To make the process of moving gear I found that having to keep track of 2 separate boots a Hassel.  So I used a 1/2" grommet kit and caribener to hook them together.

The grommet kit is available at the big box home improvement center and online.  It consists of a male and female brass grommet, a hole punch and 2 part anvil to roll the male grommet.   Just need a hammer.  I think it's worthwhile when moving your gear around.  Bill
It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

Nicely Done Bill!
 I usually just wear my boots on and off the boat because carrying them is a PITA!

Good idea, and I have grommets and the tools.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Oh, forgot to mention, by using the carabiner to connect your boots, you will also have a carabiner to hold your fish towel on your belt :d

A dyi must, the grommet tools. I did that with my towel. It lasts for awhile before it starts to corrode.
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!
