Can anybody suggest a reasonably priced whip approx 7m, price ?100.00 - ?150.00 (or less) that would be suitable for carp fishing. I usually fish at Willinghurst. I would prefer the whip to be complete with elastic at suitable rating. I remember reading about a badger int one that was cheap but I believe you have to set up the elastics, and I have no idea how to do this.

Many thanks

Ray - I didn't think whips had elastics? I thought Poles had them, but whips were just tied direct......I may be wrong though.

Daiwa do whips with elastic the conx whip takes a 6 elastic not good for carp fishing but i think tricast do a venom whip or did but you are really looking at a hit and hold pole at that length. Preston, maver and other pole manufactures make this type of pole. The preston is around the ?100 mark.Faps do a 9.5mtr pole faps 050 and they say it is very strong but I think it was quite heavy.Hope this helps you.

There is an article in this weeks Angling Times about a Zebco whip, designed for commercial carp waters.

ray,
whips are for speed fishing for small stuff,no use to you,what you need is a margin pole,something like the drag n net as already mentioned, browning do another one called an aggressor margin master,its around ?90,stated as 7m long,but mine actually goes 7.6m.its a hauling tool,you can get your local tackle shop to elasticate it for you,most places charge around a tenner,depending on the size of fish your after youll need between a 16 and a 20.
