Indeed in the KBC newsletter that accompanied TSW's release, Kate mentions
the whip/fishing rod sound. She said it was indeed Paddy whipping a
fishing rod around to get that sound. 

And doesn't that gel nicely with the air sicks Paddy used to get that
"woosh" sound in "Sat in Your Lap" -- a sound you'd assume was done by a
synthesizer or a syndrum, unless you knew those Bush people who always
have to do it differently.
