Giveaway: Free MooseKnuckle Carbon Fiber Lanyard™

Fly Fishing Lanyards…some people love ’em, some people don’t see the point.  Until recently, I probably fell into the latter grouping.  I always interpreted them as simply a charm necklace for anglers…and unless you’re Mr. T or Flavor Flav, you probably can’t pull one off.  That coming from a guy who fishes with a man-purse.

Swap fly box for kitchen clock and you get the point…

That perception changed a bit when I ran into MooseKnuckle Lanyards on the various social networks.  Let’s just say this isn’t a necklace your kid braids together in summer camp.  Not only do these lanyards have some really sweet technology in the form of a unique adjustment system, but they are built to be bulletproof and come in some nice finishes, like Stainless Steel, Carbon Fiber, and in a limited edition, Fiberglass.

A MooseKnuckle Carbon Fiber Lanyard in all its glory

Here’s a short video about the MooseKnuckle Lanyard, especially highlighting the adjustment mechanism.

So what’s the advantage of a lanyard?  Well, if you fish light, everything is accessible, right where you need it.  No digging through vest pockets, no lugging around a fishing bag.  Couldn’t be more simple, no muss, no fuss.  Maybe not ideal for the guy who brings 12 fly boxes, 70 spools of tippet, and a Subway Five Dollar Foot Long to the stream, but for those of us that also fish tenkara…hello!…the only thing more streamlined is just using your pockets!  Plus if John Dollar likes it, it’s good enough for me.
So you want one yet?  Have you been lanyard curious and just shy about making the leap?  Well guess what, Jeremy at MooseKnuckle is offering up a free Carbon Fiber MooseKnuckle Lanyard (valued at $34.95) to one lucky Troutrageous! reader.  So no more excuses!
