Garbolino Lexica Pro-Whip

Experience the thrill of high-speed fishing and ultimate finesse with the Garbolino Lexica Pro-Whip. This is not just a pole; it is a precision-engineered tool designed for “speed fishing”—the art of catching large numbers of silverfish in the shortest time possible. Whether you are targeting bleak on a fast-flowing river or snatching roach and perch from a canal, the Lexica Pro-Whip offers the lightning-fast recovery and delicate touch required for world-class whip fishing.

Constructed from high-modulus carbon, this telescopic whip is incredibly slim and lightweight, allowing you to fish for hours without fatigue. The standout feature is the spliced-in solid carbon “flick tip.” This ultra-fine tip provides a seamless transition from the main body of the whip, offering enough softness to prevent hook-pulls on small fish while maintaining the stiffness needed to “swing” fish directly into your hand.

Key Features & Performance

High-Modulus Carbon Construction: Provides a stiff, fast action with an incredibly fast recovery rate, essential for hitting lightning-quick bites.
Integrated Flick Tip: The solid carbon tip is perfectly balanced to handle light rigs and small hooks (down to size 22 or 24) without sacrificing strength.
Ultra-Slim Profile: The reduced diameter handle improves ergonomics and wind resistance, making it easier to handle in breezy conditions.
Matt Finish Sections: Designed for smooth handling and to prevent the whip from sticking to your hands in damp weather.

Where to Use the Lexica Pro-Whip

Canals: The perfect tool for “punch” fishing for roach or using pinkies for small perch over a bed of cloud bait.
Slow-Moving Rivers: Ideal for targeting bleak or dace on the drop. The 5m and 6m versions allow you to reach past the near-bank weed beds.
Stillwater Margins: Use the shorter 3m or 4m versions to quickly build a weight of small rudd or perch during a match.
The “Bleak Session”: When the match plan involves a high-cadence catch rate, the Lexica Pro-Whip is designed to be cast and retrieved every few seconds.

💡 Gerry’s Pro Tip

When using a flick tip like the one on the Lexica Pro-Whip, keep your rigs short. Ideally, your rig should be about 6 to 12 inches shorter than the whip itself. This allows the fish to swing perfectly toward your chest, making it much easier to unhook and get back into the water instantly. If you find you are bumping fish, check that your flick tip is clean and clear of any old line wraps!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can this whip be elasticated?

A: While primarily designed as a flick-tip whip, the top sections of the Lexica Pro can be removed or cut back to accommodate a light elastic (No. 2 to No. 6) if you are targeting slightly larger fish. However, for maximum speed, we recommend using the flick tip as intended.

Q: How do I attach my line to the tip?

A: The most common method is using a “stonfo” style connector or a simple “crow’s foot” knot made from heavy-duty dacron or fly-line backing glued to the tip.

Q: Is it suitable for beginners?

A: Yes. Because it is telescopic, it is very easy to set up. It’s a great way for beginners to learn the basics of “line to hand” fishing before moving on to more complex take-apart poles.

Q: What is the maximum fish size it can handle?

A: The Lexica Pro-Whip is designed for “silverfish” (up to 8oz or 1lb). While the carbon is strong, it is a finesse tool; if you hook a large “bonus” carp, you will need to be very patient and use the full flex of the whip to avoid a breakage.
