Drennan E-SOX Apex Predator rod

Designed for serious predator anglers, the Apex Predator range delivers the perfect blend of sensitivity, strength, and casting performance. Available in 10ft 3lb and 12ft 3¼lb models, these rods excel in a wide range of pike fishing situations—from mobile roving and boat work to bankside deadbaiting and long-distance casting.

The Apex Predator 10ft 3lb rod offers exceptional versatility for float fishing or legering for pike. Its compact length makes it ideal for navigating tight swims, working along rivers, or fishing from a boat. With a smooth, progressive action, it casts medium-sized baits effortlessly while maintaining the perfect balance between sensitivity for smaller fish and the power needed to tame larger predators.

For anglers requiring extra reach and casting muscle, the Apex Predator 12ft 3¼lb rod provides outstanding long-range performance. Its increased length enhances line control, improves float pick-up, and makes launching larger deadbaits over distance easy and efficient. The rod’s strong yet progressive action ensures you can feel every movement while still retaining the backbone required for hard-fighting pike.

Both models are optimized for 10–15lb mono or heavier braid, and are built with reliable, high-quality components including durable double-legged SIC guides, an anti-tangle tip guide, and a full cork handle for comfort and control.

Whether you're a mobile predator angler or a dedicated bankside deadbaiter, the Apex Predator series delivers the performance, reliability, and fish-playing action needed to target pike with confidence.
