Whip and speed fishing

[mathew]

Was in the tackleshop the other day and a person was telling me to try out speed fishing.
Just go for the slivers and stuff on the whip. And with winter approaching I'm thinking of scaling down my tackle and stuff.

The only time I saw someone use a whip was at Damhead fishery. Would the rig set up be the same as the pole? It should be right??

i use my whip all the time, its good, you can just swing the silvers in, its only 4 meters and i've had carp too around 5-6lb on it i used the ready made pole rigs you can buy aswell

Matthew,
I have used a whip and always carry a telescopic one in my bag it can be good fun. Do you have Octobers Advanced Pole Fishing ? It has an article about using a Pole whip style with a waggler in Ireland - a good read.
I have a DVD of Bob Nudd pole fishing with long line if you want to borrow it - not strictly whip/speed fishing but interesting.

A little story my uncle likes telling was when he was in Sefton Park using the whip and he really had the small stuff going some one walked up to him and asked if that was the same fish he kept pulling out and putting back in. It still brings a smile to his face when he tells it.

I had a red letter day in Carr Lane a couple of seasons ago, started spraying maggots continually and very soon had a whole shoal of small stuff fighting for the bait, I ended up with literally hundreds of small stuff and an audience of kids sitting behind watching.

So give it a go try your top 4 if its strong enough and a long line.
