13ft Acolyte Ultra The 13ft Acolyte Ultra boasts an exceptionally slim, high modulus carbon blank and weighs just 4.75oz!
Paired with a compact float fish reel, the rods tends to sit up in the hand at an angle above horizontal, making them a joy to fish with all day. They have been designed principally for reel lines from 2lb 8oz to 4lb+, which is roughly 0.12mm to 0.18mm diameter monofilament. The blank feels very rigid and has a light, crisp action with little or no bounce for really excellent line and float control. At the same time, the tip action is soft enough to act as a gentle shock absorber, cushioning the strike and preventing hook pulls. This allows ultra-light hooklengths below 1lb (0.08mm) to be fished with coinfidence.

15ft Acolyte Ultra The 15ft Acolyte Ultra has that all-important extra length so vital for improved line and float control.
It is particularly suitable for river fishing, as the crisp tip section offers supreme line control with stick floats, wagglers and bolo floats. The extra length of this three-piece rod is also a great asset when tackling deeper swims. Despite being 15ft the super slim and featherweight blank still only weighs approximately 5 3/4oz (163g), which makes it lighter and better balanced than many manufacturers’ 13ft models! It is perfectly complemented with reel lines from 3lb to 5lb (1.4kg to 2.3kg) and hooklengths from 4lb (0.15mm) right down to 1 1/2lb (0.09mm). The 15ft Acolyte Ultra is designed with the connoisseur in mind who wants the very best when it comes to long float rods!
