Anyone ever felt like an endangered species using a Rod and Reel these days. I have only returned to fishing a few years ago after a many year break and can't help but notice the Rod and Reel (round here at least) is not really in fashion. Now the pole is and the Whip. Having never used a whip before (or a pole come to that) I have decided to be extravagant, and after wrestling with my conscience over winter I finally took the bait and remortgaged the house to buy an Advant 3m Whip for £9.99, I know a lot of you would not even consider spending that amount on one but I did. I know that it will never return its value as a used whip goes for peanuts but the fun outweighs the cost.... Only Kidding!
Now the question...
I was expecting a piece of elastic on the end and did not get one, this whip has a small steel eye on the end...
Is this what they called a fixed whip?
I notice that the rig that came with it (thrown in as an extra because of the cost) has a loop tied to the end...
Is it just a case of putting the loop through the eye and then feeding the tackle end through and your good to go?
Thanks, everyone, I hope that this will be ok for small fish...
