Storing made-up whips on the bank

bullmoose_jackson · Oct 16, 2019

A quick question -

If I am fishing a river with three whips (say 5m, 6m and 7m), what is the best way of storing them on the bank with the rig attached so that I can switch between them easily?

Is there a version of a hook keeper ring that I can use to keep things neat and tidy? I bought some Drennan Hookups, but these are more suited to a top kit and are too small to fit over the butt section of a whip, where the hook needs to be retained.

Any thoughts welcome.

Thanks.

When I fished a lot of matches on the whips I'd have different lengths set up on a pole roost on my seat box supported at the far end by a tripod (from a spare pole roller) fitted with a another roost.

Sensas used to market large diameter Hook-ups but I found that an elastic band doubled over a few times worked perfectly well.

I have the very thing, only trouble is, I can’t remember where they came from

mg: I have a vague memory they were a gift from Laguna (a member on FM) but there’s nothing on his website, someone might recognise them. As Peter has said, elastic bands or even power gum do the job but that’s not so nifty as these little gems!

I use loops of twisted pole elastic.

They appear to be identical in all respects except the colour to the twist ties my wife buys at the garden centre for her plants.
The garden centre ones are green.

These are called Twister Hook Ups. Cheap as chips. You can get them here.

They look really good - just the job, thanks.

I manage to "borrow" my grandaughters loom bands for hook ups, As for storage on the bank either pole roost attatchment on seat box, or more recently i bought a preston innovations "ducks foot" style rod holder that will attach to seat box leg, £20. It takes 3 rods/whips/topkits and can be angle adjusted.?

Really ? Too small ? I fish 8m to hand and I use these. They come in a mixed pack of different sizes and the big ones are easily big enough
