Bungie Buddy - 6ft.

Upgrade your floatline with a Bungie Buddy, a short bungie section for added shock absorption, less stress on your gear, and better control when a fish surges. It’s a simple way to make your setup more forgiving in rough conditions while keeping the direct feel of a static line.

Smoother Shock Absorption
The stretch in the Bungie Buddy softens sudden pulls from a fish making a fast run or from waves tugging on your float. Instead of that force slamming straight into your line, clip, or shaft, it’s absorbed gradually, keeping everything more stable.

Improved Fish Retention
By calming down that initial burst of energy, the Bungie Buddy lowers the risk of the shaft pulling free, especially with quick, softer-fleshed species like wahoo or mackerel, which can really load the line.

Less Wear on Your Gear
In a pure static setup, a hard strike can send a sharp jolt through your knots, swivels, and connections. The Bungie Buddy eases that stress, helping your rig hold up better over time.

Better Performance in Swell or Current
When you’re hunting on the bottom, and your float is getting dragged around by chop or current, the added stretch makes the whole system feel less rough and more manageable.
