Are there retractors/zingers on the market that are geared towards heaver stuff than forceps for the fly fisherman. Im thinking it would be a good way to keep a boga in the small of my back, i tried a few different set ups and could not find something that was both comfortable and easily accessible.

Dive retractors.. Make sure you check the # force. I looked into them a while ago but just was not for me,,,

Not a retractor per se, but the magnetic net holders and attached cord are great. In fact I may thing about fitting one...

Cetacea heavy load dive retractor. Keeps my 60# boga tight to my belt. There is a thread from last winter on the subject, pretty sure I have pics of my set up in there.

I have the same won after Toby suggested it, thing is great, use it for my 30lb boga, you can use the boga, release the fish and the boga is fully retracted. Worth the 35 bucks or so. Ceteca corp hi force with the lock

Here is the thread Toby started on the subject. I just got the same set up, but haven't attached it to the belt yet. T: do you remember what style/size screws that you used?

not a problem, ill put it in the truck, its a great piece of equipment for short money, better than a lanyard for the heavy stuff.
