Try shortening the strap a bit and sliding it way around back when you land a fish. It should stay there.

Best regards,
Roger

Thanks for the tips. I just rigged up a strap with a quick disconnect to go on the belt. I'll give it a shot tonight.

Most plug bags that have shoulder straps also have the loops for a surf belt/strap on the backside so you can prevent that from happening. I use two belts, a stiffer, heavier surf belt (also has my pliers, rope and knife on it) and an more elastic type surf belt to secure my bag to my side or behind me to keep it from flying around when rock hopping and being in the way when I don't want it to.

Maybe time someone designs a backpack type of strap, similar to what was done to golf bags so that the weight is carried by both shoulders, and keeps the bag squarely on your back until you want to bring it around to the front.......
