Where to Use: Recommended Scenarios
The Sunbelt Big Game is an essential piece of kit for boat anglers tackling hard-pulling species:
-
Blue Water Trolling: Designed specifically for trolling applications. When a Tuna, Marlin, or large Mahi-Mahi strikes at speed, this belt provides an immediate, secure anchor point for your rod, protecting your abdomen from the initial impact.
-
Deep Sea Wreck Fishing: If you are winching large Common Skate, Conger Eels, or specimen Ling from the deep wrecks around the UK coast, the 35cm wide foam surface ensures the pressure is spread evenly across your thighs and hips.
-
Stand-up Shark Fishing: Perfect for stand-up style battles with Blue Sharks or Porbeagles. The wide, adjustable belt stays seated on your hips, preventing the harness from riding up during heavy pumps of the rod.
-
Heavy Tropical Popping: Even when casting large poppers for Giant Trevally (GT), having this belt ready allows you to quickly slot the rod in once youve hooked up, giving you the leverage needed to stop a fish from reaching the reef.
The Gerrys Fishing Verdict
The Sunset Sunbelt Big Game stands out because of its massive 35cm x 22cm support surface. Many standard gimbal belts are too narrow, causing hot spots of pain during long fights. The Sunset design covers a larger area of your body, which drastically reduces fatigue. Its rugged, corrosion-resistant, andmost importantlyit gives you the mechanical advantage required to win the battle against the oceans strongest residents.
Gerrys Pro Tip: Always adjust the belt so it sits low on your hips rather than your waist. This lowers your center of gravity and allows you to use your body weight to lift the fish, rather than relying solely on your back and arm strength
