Toby I'm not a wetsuiter, but I do wade out to a place that has me in water up to my armpits and I really should be wetsuiting.... Its sandy so I don'twear spikes, but when its rough I keep a caribeener(sp?) clip on a 2 ft phone chord attached to my belt. When I'm out deep and land a fish, I clip the carabeener onto the reel. to free up both hands, I just tuck the but inside my belt, but its a nice feeling that if it did slip out, I'd be hard pressed to loose it. LL bean makes a nice lightweight studded wading boot that i picked up this christmas... nice spikes and a lifetime warrranty. can't beat that.
