Hi all,
historically, ive used a whip to hand, catching roach, perch and micro carp etc... and connected my rigs to a stonfo type connector, araldited to the end of said whip.
having just bought a cheap whip today to casually use, or borrow to non fishing, mildly interested friends and family, it comes with not just a flick tip but an elasticated tip also.
how does one then set up the rig to hand, allowing for the weight of a hooked fish having pulled the elastic out as it is being swung in?
this just seems alien to me as i usually take sections off my pole - when using a longer 11m pole, to get down to swinging the fish in using my top 2 or 3.
with the whip being 4m and telescopic, you cant break it down shorter on the way in so the fish will have to be swung in from 4m high plus the elastic stretching, i cant get my head around how best it will work. especially if fishing up in the water :wh
any ideas?
cheers n stuff
