I recently got a 4 metre whip an I’m absolutely hooked on whips now,first time out on my local water I had an amazing day,with a superb mixed bag,Roach,Dace small Bream,Tench,Chub,Barbel,and two common carp one over 5 pound which was one of the the best scraps I’ve had on such a light setup.great on the canal,I take my whip,small landing net just in case,a plummet,forceps,and disgorger,and my maggots in a really small bag,absolutely brilliant bit of kit,I’m definitely getting a couple more lengths but 4metre is a great starting point.👍🏻

I paid £22 for my whip 10 years ago ..I’m still using it and it’s still serving me well !

First thing you need to do Alan is get rid of the "small fish" tag. I've got the 6mtr version which retails at £159 so they're not cheap but "an angling shop" in Parkgate did it me for £150. The top three sections are telescopic so you can fish it at any length up to the full 6mtrs. The South Yorkshire Canal in Mexborough quickly drops to about 11' so my preferred method is a 1.25gr float (or bigger) fished with the Tom Pickering style "bulk and two droppers" to hand. It's a dream to fish with although loose feeding maggots is a bit naughty if there's more than a gentle breeze so you need to learn to use a catapult while holding the whip. It easily handles big roach, perch and skimmers plus a 5lbs carp last year that took me ages to land, much to the delight and encouragement of the workmen in the church graveyard opposite. I have a stonfo connector glued to my flick tip which I prefer but stonfo or dacron is up to the individual. Kayleigh Dowd has an excellent video on KZfaq using the 7mtr version titled "River Whip Fishing - Get A Bite Every Cast" which shows how good they are.

Because of this video I have bought two ,,,try them this week 😊

Love the dacron, makes connecting a rig just the same as my pole.

Vintage Taylor, Alan has used whips since horse hair and split cane. good piece.
