Silly question.... guessing Fox & Smitty nooses are the same? More commonly known as Smitty?

Fox 40 & Smitty are not the same lanyard. I have both and prefer the Fox 40 lanyard.

The smitty lanyard has a round slide while the Fox 40 lanyard is a rectangle. Fox 40's lanyard is also a higher quality braid and doesn't break as easily as the Smitty.

Alright, I'd never seen the Fox 40 noose before. I use the Smitty noose, so I know what it's like. Thanks Official99.

No problem... glad I could help. The Smitty lanyard usually sticks to your skin, especially if you sweat, the Fox 40 lanyard doesn't... also a benefit.

Good luck in finding a Fox 40 lanyard, they are hard to find. I had to buy mine at the Hoop Mountain camp store. Redding Trophey in Redding MA, sells them.

Hmm, I haven't had any of those problems. I don't sweat a lot, however I do sweat. I usually rotate between a noose and the break-a-way. Just depends what I grab out of my whistle bag and which pocket I reach in, in the locker room, before we come out after halftime.

Not wearing the noose. Seen way too many westerns in my day. Actually, I can't stand something being around my neck like it is. I'll stick to the regular smitty -- without a fish hanging from it!
