Like it says...polls open!


My guess is Casey Tyler....I'm about to find out in 3-4 weeks. Rhet Kelly has to be up there as well...does he make one?

I got mine from Jim at Classic Bullwhips and was very happy with it. http://www.classicbullwhips.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I specialise in nylon Indy whips, you can read about them here: http://nylon.whips.pl/indy.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I make them heavy, just like leather ones. They are balanced with lead, with leather or nylon fall. See the pics in my gallery.
Drop me a message if you are interested.

Thanks for the info gentlemen. Indiana Jeff, I was planning on buying a classic bullwhip in the future...I assume you like it or you wouldn't recommend, could you PM me what you think about his work 1st hand? Have you tried out any of his roo as well? I will PM you Tomek9210.


All others....Please drop your comments...or is there another thread that discuss this. I was hoping more for a poll. I would love to hear what all that have bought would think. I have owned a couple of Adkins Whips. The 10 was NICE. Six foot was a little heavy.

I owned a 10ft CS bullwhip in Roo hide made special for me from Classic Bullwhips. He went to great lengths to duplicate it for me, so much so that he went to a friend of his to crack an actual Jacka whip to study the heft, braiding, transition, etc. It turned out really nice and served me well for awhile. I sold it off thinking I was going to order a CS from a guy at Texas Whips. Just when I was about ready to order, he disappeared off the face of the earth. :cry: Ever since, I've been meaning to order an actual Jacka CS but whenever I get enough funds, something else pops up and I end up spending the funds.

They're definitely worth a purchase. :TOH:
