"caroline" wrote in message ... a pole? In other words what defines a whip as a whip and a pole as a pole? Is it based on length, or line attachment...or other factors? Or a combination of things? AFAIK a whip is quite short (up to 6m), is telescopic (rather than put-over) and has a very soft tip with a eye on the end that acts as a buffer rather than being elasticated through the inside of the pole... Poles are generally put-over joints (except the top couple of sections -the "top kit") and are quite stiff along the entire length, the elastic running through the centre of the pole buffers while the pole remains pretty much straight. Poles can be bought at lengths over 16m these days. I may be corrected, but that is my understanding... Matt
