Smitty's Shoulder Rest

The Smitty's Shoulder Rest is a specialized fishing accessory designed to transform a standard fighting rod belt (gimbal) setup into a full harness system, providing crucial upper body support when battling large, powerful game fish. Used in tandem with a gimbal belt (sold separately), this innovative rest distributes the extreme pressure and weight of the fighting rod and reel across the angler's shoulders and back, rather than concentrating it on the core or arms. 

Constructed with durable, marine-grade materials and thick, comfortable padding, the Smitty's Shoulder Rest is built for the rigors of offshore fishing. It typically features quick-clip connections that securely attach to the lugs or D-rings of the fighting belt. This design significantly reduces physical fatigue, allowing anglers to apply maximum drag pressure and fight trophy fish like marlin, tuna, or swordfish more efficiently and comfortably during prolonged battles. It is a vital tool for serious big game anglers seeking superior leverage and endurance
