Has anybody bought or used this set of whips, looking for some feedback. Are they worth the money or is it better to buy separate whips from somebody like Daiwa or Garbolino. I only need short lengths up to 3.5m.
Looked it up and it works out at a tenner a whip so not too bad on price but do you need 5 whips to cover up to 3.5m?
My son and I use a 3m garbolino that was a freebie from Angling Direct as part of their ‘get kids fishing’ incentive and it is a wonderful piece of kit. Our next one up is a 5m elasticated whip then an 8m margin pole.

Are those the Garbolino telefloat 158 whips? If so I assume they have a tip ring rather than elastic but its not clear from the description?
I'm trying to find a tip ring or elasticated whip that's from a reputable brand and whilst the £15 ish Leeda ones look ideal it seems the Garbolinos are they only decent sounding ones in stock anywhere as the Leedas seem thin on the ground. Middy ones are far too high grade elastic it seems and all the other tip ring ones seem naff.

Cool thanks, that sort of connector would work fine for me. Would mostly just use it as a perch bait catcher but there would be times where I’d use it for the sort of fish you describe as well ??

I have 2 of them, the 3 metre versions, as most people I got them from AD when spent £10.
Not tried them out yet, wondering what they may be like fishing margins , they seem strong enough.

Been teaching my son with an elasticated whip and we hauled loads of little carp in the warm weather but got mashed by big uns. Now have a proper margin pole for next spring so good things anticipated.
