DRENNAN INTERNATIONAL

Daiwa

Wonder if hes sent his CV off to Middy 😉

Daiwa without a doubt, there’s no bigger/better company out there.

Drennan. 😎

The big question is: who can afford Him.
The advantage to a sponsor is, Alan unlike most has appeal over all of europe, only a very select few in that category, And i am sure they command a high asking price…

Milo 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉

got to be daiwa only company bigger than shimano

how about RIVE , hes good mates with didier delanoy from riveand he already has imput to floats they do poles rods etc as well as boxes 😉

Is it not worrying that Shimano have lost Steve Ringer and now Alan.

He’s going to Drennan as comfirmed from a team mate on another forum.

Badger

Ive heard on the grapevine that Alan is about to launch Lidls new tackle range ! 😀

FAVOURITE : Drennan
2nd FAV: Daiwa
OUTSIDER: Matrix (Fox)
10,000-1 : Dragon Direct/Avanti

…………PRESTON ?……Room in the stable ?

Rive, done deal.

Thought rive stopped doing their “AS” range of floats.

If alan has signed with Drennan,this will be a very good.both for alan and the angling public.as everyone probably owns,or has an item of tackle made by Drennan.and although ability is not based on the tackle you own.it will be good to see probably the best match angler in the world,using top quality tackle,that is priced in a bracket everyone can afford to buy themselves,and copy the same methods being demonstrated. 🙂

if alan does go to drennan hes got a big hill to to climb i mean what do they realy make as in poles box’s etc alan has some serious work to do

drennan don’t “make” poles, they were Triana weren’t they? Reglass manufactured? Drennan have been more a bits and bobs company recently, maybe they’ve got something up their sleeve?

its defo drennan i put a post on here months ago saying alan would be wearing pink+blue from what i was told hes just been waiting for his mustad ties/commitments to expire+then hes moving camp if you look at the recent features hes been doing in the mags hes singing drennans praises ref hooks ect what an awsome signing for them good luck alan 😉

Do Drennan still supply the Zircon pole. A dealer mate of mine reckons its not in the 2011 Drennan trade catalogue or this years.
Wherever he’s heading its not goin to affect his,fishing commitment.a truly fantastic angler.good luck to him.

DAIWA 😀
But wherever you go Alan the very best of luck 🙂 🙂 🙂

DRENNAN

When I read Alans piece in the latest mag I was surprised how many references he made to Drennan tackle. Seems this is where he is bound.
I am struggling to think of any tackle Drennan have sold that was not good. In many ways their stuff has been ground breaking so if this is where Alan is bound things can only get better.

😮 :confused: 😉

Lets start with the square bait boxes.

I’ll add ‘Double Strength’ line…

Catty’s and England team sponsorship.

Drennan’s Bait Waiter and their range of floats.

The Feederlink when about the only thing you could buy was a ‘coke can’ with white end caps!

Drennan Rigid XL Landing Net Handle.

Drennan Bread Punch.

I heard he don’t want a sponsor as wants to fish garbo club angler of year, might drop him a line see if he will fish in our suoercup team too 🙂

Drennan Carp Feeder – best maggot feeder out there!

Carp Match/Feeder hooks – ace hair rigging hooks!

Series 7 range of rods,all quality blanks and fittings,proving you can have a brillaint rod without paying a 2nd mortgage 😎

The IM8 bomb rod. Lovely

will he now dump dynamite baits and go back to van den eynde

All the original IM8 rods e.g. Superfeeder 12ft and 13ft, Super waggler and Super stick, brilliant rods!

No wont be going back to Van den Eynde im sure

Ive been told someone at Halkon Hunt is sorting him out for now!!!

deffo avanti,, or maybe ultimate !!!! :rolleyes: :p

who ever gets him is gunna be onto a winner,, rumour has it he’s taking kevin costners role in waterworld 2 cos he already has gills behind his ears and doesnt need them super imposing !!!!! 😉 😀 😀

it’ll be silstar and the royal westminster the weapon!

12.5 with the flicktip in and as sloppy as second’s

i can remember when he departed with trabucco, alan was quoted as saying that it did not matter what tackle he uses with the exception of his seat box. bearing that in mind, my guess would be Riva.
but my gut says Fox.

Yes. they still sell the Zircon pole in 2 lengths but no more.
