Whipmaking Supplies and other Resources:

#650 Nylon Paracord:

Call Ray Rios @ R&W Rope Warehouse for ordering full spools of at least 1000ft of 650 coreless cord or 1200ft of 550 cord.

1-(800)-260-8599

Be sure to tell him that Rhett Kelley sent you.

For smaller orders of 500ft or less, I recommend U-Braid-It.com

Sinker Cord:

I now sell the 3/8″ sinker cord that many of us nylon whipmakers use for making their shot loaded cores. This product makes stringing up BBs very easy. Leading vendors of this product only ship with UPS making it super expensive for people only ordering a few feet at a time. When you’re just starting out making whips, you may not want to buy large quantities at first. Ordering your smaller quantities from me will save you lots of money in shipping. (Just 6ft of sinker from most vendors can cost $17.00 with shipping!)

3/8″ sinker cord price schedule:
The more sinker cord you buy, the cheaper it is per foot:

1-19 ft = $1.00/ft
20-49ft = $0.85/ft
50ft -69ft = $0.70/ft
70ft – 99ft = $0.55/ft
100ft and over = $0.45/ft

Postage included to all U.S. addresses! Priority mail for orders over $20.00!

(Just 6ft of sinker from most vendors can cost around $17.00 by the time they tack on UPS shipping. Order that same 6ft of sinker cord from me and it’s just a flat $6.00 with postage included! )

To order, email Rhettswhips@ yahoo.com or call 912 685 6759.
