Product Information

Full details

The Drennan Rigidex is designed for competitive and recreational carp anglers who require uncompromising control and accuracy in demanding conditions. Its primary benefit is a highly stiff, ultra-rigid construction that eliminates tip bounce in high winds, though users should be mindful that such rigidity requires disciplined handling to prevent breakage under extreme pressure.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this pole for silverfish as well as carp?

Yes, while it is optimized for carp, the Rigidex is versatile enough for silverfish if the correct, lighter elastic setup is used.

Does the package include a cupping kit?

Yes, it includes a 2.4m Cupping Kit and a Pole Pot for accurate feeding.

Are spare parts available for the Rigidex?

Drennan provides comprehensive support for their poles; contact your local dealer to order specific section replacements.

What is the primary advantage of the side pull rollers?

They allow you to manually control the amount of elastic deployed, giving you better leverage when fighting larger fish.

How should I clean the pole after a session?

Wipe down each section with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or wet wipes, as moisture can sometimes lead to grit accumulation in the joints.

Troubleshooting

Sections becoming tight or difficult to separate

Clean the male and female joints with a dry cloth and ensure there is no sand or grit present. A dry PTFE spray can be used sparingly to aid movement.

Elastic sticking or not retracting smoothly

Check that the PTFE bush is clean and free of debris, and ensure the elastic is not twisted inside the top kit.

Tip bounce occurring during light wind

Ensure you are holding the pole at the correct balance point and that sections are fully seated in their joints.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the Drennan Rigidex, ensure all joints are kept clean and free of grit to prevent wear or seizing. When breaking down the pole, always use the 'pull and twist' method to avoid excessive pressure. Clean the carbon sections periodically with a dry, lint-free cloth and avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. During storage, ensure all kits are securely placed within the provided holdall to prevent accidental damage to the thin-walled carbon sections. Always verify that your elastic is properly threaded through the PTFE internal bushes to ensure smooth movement and prevent damage to the elastic material.
