Description

The 17ft Acolyte Float is super slim, lightweight, and superbly balanced. The extra length of this remarkable rod provides best possible line management and float control with stick floats, wagglers and bolo floats.

Despite being 17ft the average rod weight is just 7oz (198g). It is easy to fish for prolonged periods with a crisp, fast tip action and mellow middle that will handle a whole range of silverfish and more. Superb for any top and bottom float work, especially in deep running water and for picking up the line at distance on the waggler. The slimline blank is also rigid so it doesn’t bounce about in a wind, or droop forward but actually sits up in the hand.

Field tested and developed over a period of eighteen months in conjunction with Alan Scotthorne and top level match anglers who were involved in phases of prototypes. The 17ft float is designed for the connoisseur who wants the very best when it comes to long float rods.

Ideal reel lines from 3lb to 5lb (1.4kg to 2.3kg) and hooklengths from 2lb (0.11mm) to 4lb + (0.15mm).

Please note there is a £10 shipping surcharge on any Rod ordered over 10′ in Length,

Excellent service. Bought two air pistols and did a deal with accessories. Nice gent served me and was very knowledgable.

Excellent service. I recently purchased a new shotgun from Gilders and when I got home I discovered that a couple of the chokes were missing from the box. After phoning the shop the missing chokes were sent directly from the importers and arrived within two days. I might add that the gun was very competitively priced.

Been in here a few times over the past couple of weeks. Very helpful staff and a pleasure to talk too. Called their other store on multiple occasions to see if they had items that the didn't have in Kettering. One of them (an air rifle) was in Northampton and they shipped it over to Kettering for me. Back again next day and again, a very helpful attitude from all staff! Highly recommended!

I have used Gilders for all my fishing, shooting and clothing goods for over 20 years now and they are - and have always been - absolutely 1st class.

Great shop, staff helpful and friendly. Jordan gave some good advice on my purchase. Shop looks small from the front but opens up to wide range of goods. Will defiantly use again!
