A closer look
The Anatomy of a Bullwhip
Here’s a break-down of a bullwhip. The handle is the stiff portion containing the 1/4″ steel rod. The mid knot marks the end of the handle and the beginning of the transition — the start of the thong. The thong tapers down from 16 strands all the way to the 4-plait hitch knot, where the fall is attached. The fall extends another two feet, and the popper is attached at the end.
