Drennan AS2 Pole Floats

The AS2 features a thickened 0.6mm spring stainless wire stem for improved stability compared to glass or carbon. The stem is also only bonded halfway into the bulbous body, rather than continuing up into the bristle, to improve the float’s balance and behaviour without adding unnecessary weight and detracting from the buoyancy.

The float bodies themselves are remarkably concentric with very little or no misalignment of the stem and tips to the body. Made from light grade balsa for maximum buoyancy to size ratio, they are coated in an extremely tough acrylic paint ensuring a strong shell-like construction, preventing line damage when under extreme pressure from big fish.

Very similar to the AS1 model, the AS2 features a slightly thicker hollow, 1.75mm diameter, buoyant, glow tip that can easily be seen when fishing in the shadow of far bank vegetation, and is more suitable for presenting larger baits for carp and other quality fish. The glow tip is rein­forced through the sec­tion where it joins the body as this strengthens the hollow buoyant tip at a crit­ical point and provides an extra strong found­a­tion for the eye.

The extra buoyancy from the slightly more bulbous body can help you to distinguish true bites from line bites caused by fishing brushing against the rig.

AS floats feature a double wound stainless steel eye mounted at the base of the tip. Being placed here offers the mechanically strongest position without piercing the body, and risking water ingress, therefore affecting the floats performance. Being double wound (i.e. the eye is fully round) means the line cannot get trapped and damaged as is often the case with conventional, single wound, U-shape eyes. These special eyes are also made of blackened stain­less steel to match the body, giving a more distinct demarcation line to the glow tip, so bites are easier to spot!
