostly fish rivers in Surrey, I don’t think you can beat an Acolyte💥🤜🎣 Way ahead of the game when they first came out too. The ultras are perfect for stick, bolo or waggler.
Cracking video. What would suggest for silvers on commies during winter, but mainly fish the Ouse, Swale and Ure with stick and waggler up here in North Yorkshire
What is the casting weight of the 14 ft TP, can it handle more than the indicated 12 gram? This is quite light for a float rod… for proper waggled fishing at distance you need 20 gram.
I’ve got to be honest I’ve just bought a new 17ft tournament s and it basically feels like my 17ft acolyte with a brick tied on the end , it’s a nice rod but in comparison to the drennan it’s disappointing really considering the price difference, drennan definitely make the best long float rods on the market and the handle on the daiwa is too short (about 4 inches shorter than the drennan) which probably upsets the balance abit . Being the gimp I am I weighed it and it’s over an once heavier too😞
Slight exaggeration I think , hope they have removed the flat spot off the acolytes , not bad for the money, but their is a lot better out their I’ve tested many rods ,
Rive Delta long cast feeders used those types of rings 4-5 years ago and everyone was horrified, now that Daiwa adopted them they will happily bend over and brag about it.

Drennan acolyte value for money fantastic range of rods
I’ve got an Acolyte 11ft, 13ft and 15ft ultra, a Acolyte 17ft and an Acolyte 11ft Carp Waggler. They are simply awesome.
Totally agree have a 14 and 17 foot Acolyte they do everything.
thank you guys, for this very informative video

Please i use the korum glide with 10lb main line is there any other option for me than that rod....
Best rods I've used since nornark microlight and titan which are still better than pretty much everything else
The Acolyte plus isn't a barbel float rod by any means.
Myself and many friends have snapped them in half trying to play barbel.
Haven't you found the clutch on your reel yet?
Cadence or Hi S ?

Any chance of some reel reviews Alan?

Hello can anyone tell me where this shop is please
Wickersley near rotherham
Best on the market in yrs... Soñik SKS waggler rod . Less than fifty quid. Very light mega strong.. I'll never buy another make of rod again
You wouldn't know until you have used an Acolyte.
I’m surprised the browning sphere river rods don’t get a mention.
They aren’t readily available now is my guess but agree they are superb
The audio is terrible.
£200+ for a fishing rod is just a theft
Trying to play the fish sounds about right a bad workman always blames his tools?
