@@MarkWintleFishing It would be good to see you fishing a long whip in fairly shallow water and show the viewers how you control the long line from pole tip to float.
The challenge, as you allude to, is that a lot of line from float to whip tip is asking for trouble in any amount of wind, and at a certain point other methods, short-lining with a pole, or a little waggler on rod and line, can prove more effective.
@@MarkWintleFishing Why not use a Proper whip waggler and sink the line--that combats the wind. --fishing a top and bottom float whip float in the wind is asking for trouble.
I told you, should have used a Stonfo. :D I fished a club match once and none of the big fish were playing so I ended up with my 6m Maver Alborella whip. I rigged up a small crystal waggler with just some no. 6 shot strung out and caught lots of bleak (alborella) on the drop. You can't get much simpler and I won the match, but only because the club favourite had injured his leg and couldn't fish at all. 🤣😂🤣
a much underused method on the rivers nowadays with the obsession of long pole short line fishing....a good friend and team mate called chavy often fishes it to great effect...
thanks for making these videos, I have found them educational
Great practical advice for any beginner looking to use a whip.
Thank you.

@@MarkWintleFishing A great answer and one I expect many 'newbies' to whip fishing will benefit from.

I fished with Chavey in our Team Castle days and found the system whip useful on the Bristol Avon. Next episode is on the river.
So waxing lyrical about your connection system saying it had never let you down and........... it let’s you down 🤣🤣
Being too lazy to dig around in my tackle box for the correct silicone tubing let me down.
