Lanyards and Leashes
As an angler that fishes from land, kayak, and boat, I know from past experiences to secure as much of my gear as possible. Especially considering how much time I spend in my kayaks at night, EVERYTHING gets leashed to either myself or my kayak. We are currently offering three different versions of gear leashes/lanyards so we’ve got something to fit every angler and every piece of gear you’ve got!
Lanyards of Lloyd - Boga Lanyard - Specifically designed to fit flawlessly with a pair of Boga grips in a belt or bag holster. Made from coiled 400lb monofilament, then topped with Paracord outer shell, these things are built tough! Finished with aluminum crimp sleeves, marine grade shrink tubing, and stainless steel split rings on both ends, these lanyards are ready to secure your Boga grip and other important tools to your surf belt, center console, or even kayak. In relaxed/coiled position these lanyards are 18” long. $30
Lanyards of Lloyd - Pliers Lanyard - Made from coiled 400lb monofilament, these things are built tough! Finished with aluminum crimp sleeves, marine grade shrink tubing, and stainless steel split rings on both ends, these lanyards are ready to secure your important tools to your surf belt, center console, or even kayak. The primary difference between these ‘pliers lanyards' and the Boga Lanyards is that the Boga version has a Paracord shell covering the mono coil for extra durability. $25
‘No Name Leash’ - These come from one of my vendors and as far as I know are made overseas somewhere. Cable inside with a plastic/vinyl coating and crimped loops on either end. One end will come with a small carabiner, the other end has a 185# split ring. I don’t know exactly how strong these are, but I haven’t broken one yet. $10
Personally if I’m leashing things like my snips, phone case, or hook extractor, the $10 No Name Leash gets the job done fine. I haven’t broken one yet, but I don’t have a ton of faith in them. For Boga grips, fish grips, expensive pliers, or anything that REALLY matters, I’d recommend the Lanyards of Lloyd models. Lloyd is a retired veteran on Long Island who makes these by hand so I know they’re built extremely well. The quality is impeccable and the components are top notch as well. Don’t trust those cheap little plastic loops that come with your pliers, get yourself a real gear leash!
