Joe,
Thanks for the help :) The next time I have a question, (and I already do) I'll certainly be more careful about the technical terms that I use. lol My wife has always wanted to travel, but I have told her that hungNtree has probably been banned from Ohio. :(
As for my next question, anyone have a chainsaw I can borrow? I am going to cut that @%!&* tree! :p
I use the one on my vest to hold my forceps. Keeps em from swinging around on the end of the zinger.
I've never used the ones on the shirt. If I start to fall down, I can't toss the rod out of the way if its stuck to my shirt.:D

Never. never use those straps to hold the rod when you a moving. They are only ment to be used when you are in a stationary mode.

Come on down and I'll introduce you to Clyde. Clyde is a tree that not only has reached out and snagged 6 of my fly's but also was the direct cause of a broken rod (it was my favorite Sage 3 wt.)!! Clyde lives because he normally harbors some nice trout under his low hanging *#@&~ branches!!
:D Jack. I was talking about in the "stationary" mode!!! Can you say clutze?

That is spelled with a K "Klutz" as in can't "chew gum and walk at the same time!" I think it's and indian name for "Found Slippery Rock in River"!
Thanks, everybody; I may forego using that shirt tab. If I use it while I'm standing, chances are I'll absentmindedly bend at the waist suddenly, or twist my torso around while fussing with a knot, reaching for a replacement fly, etc.
Do any of those and it seems the rod will slide through the tab and jam one of the guides against it, which could lead to the guide breaking off...or worse.
Better, I think, to just prop the rod in the bend of my elbow. I haven't banged up a rod yet doing that (knock on wood).
