Drennan Super Slick Internal Bungee Bushes – Precision PTFE Performance
The Drennan Super Slick Internal Bungee Bushes are specialized, high-performance pole accessories designed to optimize the performance of hollow elastics. Manufactured in Drennan’s own factories from 100% pure white PTFE, these bushes are characterized by their unique, elongated tube design.
This extended “slippery” section sits deep within the pole tip, providing extra working length that significantly reduces the friction and wear commonly associated with high-pressure elastication. By creating a smoother path for the elastic, these bushes ensure a consistent stretch and, more importantly, a rapid, snag-free recovery when shipping back.

Pro Tip from Gerry’s Fishing
Pro Tip: These internal bushes provide a much sleeker profile than external “hat” bushes, reducing the chance of your line tangling around the tip. When fitting, ensure you cut your pole section back to a point where the bush is a firm “interference fit.” If the bush feels slightly loose, avoid using heavy glue; a single wrap of PTFE plumber’s tape around the base of the bush before insertion will create a perfect, removable seal.
Examples of Where to Use
-
Match Pole Top Kits: The elongated design is perfect for silverfish and F1 kits where a smooth, instant elastic reaction is needed to prevent hook pulls.
-
High-Pressure Commercial Fishing: Used with heavier Red or Orange Bungee when targeting large carp, as the extra length of the PTFE tube prevents the elastic from rubbing against the carbon of the pole tip under heavy load.
-
All-Weather Performance: Because PTFE is naturally hydrophobic and self-lubricating, these bushes perform consistently in both freezing winter conditions and high-summer heat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose “Internal” over “Carp” Bungee Bushes?
Internal bushes sit flush inside the tip, offering a cleaner aesthetic and better aerodynamics. The “Internal Bungee” version specifically features a longer internal tube than standard PTFE bushes, providing a greater surface area of protection for your expensive hollow elastics.
How many come in a pack?
Drennan Super Slick Internal Bungee Bushes are supplied in packs of two, allowing you to elasticate multiple top kits with a single purchase.
Will these fit other brands of poles?
Yes. While they are sized to match the Drennan Bungee elastic range, the external diameters are standard for the industry. They will fit any pole tip once the carbon has been cut back to the appropriate diameter to match the bush’s external width.
