SAN LIKE Fishing Belt Rod Holder Aluminum Fighting Belt - Adjustable Aluminum Waist Fighting Belt rod belt Stand-up Offshore Gimbal Padded (Black)

As described by seller. Was used on my last fishing trip. Worked wonderfully. Would purchase again

Good quality and sits perfectly. Saved my body from bruising while ocean fishing! I wish I had this years ago lol

Love it! Awesome invention. I bought the black one and the black 57. Anyone who has been to war with a big fish, sturgeon for me, knows when you’re in battle and the end of your rod is jammed in your gut, the s—- hurts. Lol. 5 stars on this one for sure. I’m sure it helps your back to relieve pressure too. Love it! So you can see in photo the black 57 has a lot thicker abdominal pad that the standard model. Either way, boy are comfortable and nice addition.

The main reason I bought it is because I like the idea of not having to screw off the metal rod to switch between using a regular rod butt or gimbal butt. While that is true, I did find out that using heavier set ups or hooking up to bigger fish is uncomfortable when using the rod gimbal. Since the metal bar is basically all the way to the bottom and not center, whenever there's a load it pushes just the bottom half into your groin instead of utilizing the whole surface area of the plate. While uncomfortable it is bearable and still better than just bare skin. If you're mainly gonna use without a gimbal then its honestly perfect. I keep it as a back up in my bag for myself or to lend out. Build quality is amazing and cant beat it for only $50.

Sure is more comfortable than a rod but in the groin
