Full details

The Drennan Polemaster Super Slick Internal Bungee Bushes are designed for anglers seeking to enhance their pole fishing performance by reducing bungee wear and improving elastic recovery. These bushes provide an extended slippery tube section at the pole tip, which is crucial for preventing premature wear on your pole elastics. While they offer significant benefits in terms of longevity and smooth operation, users must ensure they select the correct size to match their specific bungee setup.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of using these internal bungee bushes?

The primary benefit is the reduction of wear on your pole elastic by providing an extended, low-friction PTFE surface at the pole tip, which also smooths elastic stretch and recovery.

How do I choose the correct size for my pole elastic?

Refer to the provided size guide. For example, a 3.8mm internal diameter bush is rated for Pink/Red bungee, while a 2.0mm is for Green bungee.

Are these bushes suitable for all types of fishing?

They are highly beneficial for most pole fishing, especially when targeting larger or more powerful species that put significant strain on the elastic. Their main function is elastic protection and smooth operation.

How many bushes come in a packet?

The product information states there are two bushes per packet.

Can I use these with external elastic systems?

These are 'Internal Bungee Bushes,' designed to be fitted inside the pole section at the tip. They are not designed for external elastic setups.

What material are the bushes made from?

They are made from pure white PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), known for its exceptionally low friction properties.

Do I need to glue them in place?

Ideally, they should fit snugly. Gluing is usually only necessary if the fit is loose, and should be done sparingly with a specialized adhesive.

Troubleshooting

Bush is too loose in the pole section

Apply a small amount of PTFE tape around the outside of the bush before inserting it, or use a small amount of pole bush adhesive. Allow adhesive to cure fully before use.

Elastic is sticking or not running smoothly

Ensure the inside of the bush is clean and free from debris. Check that the bush size is appropriate for the elastic diameter; a bush that is too small can constrict the elastic.

Bushing worn out prematurely

Verify that the correct bush size is being used for the elastic rating. If targeting very powerful fish, consider a slightly larger elastic and corresponding bush size for better durability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extends the life of pole elastics by reducing wear.
  • Provides a smoother, more consistent feel during casting and playing fish.
  • High-quality PTFE material ensures excellent glide.
  • Available in a range of sizes to fit various bungee setups.
  • Protects the pole tip from premature damage.

Cons

  • Requires careful selection of the correct size for optimal performance.
  • May require initial adjustment to fit certain pole sections securely.
  • Not suitable for all types of pole fishing applications if specific grip is needed.
  • Can potentially increase the cost of pole setup if not already using similar accessories.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the inner diameter of the Drennan Super Slick Internal Bungee Bush matches the recommended size for your pole elastic's rating. For example, a 3.8mm bush is typically suitable for Pink/Red rated elastics.
  2. Gently insert the bush into the end of your pole section. It should fit snugly. If it's too loose, a small amount of PTFE tape or a specialized pole bush adhesive can be used sparingly to secure it.
  3. Thread your pole elastic through the bush, ensuring it runs freely within the PTFE tube.

Compatibility:

These bushes are designed to be compatible with most modern pole fishing sections. They are particularly effective with standard-diameter elastic systems. Check the listed internal diameters and their corresponding bungee ratings to ensure a proper match for your existing setup.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the bush for any signs of damage or excessive wear.
  • Clean the inside of the bush periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that might impede the elastic's movement.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the PTFE surface.
