I was thinking of getting one of those big zingers....

    The Gear Keeper net zinger is EXACTLY what I use (for 2 years) & it's great. Just pull your net to the front & when done, just let it go. Fantastic & easy! In fact, I have Gear Keepers for my sling pack for tools & my waterproof camera. The great thing is they all have quick releases so you can take the item off. With the camera zinger, I attach it to my sling pack & also clip it to a belt loop for use at Browns' games, the zoo, soccer games, etc. If I want someone else to take a picture, I just squeeze the quick release. I could ADVERTISE these things!
    I recommend Gear Keepers 100% & they are also the strongest zingers I have ever used. No, I am NOT affiliated with them in any way..just a totally happy customer.

    This is the one I have for my net..... http://www.gearkeeper.com/flyfish/landingnetretrac.html click on fly fishing to see their other stuff. The micro zinger (with screw post) works great thru the cordura nylon belt tabs on my Simms Sling Pack...no tools hanging in front of me but instantly available.
