This bullwhip is composed of machine braided synthetic rope loaded with lead shot, extending from a poured-lead weighted nylon handle. The combination of flexibility and weight makes for easy cracking. Unlike nylon bullwhips these synthetic whips will not stretch. Synthetic whips are rough and ready partners to our leather whips. Get this whip wet with no worries, water cleans it. The fifteen inch butt foundation is wrapped with a nine inch easy grip handle. The thong is eight feet. The seventeen inch fall is long lasting, the five inch crackers may be replaced if needed by our own crackers. Color is Black. Made in New Zealand.
