Information

The eagerly awaited Acolyte Carp is here! Purpose built for carp and com­mer­cial fish­eries, this stateoftheart pole has been designed in con­junc­tion with five times World Champion, Alan Scotthorne.

Although this is a dif­ferent animal to the Acolyte, it is still built on the same highspec man­drel (so, again, a true 16m length without the need for extra exten­sions), which ensures it is still impress­ively slim with all of the advant­ages that offers. A careful blend of ultra high mod­ulus (UHM) carbon and resins have helped to create a pole that is easy to fish with all day at max­imum length. Although not indes­truct­ible, it is extremely strong and powerful enough for the rigours of catching bags of hardfighting carp. Importantly, this pole still remains stiff enough to react to bites quickly and per­forms excep­tion­ally well, even with a polemounted pot on the end and a short line between the pole tip and float. The strength and rigidity of the Acolyte Carp also lends itself par­tic­u­larly well to ‘slap­ping’ or ‘heli­coptering’ a pole rig which is a tech­nique often used to catch carp up in the water on commercials.

The pole is avail­able in three lengths: 13.0, 14.5 and 16.0m and with an excep­tional spares package, including a total of six Carp Top 2s, an extrarigid Cupping Top 2 and a pair of revers­ible mini exten­sions which fit the No5 sec­tion back to the 16m butt sec­tion. All Acolyte Carp pole kits also use a new No1 Carp Plus tip sec­tion. This is an upgraded ver­sion of the ori­ginal Carp No1, which was designed for the topoftherange Acolyte pole. This gives even greater security espe­cially when using modern puller systems. The pole is ready to fish without cut­ting back should you choose to fit tra­di­tional smallbore PTFE bushes, but we delib­er­ately supply larger dia­meter bushes for use with both light and strong elastics. The smaller PTFE bushes sup­plied only require the tip to be cut back about 10cm. These bushes have an external dia­meter of 4.5mm and a choice of two internal bore dia­meters; 3.2mm for up to Yellow/Pink Carp Bungee and 1.8mm for light solid elastics. The biggest PTFE bushes sup­plied have a 5.4mm external dia­meter which requires only 1820cm of the tip cut­ting back. Again, there is a choice of two internal bores; 4.1mm for Pink/Red Carp Bungee and 1.8mm for light solids. The advantage of this system is that you can keep your top kits the same length, no matter what dia­meter of elastic is used. A larger dia­meter cup­ping adaptor is also sup­plied so you can also ensure your cup­ping kit is the same chosen length as your top kits. Along with a selec­tion of Skid Bungs, EVA nose cones, pole pot, five sets of dif­ferent sized PTFE bushes and a handy Visi Case, per­haps its greatest addi­tional offering is that each top kit comes with factory fitted Side Pull Slots and Drennan’s latest Roller Cone accessories!

The white ‘Side Pull Slots’ are made from a superslick PTFE material. Their elong­ated shape is designed to soften the angle of pull and works more effi­ciently than a simple round hole. When the optional Roller Cone system is fitted, this improves the per­form­ance of the PTFE slot even further. The clever Roller Cone device deserves a spe­cial men­tion, as it has been designed and engin­eered to the highest stand­ards. The cone itself is moulded to fit neatly up against the Side Pull Slot for per­fect align­ment and to main­tain its pos­i­tion inside the pole sec­tion. Its roller wheel is machined so it has an ultra smooth sur­face and is mounted on a mini­ature stain­less steel spindle, which has again been machined in the Drennan engin­eering work­shops. The end result is a quality of build that is ultra smooth, silent and trouble free!

You get a total of six top kits with the standard 13.0, 14.5 and 16.0 pack­ages. This includes four Carp Kits and two of the latest Double Top 2 Kits. Each top kit is factory fitted with the latest Side Pull system. Extra top kit pack­ages can also be easily arranged with your tackle dealer.
