I picked up a new belt last season...for years I could not find a belt I really liked (must have 6 or 8 of them) but last year found a navy seal black HD velcro ammo belt for 10 bucks in an army navy store. Used it all season...works great!!! Very heavy duty and no metal on it to rust or cut my aquaskinz jacket.
I have on it a small aquaskins bag (on the side), and the large pauch(in the back), sometimes a bogo grip cliped to the stainless D ring and teatherd to the belt with a VS coiled teather(also on the back). Also I have a pair of pliers...I don't take the donmars anymore...I leave them on the boat now, I use a pair of 15 buck shimano pliers that last the season no problem if you soak them in some wd40 now and again and have them on quick open/close velco sheath. (I buy 4 or 5 of these pliers a season now cause I do loose them to Neptune...I consider it a fishing tax) They can not cut a hook...(well I did but I ruined the cutters) but they do a pretty good job on braid (***if*** the cutters are in like new shape, if not...they suck on braid) and do a good job at de-hooking a fish) Also I have a plastic D ring on the side for clipping a eel bag should I need that.
It is loaded but my hands are free and I have enough gear for fishing just about anyplace. I can get in and out of the small bag for plugs and I rarely go into the pauch but it carrys some extras should I need it and it says near my backside.
I keep a clipper on my jacket (for braid) and have two LED lights, one on my hat and one around my neck that fits in my pocket. I also carry a leader wallet in my skinz pocket.
If I am going for an extended period and want lots of stuff, my big bag then makes the journey, I wear a different belt which has less stuff on it and carry the big bag on my sholder and place it on the beach when I get to my spot.
But I have to say having everything on your belt and nothing to carry except your rod is nice..
can't wait for the spring run............................................... ...
