EASY FISHING. Used n Abused Long Term Tackle Test Drennan 12 ft Competition Feeder Rod 

Good to see you Bill. Cleaning, repairing and reviewing our gear....next best thing to fishing. Thanks for sharing this.🎣

Thanks Bill. I always look forward to your videos. No mucking about, straight to the point and interesting. Keep going mate.

Hello Bill, firstly I hope that you, your wife and extended family are all well and staying safe. Now, thank you for the upload of the long-term Drennan Series 7 rod, not that I have one of those, as I bought the Drennan Red Range rod on your recommendation, which I have yet to use, but roll on June 16, by when I hope this lockdown will be well and truly over with. I trust your advice and love your shows, so please keep up the good work as there are many of us out here that look forward with anticipation to each and every upload. Stay well and safe, Bill, and tight lines to yourself also. Best wishes as always from Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey. 🐬🐟

Great video. Thanks for doing this Bill. We all need this level of detail and content in the videos we watch. Was chatting to MJ87 recently and he is fond of all Drennan delights too 🤩

Hi Bill. Great video as usual. I have the series 7 carp waggler and like you say it is a really versatile piece of kit. Handles everything I've chucked at it. They are a great rod. I can't see how much better the vertex is as these series 7 are great for the price. Top video and keep well.

Thank you for your testing! I use Olive-Oil to treat the cork handles. It gives a nice vintage look and you could clean it more easily. Greetings from Germany

I've got a 3 piece 13ft float version of this rod and it is great .The only thing I don't like about it is all the script written on it . I always wished they didn't bother with it as it takes the good look off it, in my opinion. I hope you are doing well during the lockdown x

Have a couple of shakspeare mach 1 feeder rods for a good few years...discounted price as they had already had mach 2 an d 3 on sale....cracking feeder rods ...half price at the time ...and still own a a shakspeare excelsior float rod...which apparently was the lightest float rod ever at the time..many years ago...thanks for the vlog bill..hope your all well 👍👍🍻🍻

Love the channel Bill. Keep it up. I’ve got a red range carp feeder and that’s really good. I agree on the series 7 rods. Very nice kit. I have the 13ft tench and specimen float and it’s lovely. Been looking at the vertex a d wondering if they are worth the money whilst there are still a few series 7 knocking about? Who knows. Reviews from club anglers will come I guess (as opposed to Drennans promo videos).

Looking well Bill, Nice to see you outside. Always a pleasure to watch your tackle reviews. Stevie in Fife.

I had the 9,6” -11” series 7 carp feeder, and at 9’6” it was a perfect carp bomb rod and it had a cult following. I even bought the 9ft acolyte plus feeder as I thought it would be an upgrade, the weight was less but the action of the acolyte too stiff

Nice review Bill thanks for sharing take care 👍 nice Rod

nice one billy boy, cant wait for the green light, take care pal.

Excellent looking rod Bill I'll have a look on EBAY for one, take care

Good review bill keep em coming value ur opinion...

Hi bill good to see you doin what you best great videos .i was considering the drennan vertix i think they do one for float fishing .👍😀

They are nice rods, I've got puddle chucker waggler version and I'm happy with it.

You can get a hell of a good rod for the money these days! I pretty much use Drennan rods for all my float fishing but for feeder fishing I use daiwas. The original yank and bank feeder rods were unbelievable for the price! I've had 20lb cats on them as well as big bags of bream.

hi bill stay safe greetings from shropshire.

Hi Bill, Good to see you looking well. Thanks for all the vids. Would you give a little insight into how you choose hook lengths for cage/maggot feeders please?

hi bill good 2 see you. ive got the same rod great bit off kit only thing i diskike about it. it dosent fit in my rod holdall : (

I doubt it is any different to my Diawa feeder rod. Possibly made by the same company then Drennan and Diawa stamp there label on them. If you abuse your tackle then you are a rich person. My 35-40 year old rods are still in excellent condition as with all my gear they are cared for after every session.

"Used n abused", isn't that what fishing gear is for?

Bill don't you leave it set up ready to go,i have korum feeder rods with 1to 5 ounce tips there absolutely awesome especially for the barbel on the river wye i leave all my rods set up ready to go,ALIEN
