Toby,

I have those boots and they look great but are a real pain in the A$$ to get in and out of...especially wet! What I have started to use is a home made wading/korker boot. I took a pair of old hiking boots, took the insole out, drilled holes and inserted 11/4 inch SS bolts with a washer and a lock nut. Not only are they comfortable but the screws stay in place and it takes a long time to wear them down.

I also use a wading boot with neoprene socks & korkers but find this to be less comfortable but easier than doing all the work described up top.

As for securing a rod while on a rock. Aquaskinz is introducing a Stailess Steel "D" ring belt attachment that you can slide your rod into (upto the reel seat) and like Eben said I use a similar clip and lanyard which I connect to my first guide and the rod & reel are basically perfectly secure.
