About The Range


Welcome to our Fulling Mill - Croston's Drop Back Bungs & Flies category, where you'll discover an innovative and revolutionary collection of fly fishing strike indicators and accompanying flies designed by Howard Croston. These specially crafted drop back bungs and flies are designed to work together perfectly to enhance your trout fishing experience.


The Fulling Mill Croston's Drop Back Bung is a game-changer for small stillwater indicator fishing, especially on challenging days when light winds and pressured fish make every take crucial. This innovative bung completely revolutionizes your fishing experience, offering remarkable advantages over standard strike indicators.


With the Croston's Drop Back Bung, you can expect a significant increase in hittable takes, ranging from 40% to 60% more compared to traditional indicators. Its unique design and functionality result in improved performance and greater success on the water. The drop back feature allows for better casting, easier strikes, and higher conversion rates of takes into hooked fish.


To ensure proper usage, each Drop Back Bung is marked with black dots on both the Yellow and Red (Orange) sections of the bung. These markings serve as a guide for loading and cocking the bung correctly, maximizing its effectiveness. For optimal performance, tie on the appropriate number of Croston Flies with either a Red or Yellow dot, depending on the size of the bung.


The Fulling Mill Croston's Drop Back Bung offers exceptional visibility and control on the water. Its vibrant color ensures easy tracking of your fly's position, enabling you to monitor its movement and detect even the subtlest of takes. The design of the indicator allows you to see when your flies are sinking and when they’ve sunk down and reached the correct depth, this is also handy for detecting when you’re indicator is set too deep and your flies are lying on the bottom. This heightened visual advantage translates into faster and more accurate hook sets, giving you an edge when it matters most.


In addition to its performance benefits, this bung is designed to enhance casting distance and accuracy. Its streamlined profile reduces air resistance, allowing for smoother and more efficient casts. Simply fix the Drop Bung between two Line Stops on your leader with a slight space between to allow the Drop Bung to flex and lay flat against the leader on the cast. The line stops can easily be slid up and down the leader without damage to change the depth of the flies. You can achieve greater precision and cover a wider area, increasing your chances of presenting your fly in the perfect spot.
