My wife has an Aqualung Rogue, and I have been struggling to find a good attachment point for a trilobite. She tried the computer band, doesn’t like it. I broke down and got a micro squeeze lock knife for it, figured we were good. The other day I needed to cut some line for my trimmer, so I tried out her knife. Nothing! The hook cutter wouldn’t cut it, the serrated blade wouldn’t cut it. No joy. Grabbed a trilobite off of my rig, like butter.
So, someone, please, give me some idea as to where to put a trilobite on this sucker!

Thanks,
Erik
 
If there is a chest strap, put it there. It can be reached with either hand.

There is, and I never thought of that. It sits a bit high, but definitely worth a try.
Thanks!

Chest strap is a great idea (either hand operation) but suggest test to be sure it won’t accidentally slide over (off) the quick clip if you take the rig off in the water to hand it up-common practice in the tropics. If there is a risk of that, suggest using a fixed attachment point using 1/8” bungee to say, corrugated hose or daisy chain on right shoulder depending on whether she's left or right handed.
 
On my son’s Rogue it’s down low on the shoulder strap, between the lowermost plastic buckle and just above the point where it attaches to the back plate - just unthread the lowermost buckle to slide it on. Accessible, secure, and not in the way.

Oh, that’s brilliant. I thought that was a closed attachment, didn’t even realize it could be unthreaded!
 
Just make you can reach it with either hand. Or carry two, one on each side.
