Thanks all for your replies...


So I have a 6m telescopic....but, it uses elastic, bungs etc.

I was advised at the time of purchase to run a no.8 elastic through it,
which I have done...

At the weekend I christened it with a good fight from a rainbow trout
(just over 2½lb) on sweetcorn....sweet or what ;o)
Followed by a second trout later in the day, still on sweetcorn but giving
less of a fight...

Was great to see the elastic working really hard as it was my first direct
adventure with elastic

So is it a whip or a pole?

I would say you have a short pole.
Whips are not designed to be elasticated, but many can be...
