Default Re: Harness and belt recommendation

I believe Aftco has a good one only used there belts but used the original monster bucket for many season but this was designed for chair use .
Many models today are bucket style that U can stand up with & designed with that in mind .
UR Rod n reel choices R just as important by the way they to must be chosen with stand up in mind . The best belts are will not cure UR difficulties in fighting a fish if ur tackle choices R way off base !
If ur blowing thru harnesses on a regular basis I don't have an answer I've cought hundreds of big fish those in the 100to 300 lbs plus only broke a few harnesses of course I never skimped on quality and always pre fitted best I could under hvy pressure ! Most anglers cannot maintain much over 35# drag on stand up without properly bracing ur self .
We destroyed more chair set ups on Gts than ever on standup .
UR style of fighting a fish can also make things difficult if ur tackle & harnesses don't fit properly !
One cavieat' plenty of good choices today compared to 20/30 yrs ago U should have no problem at all in finding suitable quality products .
Few to look at Braid , Aftco , Black Magic & talk to someone who's caught many fish on SU then u'll get it right !
