Why are cheap poles being sold as whips?

[@davidbenjamin5356]

Great video that has reminded me how to attach a rig to a whip. I bought a very expensive set of Italian whips but havent used them for at least 10 years. Local canal has been recently stocked with a lot of silver fish up to about a pound in weight. Cant wait to reacquaint myself with my whips. Thanks

Actually bud... they are known as whips because soldiers during and after the war used the radio aerials from Tanks to fish with and they are known as a "whip Ariel" and still called that today by modern armies... so a bit of fishing history there for you..👍🏼

Thanks for that. I was given a genuine tank aerial rod once but don't know what happened to it, which is a shame. Great bit of information - thank you
