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!

I couldn't agree more with rev. Refuse to wear anything around my neck. The smitty one piece works fine. Sticking to the skin is another reason to avoid them.

I simply don't understand why anyone wouldn't wear the zipper/hook lanyard.

Aggie,
You don't wear them on your zipper --- you hook them to the loop on the front of your shirt! (Couldn't pass that one up!)

Because we do what the guys on tv do, cuz we think it looks cooler, same reason we sometimes don't use a lanyard at all, makes us think we're Steve Javie or Joe Crawford.
