Foam Indicator Beetle 17mm Depth 3.5mm Hook Size 8 -10

Foam Bung Beetle Bodies Large 17mm (Hooks #8/#10)

We all know how frustrating it is when using bungs, Thingamabobbers and other micro floats, they always get hit on rivers and stillwaters. We decided to make bung beetle bodies that would float a team of smaller flies like buzzers below them and act as both a fly and a bung. With the colors typically hit by trout on river and stillwater fishing these beetles are superb dual purpose.

Fully detailed bung beetle bodies ready to tie with our Tie In Tags to secure and provide additional floatation. With our defined 'elytra' and pronotum engraved into the foam these look like realistic beetles. Simply cut the beetle from the sheet, tie in to the hook shank using open turns to provide additional flotation to the fly and then wrap in the body material of choice.... we love using Semperfli Synthetic Peacock Herl which is resilient and stunning looking to create a deadly fly. Bung beetles are made from a thicker foam compared to our other beetle bodies to ensure they float higher in the water. 

Thanks to its 3.5mm thick foam this can support flies and act as both a fly in its own right and an indicator/bung! Semperfli beetle bodies are made from high floatation, nitrogen filled foam, with high floation it makes it ideal for dry fly fishing.
