Another gear configuration question

So, my bother and I were diving for lobster today. I began to wonder what is the DIR opinion and proper configuration for underwater hunting and collecting?

All equipment is clipped-on to left waist d-ring...

So, my bother and I were diving for lobster today. I began to wonder what is the DIR opinion and proper configuration for underwater hunting and collecting?

One gripe I have always had in lobstering, is the drag caused by the lobster bag.....Prior to seeing lobster and needing to deploy the bag due to "lobster in hand", I keep my "Brownies Bell bottom bag" inside the mc storage pouch (between your back and the backplate, zero drag solution) ..... Once you have bugs though, you are now fighting a lot of drag.
One solution I have considered, and may still try, is getting a pvc pipe that is scuba tank diameter, but shorter, fitting one end to it that allows you to push bugs into it like the better lobster bags, and the other end could be a thick screen or something....this would get clipped, stage style to left side, and be low drag!!!!

Other criteria.....The lobster snare is relatively low drag, and could be clipped off or carried, but is no where near as effective as a net and tickle stick....huge down side of the net, is that it has the most enormous drag of any gear we could ever bring.....someone needs to invent a telescoping net, that also can fold up the circle that holds the net, and allow the diver to have the net with no significant surface area, until a lobster presents itself, and the net is then telescoped out, and the circle expanded and net tightened around the perimeter of the frame....

A scooter can have the snare clipped to it......and maybe...maybe a "sleeve" created for hiding the net from the high drag....

A scooter is the "utlimate" lobstering tool, to add to either your snare or tickle stick gear
