I like the clips on the bag attaching to a d-ring on my belt much better than the belt loops.

Just a shoulder strap bag for the last 40 years. Works fine for me.

No boat, back in the suds.

Swimming or wading neck deep with a bag floating all over the place is a huge pain in the ass.

Also, mounting to the belt in addition to the shoulder strap helps to place some of the bag's weight on your hips and less on your upper back.

I had a bag made with stainless steel rings on the back. These rings attach to clips on my belt. The bag can slide on the belt as needed. I have been beyond happy with this system. My back is MUCH less sore after a long night and the bag is always under control.

I like the sounds of that set up. I have tried to clip my bag to my belt to take weight off my shoulders and to avoid it flipping around when landing a fish. But im ADD big time when it comes to changing plugs so not having the ability to swing the bag easily sucks. Do you have a pic of your set up?

Everything is better on the rocks.

You can see how my 3 tube Commando is attached to my belt. I use the shoulder strap and clips together to evenly distribute the weight of the bag as well as secure it from moving while casting, swimming, etc... I can't feel any weight form the bag due to the distibution between my shoulder and belt and the bag will not move unless I want it to.

Rob here is the pic of my set up.

On the belt those are just quality carabiners that the rings snap into.
