This week’s Angling Times has a special feature celebrating 30 years of the Drennan Cup – arguably the most sought after and prestigious specimen angling prize in the UK!

There is also a live test with the all-new Drennan Acolyte Plus 13ft match rod. For anyone after a stepped-up three-piece float rod, the Acolyte Plus is well worth a closer look. It has all the hallmarks of the featherlight Acolyte Ultra but with extra power for targeting anything from match-sized carp and F1s to hard-fighting tench and chub.

Drennan’s big-fish specialist, Martin Bowler, is also inside as he reveals some interesting insights into catching more springtime carp.

The latest issue is also a Stillwater Rigs Special with 10 hot setups for carp, bream, tench and roach.

Angling Times is in newsagents from Tuesday, 22nd April and also available on iPad, iPhone and Android devices.
