Drennan Super Slick Carp Bungee Bushes

Drennan Super Slick Carp Bungee Bushes Friction-Free Elastication

Drennan Super Slick Carp Bungee Bushes are the professional standard for elasticating power kits and top sections. When targeting hard-fighting carp and large fish on the pole, the smoothness of your elastics transition through the tip is the difference between a landed fish and a snapped hooklength.

These bushes are manufactured from pure, high-grade PTFE (Teflon), which is inherently slick. This material provides a near-zero friction surface, ensuring that your Drennan Carp Bungee (or any other heavy-duty elastic) extends and retracts instantly. By eliminating the judder associated with inferior plastic bushes, these ensure your elastic can react to every lunge of a fish, protecting your rig and providing maximum control.

Pro Tip from Gerrys Fishing

Pro Tip: When fitting these bushes, always use a fine-tooth junior hacksaw or a dedicated pole-cutting tool to take back your top kit. Cut the pole section back a few millimeters at a time until the bush is a snug push-fit. For a permanent, wobble-free finish, a tiny drop of superglue on the side of the bush before insertion will lock it in placejust be careful not to get any glue inside the bore!

Examples of Where to Use

• Commercial Carp Power Kits: Essential for any top kit fitted with Red or Orange Bungee (18-20+ ratings) where maximum friction reduction is required.

• Margin Fishing: Ideal for ultra-heavy setups used to hit and hold carp near snags, where the elastic needs to move freely under immense pressure.

• Hollow Elastic Setups: These bushes have a wide internal bore specifically designed to accommodate the larger diameter of modern hollow elastics without pinching or binding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these internal or external bushes?

These are Internal Bushes. They are designed to fit inside the end of your pole tip. This provides a much neater finish than external hat style bushes and prevents the elastic from catching on the rim of the pole during the retrieve.

Do I need to lubricate the bush?

While the PTFE material is Super Slick by nature, we still recommend using a dedicated liquid elastic lubricant on your Bungee. The combination of high-grade PTFE and lubricant ensures the fastest possible retraction, which is vital when you need to ship back quickly.

How do I know which size to buy?

The bushes are sized to match the Drennan Bungee range. For example, the Green/Blue bushes fit lighter elastics, while the Pink/Red/Orange sizes are bored out specifically for the thickest hollow elastics. Always choose a bush with an internal diameter slightly larger than your elastic to allow for knot clearance.
