Karaka Stock Whip, 6 foot
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 many types of nylon stock whips, these synthetic whips are UV resistant and will not stretch appreciably.
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. Colors are Black or Wasp (yellow and black.) Made in New Zealand.

More Info
Synthetic rope is very strong, and it can be easily cleaned. It cannot be easily damaged by inexperienced users. Synthetic whips can be a good choice for a place where leather might deteriorate in wet conditions or be damaged on a concrete surface. If you are a beginner and would like to try your hand with a whip and don't want to invest in a more expensive hand braided leather whip, a synthetic whip might be for you.

Care
Synthetic whips are maintenance free. They can be washed with water and used while wet. They can be used in wet, muddy or in snowy conditions. The thong is totally synthetic, so there is no potential for rot and it cannot be cut or broken easily.
