Product Information

Full details

The Drennan Hybrid Olivette is designed for anglers who require a versatile, streamlined weighting system for both float and ledger setups. It provides the perfect balance of an in-line weight's stability and the adaptability of a removable shot, though users should ensure they have adequate silicone tubing on hand to maintain secure, movement-free positioning on the line.

FAQs

Can I use these weights on different line types?

Yes, they work effectively on most monofilament and fluorocarbon lines of standard diameters.

Do I need to buy extra tubing?

The product comes with supplied tubing, but it is recommended to keep a spare pack of silicone tubing in your tackle bag for long-term use.

Are these legal for all fishing competitions?

Yes, they are generally permitted in standard match fishing, provided they comply with specific venue rules regarding in-line weights.

How do I identify the size of the weight if the engraving fades?

For safety, it is best to weigh the olivette on a precision digital scale to confirm the weight if the engraving is no longer legible.

Can these be used for float fishing?

Absolutely, they are highly effective for bulk shotting floats to ensure quick bait descent.

Troubleshooting

The weight slips on the line during a cast

The silicone tubing may have stretched or hardened. Replace with a fresh piece of tubing to ensure a tight grip.

Line catching or fraying inside the channel

Check the interior channel for any burrs or debris, and ensure your line diameter is compatible with the weight size.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for damaging split shot
  • Quick and easy to change weights on the bank
  • Discreet camo-bronze finish reduces glare
  • High-quality material construction
  • Engraved sizing simplifies tackle management

Cons

  • Requires periodic replacement of silicone tubing
  • Not suitable for extremely thick main lines
  • Requires careful storage to prevent loss of small tubing segments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To rig the olivette, feed your mainline through the center hole if you desire a fixed in-line presentation. If you prefer to change weights rapidly, pass the line through the dedicated side groove. Once positioned, cut a small section of the provided silicone tubing and slide it over the top and bottom ends of the olivette to lock it against the line.

Ensure that you check the silicone tubing regularly for signs of wear or cracking, especially if you have moved the weight frequently. Store the weights in a divided tackle box to keep different sizes separated, and always ensure your line is clean and free of nicks before threading it through the center channel.
