Drennan Dacron Connectors are a lightweight and efficient solution for connecting your mainline to pole elastic, offering a highly durable alternative to traditional plastic elastic connectors. These connectors have been carefully designed with a coated braided material that’s kind to both your line and elastic, helping to reduce the chances of tangles while fishing. Developed in conjunction with five-time world champion Alan Scotthorne, these connectors have become a go-to choice for top match anglers across the UK.
Key Features of Drennan Dacron Connectors:
1. Innovative Braided Design for Tangle-Free Fishing
The braided material used in Drennan Dacron Connectors offers a unique stiffness that helps to push the mainline away from the pole tip, minimizing the risk of wrap-over tangles. This feature is especially useful when ‘slapping’ or ‘helicoptering’ a pole rig on the surface, where tangles are a common issue. The stiff construction ensures your line stays straight and reduces frustrating tangles during repetitive movements.
2. Elastic-Friendly Coating
The Dacron material is coated to protect both your line and elastic. This ensures that your rig remains in excellent condition over long fishing sessions. The coated braid is also gentle on hollow and solid elastics, making it compatible with a wide range of elastic types, including Drennan Carp Bungee and F1 & Silverfish Bungee.
3. Lightweight Alternative to Plastic Connectors
Drennan Dacron Connectors provide a lightweight alternative to the more traditional plastic connectors. Their lighter weight enhances performance, especially in competitive fishing environments, allowing for smooth and tangle-free pole fishing. The lightweight design makes them highly efficient when shipping in and out at speed, improving the overall flow of your fishing session.
4. Highly Visible & Colour-Coded Beads
Each pack of Drennan Dacron Connectors comes with four brightly coloured beads, which are colour-coded to match the corresponding elastic strength. This makes it easy to identify the right connector for your rig. The range includes:
- Aqua: For F1 & Silverfish Bungee
- Green & Yellow: For elastics up to 10-12 Carp Bungee
- Pink & Red: For elastics up to 18-20 Carp Bungee
The highly visible beads also help you to quickly identify your setup on the bank, improving your efficiency when preparing your rig.
5. Pre-Formed Loop for Easy Attachment
Each pack of Drennan Dacron Connectors includes four connectors mounted on a handy tube, which forms a pre-formed loop. This design makes it incredibly simple to slide the connectors onto your elastic, saving you time and hassle. The soft beads have a large internal bore, which conceals the elastic knot and provides a neat finish to your rig.
6. Perfect for Both Solid and Hollow Elastics
Drennan Dacron Connectors are highly versatile and can be used with both solid and hollow elastics. Whether you’re targeting silverfish or large carp, these connectors offer the flexibility you need to achieve the best results on the bank.
Conclusion:
Drennan Dacron Connectors are the perfect choice for anglers seeking a lightweight, tangle-free, and elastic-friendly solution for their pole fishing setups. With their stiff braided design, colour-coded visibility, and pre-formed loop for easy attachment, these connectors offer unmatched convenience and performance. Developed with input from top match anglers, including Alan Scotthorne, they are a trusted and effective tool for modern pole fishing.
