Fish Fighting Harness and Belt
When battling the dream fish, the Equalizer allows you to apply greater pressure without increasing stress on your back, arms or legs. The padded gimbal belt gives you increased comfort and better blood circulation during long fights. You can wear the unique lightweight webbing belt all day, then simply slip the gimbal on in seconds when the fish strikes. The harness design provides you with a stronger product that is lighter and less bulky than other alternatives.
The Gimbals:
More Comfort
All Black Magic Equalizer gimbals are padded with special materials utilising sports medicine technology to give you more comfort and better blood circulation during those long fights. The padding is similar in construction to that used in the manufacturing of rugby headgear. You will be amazed at the extra pressure you can apply, 30 pounds over the rod tip is as easy as pulling 20 pounds with other systems.
Back pain? No strain, no pain!
More Stability
Sideways movement has been eliminated by the unique design, especially helpful in sloppy seas. For added stability & a wider stance, choose our XL Wide or Twin Pin Pro gimbal.
More Leverage
Your body weight is used to maximum advantage with the recessed gimbal pin positioned lower and further back than other systems. If you’re using the Twin Pin Pro gimbal, the front pin is used for bent butt rods to work without restriction.
Easy To Use
Wear the unique webbing belt all day and simply slip on the gimbal in seconds when the strike comes.
Quality
Designed and manufactured in New Zealand using the best materials.
The Harness:
Unique Design
Moulded and contoured padded componentry gives you a stronger yet lighter and less bulky harness. Unlike conventional kidney harnesses the Black Magic Equalizer divides the strain between the upper thigh/buttocks area and the lower back using innovative twin element padded supports.
Balance
The free running lug clips allow the load to be distributed evenly between the two elements of the harness.
Less Effort
By having the angle of pull lower on the angler, the pressure applied to the reel lugs is increased by up to 50% without any extra effort.
Get the most from your Black Magic Equalizer:
1. Posture
This is the correct posture to take when fish is taking line from your reel.
Note: Knees slightly bent, feet apart. Back is arched so body weight is supported correctly by the harness. Arms should have little strain, as the harness takes all the load, leaving your hands free.
2. Technique
This is the correct technique to lift your fish & gain line once your fish has stopped taking line.
3. The Grind
Rod is at its heightened position and is loaded to its full potential. Once you have lifted the fish, wind on line while you lower your rod and then repeat. At all stages you should have the rod slightly bent, thus keeping a constant pressure on the fish.
