How to Make a Fishing Belt

When fishing for large fish in open waters, a fishing belt helps you get fish out of the water. A fishing belt allows for some of the tension to be taken away from the fisherman and into the boat, which makes fighting fish much easier. If you wish to make your own fishing belt, you can do so with simple construction tools.

Things You'll Need

Size 32 PVC T-connector
Size 32 PVC fitting nipples (2)
Electric drill
Screw
Strip of tough vinyl fabric

Instructions

- 1
  Insert your two PVC fitting nipples into the left and right sides of your PVC T-connector.
- 2
  Drill a hole through the top center spot on your PVC connector.
- 3
  Run your vinyl strip through the sides of the PVC T-connector and then tie it around your waist.
- 4
  Insert your fishing rod's gimbal into the center hole on the PVC T-connector. Insert your screw into the hole on top of your T-connector and into the fishing rod's gimbal. Your fishing rod is connected to your makeshift fishing belt.
