Description
Drennan Acolyte Medium Feeder 12ft 3pc
Beautifully balanced, light and slim, the Drennan Acolyte Medium Feeder 12ft is a 3-piece feeder rod with a wonderfully sensitive fish-playing action, yet with enough reserves of power to cast loaded feeders of 60g up to 60m-plus with genuine accuracy. Its a rod that gives away nothing in finesse despite its casting capability.
This blank sits below the Acolyte Distance Feeder rods in terms of outright power and casting ability, but makes up for it with increased sensitivity and cushioning, meaning much lighter hooklengths and smaller hooks can be fished with confidence. Its a genuinely perfect rod for silverfish and bream work.

Where To Use It
- Silverfish feeder fishing The sensitive, cushioning action is built to protect light hooklengths and small hooks when targeting delicate silverfish.
- Bream fishing on stillwaters and canals A genuinely balanced rod for working feeders steadily and playing bream with confidence.
- Medium-range feeder work Capable of casting loaded feeders up to 60g over 60m-plus with real accuracy, without feeling like a heavy distance tool in the hand.
- Anglers wanting finesse over outright power Positioned below the Acolyte Distance Feeder rods, this is the pick when sensitivity and cushioning matter more than maximum casting range.
Gerrys Fishing Pro Tip: Dont be tempted to load this rod right up to its maximum 60g feeder weight as standard its at its sweetest, most sensitive best with light to medium feeders, so save the heavier end of its range for when distance genuinely demands it.
