POLE vs WHIP! Which will win?

[@dennishughes3250]

Posting this before I watch so that I can be unbiased (I hope). But fishing one method for 30 minutes and then switching to the other method does seem a flawed comparison. That is,, building the swim would seem that the second method would most likely appear better. Just my 2c. Now gonna watch and see what happens.

Whip over pole for me every time. I sometimes use waggler on whip and even float ledger on the whip. Not heard anyone else do this but believe me, it works 😮😊

[@phee-white]

Some moneys worth of bait 😮

[@jameselston8848]

I always keep a 10m system whip handy in case pike are a problem. You can pull fish out in front of pike. Only problem is I was almost hit by a 10lb pike jumping out after a 6oz roach on the Thames……

[@colinkochanski5102]

That whip looks like the Daiwa Zoom? From the mid nineties if im not mistaken 😊nice to see , some classic gear back then, that have a cult following.

[@derekskinner]

A few folks have commented about the wind affecting the whip fishing, if you use the right float and rig it will cope with the wind BETTER than a pole.

[@terryyakamoto3488]

Can you go into more detail Derek, I know that you make the bottom end whip wagglers

Not tried either but whip appears more of a fun experience.

[@GSPhotographics]

Quite interesting video to watch. Personally for me though fishing like I am in a race does not appeal to me, although I do get it when your match fishing.

[@unionjakjakson]

The weather(wind) is key. Headwind or downstreamer, pole is best. But when conditions are right, the whip for me.

[@derekskinner]

Not if you use a bottom end only float on the whip. if you use a top and bottom it blows all over the place.

Lovely fishing. Both methods to achieve the best out of the swim. All counted on the new matrix digital clicker (with stop watch feature)......Which shop has got them in stock (22nd Nov 2023) ?

[@stevenmoses5807]

A whip always has its place I carry a 4m in my bag for small ponds and canals. Great for roach on the surface.. use a small straw from a kids cup drink held on with rubber pole float bands small hook and caster's for bait. Great bit of fun . Poles yuk bin em floats tips are to small ( you can spot pole anglers , they have to wear glasses) you can't have a brew holding a pole. Rod n line every day

[@karlmerthan9129]

Weight of Whip and Weight of Pole would be interesting. I think fish on Pole have been bigger. Greetings from Germany.

[@paddyO961]

any reason for using 2 pinkies on the whip and using 1 pinkie on the pole?

[@kevharrison7040]

That's a lot of groundbait

[@trevoror8668]

No not at all

[@paulcole4902]

He probably doesn't have to pay for it that's why

[@darrenearl2139]

I couldn't afford the groundbait... Lmao

[@yeoo5106]

Last match I fished I used 4kg of groundbait, £5 for 2kg of champion feed groundbait if you know a champion rep

[@roryt9751]

Was that the film sped up during the video or is that just the way that Polly does Speed Fishing?! 😜

[@totenvt]

"stamp of fish" only a match fisher would invent that phrase

[@alexmaruntel2195]

Where is this place please 🙏

[@Robonthemoor]

I mist the name of the bridge you was fishing at.

[@dannycarman3959]

Wigstones Bridge

[@topfuelteddy]

No hinders groundbait ? .

[@brianreed1451]

yeh i thought that. mind you sonubaits is imo the best ground bait

[@trevoror8668]

The the most cack handed angler in the country does time trial LOL brilliant angler but i would do things slightly different shorter line on the whip for a start. See you on the broads polly

[@rayhart7753]

If I was fishing that close I'd use top 2+1 .and still fish to hand... But a whip is fast.. it's just if do hook a big fish ... Bet you got 15lb though .

[@daldal616]

Seems like you have no idea. You’re probably fishing commercials.

[@yosipko5282]

The differance is price😑

[@sillybait1329]

Its obvious the whip would win, but it did seem like you was rushing on the pole to try and beat the whip, so long as the wind isn't a problem a whip always does the business, just look at the Wye results

[@neilolly]

At the end are you in a hole or has someone removed your bottom half 😂😂

[@philanthropist1241]

Free fishing?? Music to a Yorkshireman's ears !! Great video

[@alexmaruntel2195]

Yeah I wish to know where this place is

[@richardtuxford1812]

​@@alexmaruntel2195march on the old Nene, he said a few times at the start

[@Royboy50]

300 mile round trip from Yorkshire,£50 /£60 of fuel + 5 hrs driving nothing free about that

[@rfnrgj]

If the fish are taking so fast in fact faster than you re-bait why don't you use fake maggots on the hook?

[@rafaltatol2399]

change your position then compare
