Drennan Wide Gape Specialist Hooks
Wide Gape Specialist Micro Barbed hooks are short-shank, eyed and have a bronze finish.
The wide gape and curved point is an ideal shape for a wide range of baits and makes an excellent hook pattern for hair rigs.
Curved points seem to hold in better and less fish are lost.
Being curved, they are also less prone to blunting and damage than straight points.

Drennan Puddle Chucker
A fantastic range of 24 clear plastic floats designed primarily for commercial fisheries. Drennan puddle chuckers are an ideal choice of waggler for fishing up in the water or in shallow depths of water.
The crystal body and ‘dumpy’ proportions make it very unobtrusive.
They also cast a surprisingly long way for their relative size!
They are lighter and more buoyant than balsa wood and the material is also much tougher and impervious to line and shot damage.
Those with antennas can interchange the tips with standard, match or giant combo tips – and even Drennan night lights for use in the darkness. The loaded versions have a clever attachment that can be clipped on and off so that the whole float can be changed in seconds.

Drennan Buoyant Maggots
Our expertise in plastics manufacturing has enabled us to come up with a superb, soft, durable, life-like and buoyant compound, which makes for a brilliant artificial hook bait! Our artificial Buoyant Maggots have now accounted for an incredible number of big tench, bream and carp.
They represent truly excellent value for money and are deadly when used critically balanced with both maggot feeders and Method feeders, in particular!
The three different sizes of Buoyant Maggot can be used on a wide range of hooks to produce effective baits that are sinking, critically balanced or popped up.
They are also very effective in conjunction with a live maggot or as a combination bait with real or artificial sweetcorn.
These baits are also pineapple flavoured and dusted in food grade starch powder. The pineapple flavour is a proven attractant which can be boosted or even over-ridden by immersion in more concentrated flavours.
Buoyant Casters can also be used on their own or fished with natural baits.
The idea is always to counterbalance the weight of the hook and make it easier for carp, tench and bream to 'hoover' up the bait and hook.
This consistently produces better, more hittable bites. Buoyant Casters also come in several shades for even greater choice.

Drennan Flat Method Feeder with connector
With this improved design of Drennan In-Line Flat Method Feeder, both the lead in the flat base and the bait load distribute the weight into an aerodynamic bomb shape.
The shape of the feeder increases casting distance and improves accuracy, particularly in strong cross-winds.
On the body of the feeder, the two largest bait-holding ribs are well spaced and curved away from each other.
This leaves a generous gap so that the hook bait can be placed in the optimum position. This area also aligns with a recess in a Drennan bait mould for perfect positioning every time.
Used in conjunction with the non-stick, easy release bait mould, you can achieve perfectly shaped groundbait and/or pellet mouldings every time.
A special slim-line loop-to-loop Method Connector bead, also provided, allows you to swap feeders as well as quickly change the hook link in seconds.
A more recent introduction has been the Heavyweight sizes; 35g to fit the green mould and 45g to fit the larger orange mould.
These are ideal for long-range casts, casting into headwinds and offer even more purchase on a steep slope.
Sometimes we are able to launch products that are better designed, a better quality of build and better value for money than the alternatives!

Drennan Supplex Mono 100m
Supplex is a fantastic material for float and feeder fishing main lines, pole rigs and hooklengths.
Supplex has the best of both worlds.
It is incredibly supple, (that’s how it gets its name!) but at the same time, it is tough, long life, abrasion resistant and not prone to damage, including shot damage.“In more than 40 years of business and 50 plus years of angling, I’ve never seen a reel line as good as this.” - Peter Drennan
“Drennan Supplex is the best mono I have ever used. It’s ultra fine and strong, damage-resistant and so slick and supple it even improves casting.” — Alan Scotthorne, five times world champion.

Drennan Loaded Visi Wag 1
The Visi Wag 1 is an insert waggler with a 4mm hollow Hi-Viz banded tip and comes in seven sizes ranging from 1g to 4g.

They have consistent, accurate shotting, fly dead straight, and come with hollow, buoyant, Hi-Viz banded tips.
Each float in the range has been designed so that you can change from one size to the other without changing your shotting pattern.

This waggler is ideal for fishing large stillwaters or for when targeting carp, especially as things slow down in the winter months.
