Martin Bowler playing a big chub on the River Avon with his 14ft Acolyte Plus Float Rod.

This rod has a super-slim blank but with extra strength to con­trol quality fish such as chub.Weighing on average just 156g, this rod is a joy to fish with all day long. The rod has a for­giving tip sec­tion, com­bined with a pro­gressive middle to help to absorb every lunge of the fish, while keeping hook pulls to an abso­lute min­imum.
