whips n floats

[sharki]

anybody point me in the direction of a decent 4mtr whip witha flick tip i fancy giving the bread punch ago on this method .also what sort of rigs id need for say a couple of canal and basin type places i fish from 5ft-12ft deep cheers fellas

[TK]

First thought Sharki - with depths upto 12ft, dont you possibly need to consider upto a 6 mtr jobbie?

Talking of 6 mtr whips, whilst there are a few all telescopic (I've got 7 & 10 mtr Shimano diaflash all telescopic whips), most 6mtr come top 3 or 4 telescopic with a couple of put over sections.

A 6 mtr jobbie may be more versatile than a shorter one.......after all you dont have to use all sections.......

I would be very reluctant to fish punch in more then 6ft of water. and as for a 4m whip, my advice would be to buy a longer 6m ish one even if it is telescopic just take out the sections and use it at the length you want.
For rigs and floats read my article on this forum.

yes derek i know it goes `aginst the grain fishing punch in that depth of water but it deffinatley works its a free stretch that fishes its nuts off the colder the better if i knew how to add photos i would show you one off what its capable of
as for the whip i never thought of longer lengths because off the depth of water been honest

[TK]

So are we now considering a 6mtr jobbie now sharki

[sharki]

yep matey i would indeedy

[TK]

Now it's down to budgets.......


On the 2nd hand front you might pick up a Daiwa Harrier 6mtr for around £50-£60

The Daiwa Connoisseur will come in a double that - but you might pick up an 8mtr model

And for a Tournament expect getting on for treble the cost of a 2nd hand Connoisseur

On the 6 mtr front as well as the Harrier, I've also got a Garbolino Quadra and Maver Alborella - they all do a decent job for me, but usually only see the light of day on the odd occasions when I fish the rivers

Silstar also did a few decent models too going back - the odd one crops up now and then on Fleabay

Hiya daskin - good to hear from you again, where you been hiding 

Hi --Ive not done a lot of fishing recently, been concentrating on my bike racing--will be dusting the gear down and making some rigs up for the winter matches on the Steeping starting in November.

[TK]

Keep us posted on how you get on - we love a match report (or two) on here

Just a pic to let you know what ive been up to--notice the sponsor
PS: will need a new sponsor next season--S. A. C. has closed down, I`ll have to buy my bait next season now.

I recently made some more floats for use with the whip, use as a waggler fastened bottom end only.

[TRICAST62]

hows thee made them Daskin cane tip wire stems bolsa or quill bodies look right enought to me them

[Dodge]

Similar to the Tubertini Stix floats which are fantastic for punch fishing  still going strong after many years in circulation ...... the shape of the float works brilliantly even though it looks slightly odd !   

[daskin]

Piano wire stems, peacock body and cocktail stick top.
The wire is the casting weight, no need to put any shot around the float. It actually doesnt work properly if you do.
I have been using them( or should I say this design) for at least 25 years with much success.
You can fish a whip in windy conditions where you cant with top and bottom.

They must have copied my design, pity I didnt patent it.

[TK]
