I assume that as this is high impedance and tiny current into the amplifier that ferrite beads may not be quite so so effective. I do like them though, cheap and easy, removable with no damage.
If your whip setup is wide-band, would a low-pass filter be appropriate, or if single band, how about a series-tuned circuit? These should take the edge off any spikes.

For sharp spikes coming out from the cable I suggest some ferrite bead or a VK200 choke on the receiver input. I believe they have no attenuation at LF frequency.
