The Whipper Snapper Goat Strings by Rattler Ropes are designed  and endorsed by Lynn Smith.  They are a 3 ply string  for optimal hold with 2 different variations in stiffness for controllability and speed. 

Original Whipper Snapper is a Medium lay string that has a precise blend between firmness for snappy ties and suppleness for controllability. An ideal string for goat tyers that are looking to add speed to their ties.

Pro Whipper Snapper is a Hard Lay string that offers optimum speed without sacrificing security in the ty.  A truly fast string that is accurate run after run.  Favored by top goat tyers that are comfortable handling a stiff string.   

Lynn has helped modify the Rattler Goat Strings in four different lays;

Soft: For beginner goat tyers that are getting comfortable tying with a nylon string.  It has some body to give a little speed in comparison to cotton or braided goat strings, and still offers security in the ty by inexperienced or smaller hands of young goat tyers.  

Medium: A step up in stiffness for faster ties.  Good string choice for intermediate level goat tyers. 

Medium-Hard: A little stiffer allowing for faster ties.  Good string choice for goat tyers that are advanced in their tying skills and are looking to add speed in their ties.

Hard: The stiffness increases the speed of the ty.  Great string choice for elite goat tyers that have good control in their ties and are comfortable handling a stiff string.  

Strings may be order from any Rattler/Classic Rope Dealer. 

Suggested to condition strings prior to competition by practicing on live goat.  Ty with new string until desired feel is attained then store straight for competition. Strings will soften slightly with use, but often regain firmness if not over used during the first 'break in' period.
