Gimbal belt or pad?

[Brandon Khoo]

I like the MC Works one - it looks well padded

[Andrew Poulos]

this is the daiwa

Does the pouch/open part get in the way?

[Andrew Poulos]

Thats as far as it opens so its kind of a pad/pouch. The butt can sit in the pouch a bit. Im using it this weekend to see how it goes . I like it as its very light and makes it easy to move around while on the rocks - and doesnt break the bank balance.

I reckon they are good value Andrew.

I have one on order....I also like the fact they are light.

I have a LT. Metal Lightbelt gimble wich I used on our recent trip to Fiji and found it to be very comfortable and as stated very light I wore all day for three days and it never became uncomfortable. You forget your wearing it.

Wheres the best place to order both these belts?

[Andrew Poulos]

Used mine today. Pretty good. Rod butt sits inside the pouch area...quiet happy with it.

Tom, I picked the daiwa up form Fish head.

[Tom Grubb]

Good to hear the belt works well, thanks i have contacted fishhead!

used my daiwa belt for the first time yesterday, it works a treat, great for jigging and popping. While jigging i got shraked after hooking a fish, he was on for 5-10 min till his teeth must have cut my leader, thought it may have bruised through but i am fine today and no bruising where i was using the belt, wore it for 9 hours and 8+ good fish jigging and popping. must have a rubber butt on the rod to protect the belt!
