Any time you have a lot of line out or into a big fish a belt helps alot especially if you're rod has a gimble butt. The belt with the gimble helps the reel from shifting from side to side as you're cranking the reel which helps alot in eliminating hand and arm fatigue!

P.S. It also helps to protect your JEWELS!!!

I've put on a whole harness before for groundfishing... After a couple hours pounding the bottom, we'll be in lazy fishing form, rods in holders, clams & 20 ounce sinkers bounching off the bottom. If I'm too late on the set a couple times, I'll strap the harness on and just kick back - now I can set the hook & drink a beer at the same time .

They make those "sea cups" for next to nothing - sold at boat US; just a cup for the rod butt that slips into a regular belt, it gives you something to brace on.. Or, for a light weight belt, there's a bunch out there in the $30 range that would be an improvement.

I've got the BOATUS harness & belt setup.. It's just a starter setup, and I think immeadiatly after my first shark I'll be upgrading the belt to a Braid brute buster.. The harness I'll probably stick with. I think the style belt that doesn't brace on you legs, like the BOATUS I have, is probably only safe for females, if you get the drift...
