Designed in conjunction with Alan Scotthorne, AS Pole Rigs have been more than a year in development and individually hand tied in our own factories, so the quality is second to none!
These rigs are designed in conjunction with five-time World Champion, Alan Scotthorne and are heavily based on Alan’s own rigs and rig diagrams. They took well over a year in development and are hand-tied in Drennan’s own factories.
They are designed for commercial fisheries and Incorporate the latest AS range of pole floats. They are made from the highest grade balsa and feature a special tough acrylic paint finish that gives exceptional strength and durability. They have highly visible hollow tips which are reinforced into the body and have a new-style of lightweight, blackened stainless steel eye that is kind to the line and a vast improvement over conventional spring eyes.
Sensible sized shot from No10 to No8 is used throughout and the shotting pattern based on Alan’s own recommendations. On each float there are three correctly positioned float rubbers to secure the float into place. Drennan Supplex line is used throughout, and loops are all tied with a reliable figure-of-eight knot.
Each rig comes on an innovative new toughened pole winder made from glass-filled nylon and a unique design of pole winder with allowing you to have the hook at the very end, which avoids kinking the hooklength. The winders are also clearly labeled and have detailed rig information printed onto the front face.
As close as you could get in mass production to what Alan Scotthorne uses himself. Arguably the best readymade pole rigs available!
