$$$$$ Went all out on my lanyard! $$$$$$$
My lanyard consists entirely of a 2-3 foot piece of nylon lobsterpot net material (about 2 cents worth), no beads, no clips, and no cloth/foam padding. Hanging from it you will find forceps, a nipper, a hook sharpener, dry fly paste, 5 spools of tippet and an EXTRA CAR KEY. I've removed a fly drying patch (my shirt works better), a leader straightener and a therometer over the years. I use the lanyard primarily for lake fishing when I'm walking the shore and have one small box of flies in my shirt pocket. I have five spools of tippet because I may be fishing any one of six rods from a one weight to a nine weight. The lanyard is cheap, light and surprisingly comfortable. I've used it for years. 8T :)
