Thanks Ben

Hi Ben

Seen many been used overs the years on jig trips, superb in quality and not seen any dramas with them. Nice and light as well.

Ive used one for the past couple of years on GT and jigging trips - no complaintsa at all, light, solid etc. I did upgrade the belt to a nice padded one that slings the bucket a bit lower. Makes life very comfortable. The belt came from Richard at Xpedition Tackle in Singapore.

The belt i bought was the Pelagique one. not a bank breaker by any means. I have arthiritis and suffer lower back pain and it helped with some Sambo jigging no end as well as GT fishing.
