The weather's getting cooler, and the yotes are getting fat and slick around here! thumbup1
I tied up a couple of lanyards this evening, and I thought I'd throw them out and see how y'all like them. I tried to come up with something that would combine versatility, comfort, good looks, QUALITY, and the best bang for the buck, so here they are.
They are 4, 5, or 6 drop lanyards, depending on whether you choose a single or double drop on either or both sides. The upper braid is fuller and a little firmer than my other flat-braid lanyards so it's comfortable around your collar. The lower section is a round 4 braid and it's supple enough for the lower 2 calls to be easily maneuvered. The length keeps your calls ready between shirt pocket and belly button level, and the calls are spaced to prevent rattling (like all of my lanyards).


Nothing fancy, just good serviceable lanyards from my usual mil-spec US made paracord...and no plastic or other foreign objects attached. thumbup1

These 2 are good all-purpose hunting colors.
The top one is Coyote Brown and Desert Camo, and the bottom one is Olive Drab and Coyote Tan. Sorry for the poor pictures. The flash kills the colors.

$25 each shipped to your door, and I'll throw in an extra little thing or 2 with these.

Thanks!





Here's a close up of the simple drop attachment:

They look nice! No way I could make them and look that good.

Thanks Sean!
It's simple, secure, and easy to switch out, and it makes the part around your neck fuller and a lot more comfortable.

I don't have a patent on it, so feel free to use it any time! thumbup

I've got more of these ready to go.
Most of the color combos are OD Green, Desert Camo, and Coyote Brown.
I tied one up this evening in a Desert Camo/FL Orange combo. It's pretty nice. I'll take some pictures if anybody wants to see it. thumbup1

That desert camo looks great with a lot of color combos. That orange stands out.!!!!

Thanks guys!
I appreciate the kind words. thumbup1

Chad, I've only found a couple of colors that don't match up well with the desert camo.
I've done the orange with OD Green, Coyote Brown, and the Desert Camo, and they all match up.
I did one in orange and black, and it made me think of Halloween every time I saw it. laugh

I'm going to have several more of these ready to go in the next couple days.
They'll be in various color combinations of OD green, Coyote Brown, Desert Camo, ACU Digital, and basic black.
I've also got some red, blue, neon (hunter) orange, and a little white in case somebody would like one braided up in their own color combo.

Thanks! thumbup1

Looking good! Its hard to beat a lanyard with a little orange in it. If you're like me I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my shoulders. The orange helps me find my lanyard when, or if I lay it down.

Thanks Sean!
I love the braids with the orange mixed in. The color blind critters can't see it, and you'll never lose a lanyard full of nice calls. thumbup1
I've done several orange combo lanyards for waterfowl hunters that have lost a bunch of high-dollar calls when they take their lanyard off to gather up the decoys and lay-out blinds, and then they can't find their lanyards again because they are camo colored.

I opened my Christmas present to myself this evening. My orange camo lanyard!!!! Does knowing what it is lessen the anticipation?? Absolutely, positively not. grin
Well, let me just say that this thing is AWESOME. How do you get your braids so amazingly tight? Do you have bionic arms? laugh Great work! thumbup I love it! I can't wait to break it in this Sunday. Dogs beware.

Thank you, you do an amazing job twisting that cord! The color combination definitely turned out awesome! I'll be in touch when I get some more cash saved up.
Thanks again

I got a lanyard from Jeff in the mail today. Let me tell you guys, these are nice lanyards! Braids were perfect, and it looked awesome! I have no idea how he gets his tied keepers that tight!

Thanks Jeff!!

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the kind words!

I try to tie a nice solid lanyard that's meant to be used...nothing fancy, just something that'll hold your calls securely, and last a lifetime of hard hunting! thumbup1

UPS brought me 4000 feet of cord that had been backordered for a few weeks, so that should keep me busy for a while! laugh
