I started purchasing equipment to go to doubles. I'm using new and used to get there and save money. But when looking for a weight harness and pockets I thought the price was too high.
I go to eBay and purchase the Trident 5 pocket weight belt for 13 bucks and the WB80 Black weight suspenders for 20.
I received them both yesterday. The pockets are sewn to the belt. So I had to come up with a way to attach the back of the suspenders.
1. I first cut some extra length off the harness and made two small strips. To attach to the back of the belt .
2. I placed the strip where I wanted them. I used a soldering iron to make holes. I nice thing is, once you melt the holes the strip stays in place.
3. I used 3/16 rivets with a number 8 washer and attached both strips. I also put one in both front suspender straps to keep them from sliding.
I'm happy with the way it came out. And I have about 35 bucks into it. My lead is formed from a sardine can. They average 3 pounds 3oz. Two fit nicely in one pocket.
