I'd post a photo of myself in my waders but I think they make my butt look big.......

I really want to look for that SEAL velcro ammo belt - I've never been crazy about the standrd pistol belt once the plastic clasp wears.

On my belt I carry a 30 lb Boga with the mike cord from an old CB radio (remember those, good buddy?) as a lanyard - it's stouter than a telephone cord -

Rip-Off plier sheath with a loop rather than the clip-type and a fold-over cover to secure the pliers with velcro - the pliers are Shimano's that are $20.00 or so and more than adequate. I won't be tempted to go in after them if I drop 'em overboard.

The only other item on my belt is a 9" Rapala fillet knife that I keep sharp as a straight razor.

After many long nights of casting with a Surfcaster double row bag on I keep thinking a small 'Skinz bag for the belt is going to be high on my list this Spring - that and a small lunch-size soft-sided cooler with eels is all I need and I'm good to go.
