It isn’t often that we get surprises from tackle companies, but Drennan have certainly surprised us with their new reels.

Designed to match their very popular Series 7 range and at a very wallet-friendly price point, these reels look likely to be big sellers.

There are two reels – a 30 sized float reel and a 40 sized feeder reel. Each has some really well thought out features -

Both reels come with 3 spools in total, each designed to hold 100m of an appropriate diameter line.

Each spool has an interchangeable plug in the centre of the spool release button, several being supplied and each marked with a breaking strain so that you need never forget what line is on which spool.

There is even a recess on the spool for the knot where you tie the line in, so that it doesn’t stick up and interfere with the line lay.

We are sure that this first foray into the reel market by Drennan will be a resounding success and that anglers will take to these reels as enthusiastically as they have the other items in the Series 7 range.
