Whats the difference between a signal whip and a snake whip?
A. First, snake whips and signal whips share the unique quality of having a flexible handle (as opposed to having a steel spike or cane in the handle like bullwhips and stockwhips). The only difference between the two is in the end of the whip. Snake whips end much like a bullwhip with a fall attached at the end of the braided portion (the thong) with a fall hitch, and the popper attached to end of the fall. A signal whip skips the fall and instead has a popper that is gradually braided into the tapered end of the whip.
