Retractor/zinger for heavy stuff?

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.

Everything is better on the rocks.

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.

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.
