Caicedo Whip

Post by maboot38 »

Hey all,

I just wanted to say that I have a bullwhip from Gus Caicedo that came in last week. I've been working with it since then, and it is gorgeous. I gave it a few Pecard treatments, and have whipped it around outside for a while. It cracked almost instantly with minimal effort and feels great in my hand. The weight is well balanced and the quality (in my opinion) is fantastic for the price.

I highly recommend this whip.

Very nice. I'm assuming it's an 8ft/8plt. :-k

That's what I have and I love it. Gus is a great guy and does great work. :)

Actually, the image above is a photo of Gus's website of an 8 plait whip. Here is an actual photo of my 12 plain 8 ft whip.

Good pick. Is it made with Gus's heavier design?

That's what he told me. I don't have one of his previous whips to compare it to.
