Product Information
Full details
The Zebco DB Series Buoyant Ledger Boom is an essential tool for predator anglers who specialize in bottom-fishing with deadbait. Designed to elevate terminal tackle above weeds and silty bottoms, these booms ensure your bait is positioned for maximum visibility and appeal to pike and zander. While they excel in presentation, they are specifically engineered for bottom-ledgering tactics and may not be necessary for mid-water or float-fishing setups.

FAQs
Are these booms suitable for heavy weights?
Yes, they are designed to handle standard deadbait ledger weights effectively.
Can I use these for carp fishing?
While intended for predators, they can be used for any bottom-fishing application requiring a buoyant line lift.
How many come in a pack?
Each pack contains two buoyant ledger booms.
Do I need a special bead to protect the knot?
It is recommended to use a rubber shock bead between your swivel and the boom to protect your knot from impact.
Are these effective in strong currents?
They are primarily designed for still-water or slow-moving river conditions where deadbait presentation is the priority.
Troubleshooting
The boom is tangled on the cast
Ensure your hook-link is slightly shorter than the boom length and use an anti-tangle sleeve for a cleaner presentation.
Resistance is felt during the run
Check the run ring for debris or line twists. Ensure the main line is not catching on any other part of the rig.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the boom, pass your main line through the large eye of the run ring located on the boom. Attach your chosen weight to the clip at the bottom of the boom, and connect your hook-link to your main line via a swivel or connector. Always check that the run ring is free of grit or sand before casting to ensure maximum sensitivity. After a fishing session, rinse the boom in clean water, especially if used in brackish or silty conditions, to maintain the integrity of the plastic and the movement of the swivel components.
