Use this whip in the stockade for alerting cattle to your intentions, or use a pair to awe a human audience with a two-handed multiple cracking routine. This stock whip's six foot thong is machine-braided synthetic rope, loaded with lead shot. The loaded thong and poured lead in the handle makes this whip easy to crack. Unlike nylon stock whips, 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 eight inch easy grip wrapped handle extends seventeen inches to the keeper that joins it to the thong. 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.
