The Drennan Acolyte Pro Landing Net Handle 5m sets a new standard for long-reach net poles. Developed and rigorously field-tested by top international anglers, this handle is not only extra strong and extremely lightweight, but crucially, ultra-rigid. Designed for serious match and coarse anglers, the 5.0m (16ft 5″) length ensures you can safely net fish at extreme distances on large natural venues or across wide canals. The innovative construction provides reliable performance that professionals demand.

Ultra-Rigid Performance: The defining feature of the Acolyte Pro range is its ultra-rigid construction. Unlike standard poles, this rigidity provides immediate control, making fast, efficient netting possible, even at the full 5.0m reach.
Innovative Modular Design: The 5.0m handle features a telescopic top section with a take-apart butt section. This design significantly outperformed traditional 3-piece take-apart versions during development, offering superior strength and rigidity.
Maximum Versatility (Two Lengths):
Short Reach (3.3m / 10ft 10″): Use the telescopic top section alone for smaller rivers or when fishing closer in, offering maximum speed and lightness.
Max Reach (5.0m / 16ft 5″): Add the butt section for unparalleled reach across wide venues or when fishing far out on the pole line.
Reinforced Strength: All sections feature fully reinforced screw threads to prevent failure at this critical stress point, ensuring the handle can handle the weight of large, heavy fish safely.
Enhanced Grip: The textured handles ensure an improved grip, maintaining secure control even when wet or when fast-netting is required.
The 5.0m Acolyte Pro is essential when reach and rigidity are non-negotiable for success.
Big Natural Venues: Ideal for big natural venues such as large lakes, reservoirs, or wide canals where fish are often feeding 14m+ out.
Commercial Distance: Perfect for netting fish hooked on the long pole or feeder line at 13m and beyond on commercial fisheries with deep margins or wide safety areas.
High Wind Conditions: The high rigidity maintains net control and accuracy in breezy conditions where softer poles would flex and become difficult to manage.
