Description
Drennan Visi Wag No. 1 – Precision Insert Waggler
The Drennan Visi Wag 1 represents the next generation of float design, moving beyond traditional peacock quill to offer a more consistent, durable, and visible alternative. This insert waggler features a 4mm hollow Hi-Viz banded tip, making it exceptionally easy to track even in choppy water or challenging light conditions.
Built with an ultra-tough construction, the Visi Wag 1 is designed to fly dead straight. Its unique loading system ensures that regardless of the size you choose—from 1g up to 4g—the “down-the-line” shotting requirement remains the same. This allows you to scale up or down to combat changing wind conditions without ever having to rebuild your entire rig.

Pro Tip from Gerry’s Fishing
Pro Tip: The Visi Wag 1 is designed for ultimate efficiency. When using a Drennan Swivel Float Attachment and four Drennan Float Stops (two above and two below), the float is perfectly balanced to take exactly eight No.8 shot on the line. This “standardized” shotting means you can swap between a 1g Visi Wag for calm margins and a 4g version for a distance line in seconds, knowing your presentation remains identical.
Examples of Where to Use
-
Large Stillwaters: The aerodynamic design and interchangeable weights make this float a top choice for reaching distance lines on expansive lakes.
-
Winter Carp & F1 Fishing: The 4mm hollow insert tip is incredibly sensitive; it provides enough buoyancy to support decent-sized baits like pellets or corn while showing the tiniest “finesse” indications when fish are feeding tentatively in cold water.
-
Targeting Silverfish: Excellent for skimmers and roach where you need a float that sits stable in the water but offers very little resistance when a fish takes the bait.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of a “Banded” tip?
The banded Hi-Viz tips act like a scale. They allow you to see exactly how much the float has “settled” and make it much easier to spot “lift bites,” where a fish picks up the bait and the shot, causing the float to rise slightly out of the water.
Are these floats as good as traditional Peacock Quill?
They are actually more consistent. Natural quill varies in density and straightness; the hi-tech materials used in the Visi Wag range ensure every float is perfectly straight and carries the exact amount of weight stated on the body, session after session.
Can I change the base weights?
Yes. The base weights are interchangeable, allowing you to fine-tune the float’s performance. If you want more or less weight “down the line” for a specific presentation, you can simply swap the base weight to suit your needs.
