5m whip

[Guest Lancs chris]

I have a 5 metre whip which I would like to elasticate for margin fishing, can anyone advise the best and correct method to do this.

 

Thanks.

I have done this on my lads 5M pole ..

 

 

Simply buy a TPFE bush, bung of the right size and a pack of elastic..

 

1.. You will have to hacksaw off a small amount from the top tele. section, until the

PTFE bush just fits, without slipping off..

 

2.. feed your elastic length though the top

2 sections and tie off onto the bung.( As i said watch the size of the bung you get you may want to take the top two sections with you when you get it..

 

 

Hey presto a simple but cheap pole...

Upps!!! sorry Chris forgot to mention the elastic conector as well to suit the elastic you buy...

 

 

Hope it works ok

Uuummm...

 

If it's a whip, won't it have a solid "flick tip" rather than a hollow top that an elastic will go through?

 

Just a thought...

Good point Keith, not sure, the whip i had for my lad was hollow, so it worked well..

 

 

Just as a precaution it may be adviseable to check first....better safe than sorry.

 

Chris which 5m whip is it??...

And tape the bit you're going to cut, otherwise it may split when you go at it with the hacksaw...
