Post Call lanyards-bright colors?!?
I was looking for a call lanyard online. Found some braided paracord lanyards I liked. They were offered in camo colors, of course, but also in some really bright colors as well-even fluorescent!
I know that movement is the biggest give away, but ducks have color vision, so it seems like these bright colored lanyards would be a bad idea.
Thoughts?

Gotta make some bright lanyards to match the neon chartreuse and blaze orange calls people are buying these days...god forbid all the fashion hunters out there have mis-matched lanyards!

I've been making a few here and there for myself and friends, for my duck call lanyards (the ones I'm wearing out in the open occasionally) I try to keep camo. However, my goose call lanyyard that I'm currently running is neon green, I really don't know why i chose that color, but it's different and it's usually used from a layout blind so the color shouldn't matter.

Hehe-fashion hunters :lol:
I've seen hats, etc. with brightly colored brand logos so everyone can clearly see that they spent $$$ on their hat, I guess.
Most of the Academy brand stuff works fine for me, although I do spend more on some things, like waders, etc.
To each his own.

you got me :lol: had one of those little raggly ass clips so you can take calls on and off pretty easily break and i lost one of my calls once in some fairly clear water and couldnt find it and it was a dark green call, so i buy the bright ones now. ive set both in the the water side by side and its pretty easy to spot a bright orange call in the water next to the black one. 120-160 bucks a call i wanna keep em so i guess ill keep the fashion show going. ducks must like the show to cuz they keep dying with em on my neck :lol: :lol: oh plus they look good with all my drake gear!

What happened to duck hunting? Fools wearing makeup in the blind, with 7 different colored calls on the their lanyard hunting over more electronics than a Radio Shack, and pulling their boat with a truck covered in stickers. I swear there are more freaking gimmicks and gadgets these days and too many people are getting suckered in. Like my good buddy once said, 95% of the gear nowadays are for the hunter and not the duck.

Hunting should be fun, and if you enjoy it, that's all that matters, and I know I shouldn't judge. With that being said, they've got too many silly duckhunters out there.

well said whistling wings, but I have a blue call not bright only color they had at the time. I do not understand color lanyards also I just wont hunt with anybody that has one cause if we can see them so bright so can the ducks. Also if anybody wants a custom lanyard or meat hanger message me can do just about any one you find on the internet and cheaper

get one of those neoprene wraps for your call.......you can go with any color call you want, the wrap will hide it and it will float......
