Benefits and strengths of the Devaux ZONKER: The Devaux ZONKER stands out for its striking realism when it moves in the water, perfectly imitating the swim of a live prey. Its unique texture and fiber density provide an undulating action, irresistible to predators and salmonids. Durable, it endures multiple strikes without deteriorating, offering excellent long-term value for money. Its versatility is remarkable, making it an essential accessory for creating streamers aimed at trout, pike, or bass. The Devaux ZONKER is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater and adapts to all fly-fishing seasons.
Usage tips and recommended rigs: To get the most out of the Devaux ZONKER, it is recommended to use a weighted head appropriate to the size of your streamer, ensuring ideal sinking and natural movement. Its ease of use allows for various rigs, from the traditional zonker to articulated streamers. It is recommended to secure the strip with a strong fly-tying thread and, to ensure the fly's longevity, add a protective varnish or UV resin as a finish. Slow retrieves or twitching techniques are particularly effective to exploit its undulating action and trigger strikes from more wary fish. Whether you fish rivers or lakes, the Devaux ZONKER integrates perfectly into all your creations.
