They are completely functional and Gary will work with you on the color combos. He has also incorporated some extras that set them a part from the rest of the herd. Excellent neck padding for all day comfort. A clip at the bottom so you can attach it to your waders , belt, or shirt. The keeps it from flopping around. Plus it allows you to snap your net to the back of the lanyard. Not something you find on other lanyards. There are enough heavy duty snap swivels to hold what you need. A cool tippet holder that is easy on and off for loading it up. And last but not least it also has a reusable break away if you get yourself hung up. Check out the foam pads above the tippett holder. Ya, that's right they are there to hold your wet used flies.
Told you, designed by a fly fisherman for fly fishers
I know I am forgetting some other good stuff so check them out at: http://www.westernvisionslanyards.com/index.htmlTake a look at the one he made for the CFR/PHW raffle package. He looked at the rod color scheme and matched the lanyard to it. Can you say custom?
