Zucchini v1.0

VABCA Clonk v1.0 is a wooden clonk for catfish fishing, developed through numerous prototypes with one main goal – to create a strong, deep and clear sound, while making clonking easy enough that even someone without much experience can use it effectively.

When struck correctly through the water surface, the concave head creates a characteristic deep sound and vibrations that travel through the water and attract the attention of catfish. This is precisely why clonking has long been one of the most recognizable techniques for active catfish fishing.

The clonk is made of beech wood, and the v1.0 version features a laminated handle, while the main wooden part is crafted from a single piece. The concave head is made of durable ASA plastic, resistant to UV light, temperature changes, and standard use on the water. The entire clonk is additionally protected with a high-quality varnish, and the wood features an engraved catfish and VABCA logo.

Care and storage

The clonk is built durable and intended for regular use on the water, however, for optimal sound, the wooden part is purposefully relatively thin, so it requires normally careful handling.

After use, it is recommended to wipe it and dry it completely, and always store it in a dry place. Do not leave it wet or exposed to moisture for extended periods.

During transport, we recommend using the box in which the clonk arrives, or even better, protecting it additionally with soft material. Avoid strong impacts, dropping heavy objects on it, squeezing, or stepping on the clonk.

*Every clonk is inspected and checked before sale. Damages caused by impacts, stepping, squeezing, improper transport, or inadequate storage are not considered manufacturing defects.
* each clonk is handmade, so they may slightly differ from the pictures
