IBSP2NorthFork Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Hey whats up guys ! So I was running a ODM Belt last season and found it to be not stiff enough for my application. I am torn between the Rock Hopper & Gear Up belts as they seem to be the most stiff. I tend to have two bags, plus boga, pliers, etc. on the belt. All advise appreciated.

SlackTideBri Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Two bags, must be part of the "no plug left behind" program. I have the Rockhopper and it does have some give to it but once all the gear is balanced out it does a great job and comfortable for the mid summer months chasing daytime fish. Heavy velcro on the inside locks everything in place where you want it. Normally have on it plug bag, knife, pliers, boga, clip for eelbag and pork rind carrier used for water bottle.

SPCFudgie Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Ultimate surf belt from Tiderunner, had mine for about 6 years and haven’t had a problem with it yet R.R. Bridge Fisher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynasty Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 i cant review it because mine is being shipped to me right now but i went with the tide runner. many people like it, supporting small business and price is right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraniteStRockfish Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 i love my tiderunner but honestly dont think its right for supporting the weight of gear youre talking about havent tried nearly all the belts out there, but i can vouch for the gear up belts and if you want cheaper the galls or blackhawk law enforcement duty belts on sale work great - difference comes down to buckle options and ease of adjustability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripnowell45 Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Get a Flatlander belt... very rigid and supports a ton of weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Szwagulinski Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Flatlander would likely be your best option if you can find one for sale. The wait for a new one I think will be until the fall. Personally I use a rockhopper and cannot complain. I typically have a 3 tube, a buck tail pouch and plier sheath on my belt.

ACFishing Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Flatlander is the best but gear-up is an great alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonsLax48 Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 You could try attaching suspenders to the belt that you have in order to take some weight off of it Slaptail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesgord Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 My Tiderunner has served me very well the last couple of seasons. Have never carried two bags, but have had it loaded with a two tube bag, bucktail pouch, pliers, boga, and a couple of d-rings with no problems.
