I say pole, some call it a whip, but whatever it is called it is fun to fish with. No good for match fishing used as I do because it is too slow but for a day by the water it is great fun. I also made a cupping kit to go with it. The whole lot including elasticating the pole came to less than £30.00 (I already had the cups and a spare fitting). It is fitted with a 8-10 solid elastic which makes catching anything of any size interesting to say the least. Targeting small silvers also paid off and I caught a good handful of perch and roach using maggot and casters. The full story can be found HERE. I also tried out a new groundbait concoction that seemed to favour bream and Tench over carp. It is a bit early to claim it does target the bream but it is looking that way.
