I have just recently been given an pole, but i can't decide whether it is a pole or a whip. As I have never fished using a pole/whip, I havent got a clue.
It is 6m in length, telescopic, made by DAM.
It has an elastic - it's strength I do not know, No 6 or 8 probably.
Now, I know whips are telescopic and poles don't. I also know that you do not use elastic with a whip.
However, my friend says it looks like a proper pole, but the sections do not fit together if you try to set it up that way.
I want to use it to fish my local pond(Whessoe pond, Darlington), and if any of you know the answer to this puzzler, it would be appreciated. Also any tips - no matter how minor would be appreciated, as this is a totally new experience for me, as I am a coarse man, used to the river.
