Superium 8m System Whip

The Preston Superium 8m System Whip has been developed for traditional long-line fishing. The slim, stiff blank combines low weight with good balance, allowing you to handle the rod with control when fishing for coarse fish. In addition to the flick tip, the package includes an extra Hollow Top 3 Kit and a holdall.

Take-apart construction for different fishing lengths

The System Whip has a take-apart construction and a full length of 8 metres. This allows you to adjust the rod length used to suit your swim and the conditions. Preston has also considered balance at shorter fishing lengths in the design.

The whip is intended for rivers, canals and stillwaters. The manufacturer lists both slow and faster-flowing water as suitable applications, with an emphasis on fast fishing and control over the rig.

Flick tip with rotating Dacron connector

The supplied flick tip has a rotating Dacron connector for quickly attaching your rig. This tip is intended for traditional long-line fishing. In addition, according to Preston, the System Whip can be used with a short elastic setup for larger fish.

If you make your own rigs, Preston Reflo Power nylon is a supple line for rigs and hooklengths. Match the line diameter to your setup, the expected fish and the top kit configuration used.

What is included in the package?

• A Superium 8m System Whip, including flick tip with integrated Dacron connector.
• One extra Hollow Top 3 Kit.
• A holdall for storing and transporting the rod.

If you are looking for an extra or replacement top kit later, view the Superium 8m System Whip Top 3 Kits. There you can choose separately between the Hollow Top 3 with hollow tip and the Flick Tip Top 3 for traditional long-line fishing. These individual kits belong to the System Whip and are a different product range from the Superium X top kits.
