About this piece
The DEKA BUNG is a larger version of Timon's BUNG series, designed specifically for vertical falling techniques in trout area fishing. Its hybrid construction combines a transparent ABS resin body with a zinc weight, ensuring a slow, horizontal fall with the metal side always down for a natural presentation. This lure excels in lift-and-fall retrieves, where visual line watching and rod tip sensitivity are key to detecting strikes.
Key features
- Flat disc body with ABS resin and zinc weight for stable, horizontal falling posture.
- Environmentally friendly zinc weight minimizes harm if ingested by trout.
- Symmetrical eyelets allow front or rear hook placement; center slit keeps front hook aligned for better hookups.
- Available in 1.0g and 1.3g (this model 1.0g) to adjust fall speed.
- 12.5mm diameter, larger than original BUNG (10mm), for more drawing power.
- Color: 170 W Glow Orange/Pink for high visibility.
Best for
- Vertical lift-and-fall presentations for stocked trout in managed areas.
- Targeting finicky trout that respond to a slow, controlled descent.
- Anglers needing to fine-tune fall speed by weight selection.
