Trolling bunker spoons leads to catching big striped bass! Anglers have been trolling big spoons for decades t great success. Currently there are very few options for bunker spoon rods due to the special guides needed to troll wire. Dark Matter has created a rod that has the perfect action for trolling spoons, has a clean look and will last a very long time! The Dark Matter Bunker Spoon Trolling Rod was designed specifically for catching big striped bass trolling wire. The action is absolutely perfect and will make the bunker spoon swim correctly. These rods are outfitted with carbide guides which can handle the rigors of wire line fishing, X-Wrap grips for comfort and grip and an aluminum reel seat and gimbal. While Dark Matter is known for bold colors and eye-catching design, they kept it simple with this one. All black with silver accents look great. There is even a striped bass sticker on the side. These rods have been rigorously fished on the south shore of Long Island and have delivered a lot of big fish! If you're looking for a rod to troll bunker spoons, a Dark Matter Bunker Spoon Trolling Rod should be the one you reach for. It will get the job done!

Dark Matter Bunker Spoon Trolling Rods are one-piece 7'9". This is the perfect length for a bunker spoon rod. On a side note, carbide guides are more fragile that other guides so take care of your new rod and it will take care of you!

WHY WE DESIGNED THIS

Bunker spoon trolling is one of those classic striped bass techniques where having the right rod really matters. We designed this rod because we wanted something built specifically around the way we troll spoons here in the Northeast, rather than adapting a general-purpose trolling rod. It’s a technique with deep roots in our local fishery, and we wanted to build a modern Dark Matter rod that keeps that tradition going.

ANGLERS ARE ASKING

These rods are purpose-built for trolling bunker spoons for striped bass, with the action needed to help the spoon swim properly while trolling.

Bunker spoons rely on their side-to-side swimming action to attract fish. A rod designed specifically for the technique helps the spoon work the way it should while giving you the power needed when a big striped bass eats it.

Watch the rod tip while trolling. You should see a steady, rhythmic pumping action that lets you know the spoon is working properly below the surface.

They were designed specifically around Northeast striped bass fishing and the traditional bunker spoon trolling technique.

They’re a great choice for anglers who regularly troll bunker spoons and want a purpose-built rod rather than trying to adapt a general trolling rod to the technique.
