Rob here the link to the belt it is pretty heavy duty. i just picked one up a couple weeks ago so can't really say how it holds up. Also look for a bianchi police belt (i think thats the name), some guys have had pretty good luck with that belt.

I picked up one of these belts - BLACKHAWK! Molded Cordura Duty Belt - BLACKHAWK! - this winter. You can see it set up in this thread, page two - http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...uestion-2.html

The belt is very heavy duty. It has two different points that need to be pressed in order to open it up. This should prevent the belt from ever opening when you don't want it to. There is is what feels like plastic of some sort inside the webbing so the belt holds its shape very well. It is thick, however, and you may need to modify the belt or anything you attach to it.

I have had my belt for about 15 years and I carry a ton of crap on it. It's from the Surfcaster. It has the plastic closure that all the guys bitch about opening. A simple and foolproof fix for this problem it a simple plactic wire tie, the things used to bundle wires together. Just make it slightly bigger than the closure thingie and slid it on once you have the belt on. I think the belt was about $10 or $12.

No boat, back in the suds.

Bianchi Gun Belts its what the Hunter and etc. are all modeled after. I have the Model 7202, for a year and if you saw it you would swear it was brand new, and it got used alot.
