1051.0. "Belt and Harness info please" by WAHOO::LEVESQUE (Torpedo the dam, full speed astern) Wed Mar 22 1989 11:05

 Does anybody know where a good place to pick up a harness and belt would be?
How about your experiences with the different brands- BRAID, etc?  I am going to
be using the stuff for catching large sharks and TUNA (with any luck, eh Joe,
Bruce, Walt?).

 I was thinking that the Kittery Trading Post might have them. Are there any 
other places that sell them? My birthday is coming up soon. :-)

    Try up at (I hate to say it) Zyla's. I buy wholesale from him and
    sometimes he has what you want. Hit & Miss. I bought some Braid
    Pro-Mantas from him last year and I'm pleased with the belt. A friend
    Al (you met him) bought a harness for "short change" at Spags. It
    works O.K.
    If you want to try mine  before you buy??
    
    P.S. I hope to have Rainbow Chaser ready soon, Want to come to a
    painting party?

1051.3Saco Bay TackleDNEAST::OKERHOLM_PAUFri Mar 24 1989 15:379
    I don't know how often you get up this way but if you are considering
    Kittery I'd suggest that you go a little further to Saco Maine.
    Saco Bay Tackle Co is my favorite salt water tackle shop. It is
    on route 1 near Old Orchard Beach. They won't have the best prices
    but you can't beat the expertise. The owner, Cal Robinson, is an avid
    offshore fishermen and he can give you a lot of tips along with
    the equipment. I got my braid stuff from him and it works for me.

1051.4still need a harness, thoughWAHOO::LEVESQUETorpedo the dam, full speed asternThu Mar 30 1989 17:555
 I picked up a Braid Manta belt at Zyla's. It cost $45. It fits really well
and seems to be comfortable, even when pressure is applied. I can't until I 
need it. :-)
