Re: Harness and belt recommendation
I assume UR talking stand up system , if so then the gimbal regardless of brand should always be pre fitted for UR body , waist band, drop length etc should allow for ur arms to be in a relaxed position & not outstretched for the pump cycle . Reel should be positioned mid thigh & short butt rods are my choice !
Many instances except on really tough fish I would opt for a padded shoulder harness , this item can attach via a clip release system to UR reel & allow u too maintain pressure , while shaking out UR arms .
Many prefer on big fish a kidney set up which should hook up to UR reel in same fashion . I like a kidney harness that's wide similar to a power lifters bell this extra width prevent kidney rub / burn under hvy pressure .
Also any clips on big game harnesses should be of the quik,release nature !
Ur belt choice is just that urs , U should always try on & test best U can under pressure . This will at least put U in the ball park of comfort & fit .
This all plays into balance of comfort for U & allows u to pressure any size fish without feeling burn anywhere !
It's all proper size & comfort nothing more if these needs R met than you'll have very little issues on all fronts !
Of course quality & design are of paramount importance since U get exactly what u pay for in this game .
