Harness question - Page 2

Gunsmoke · 07-27-2006, 02:57 PM

OK, I'll post pics. It's already started. Right now its over 128 pounds and it's not finished. I'm waiting on 7 of the 90 degree cast brass with chrome plating Lee rod holders and some 1 1'2" thick rubber for feet. Stainless handles and rest is complete except for the fiberglass coating of the box. I'm going to need some help carrying these little beast.

I guess you'll need to borrow Mcgolfer's crane to get that on the boat!

There are several Harness alternatives.

AFTCO has a new standup butt bucket that is 69$ retail and reviews say it is a very good harness. The only thing I can see that might be a gig against it is the thick padding...it would make you sweat on the GOM.

If you've looked at the OTR Harness check out the RONBO II and Ronbo standard harness.

Gameface Gear has some sturdy stuff at resonable prices too. Check out the Long Ranger harness and the Angler P.A.D. plate 19" Wide.

Just type "Standup Harness" into your search engine window for a WIDE selection.
