Overview
Experience unparalleled comfort and leverage during intense offshore fishing with the Black Magic Equalizer Gimbal & Harness Set. Proudly designed and manufactured in New Zealand, this premier stand-up fishing system is globally recognised for enabling anglers to apply maximum drag pressure to powerful game fish such as Broadbill Swordfish, Bluefin Tuna, and large Marlin, all while significantly reducing fatigue and discomfort during prolonged battles. It is the ultimate solution for enhancing your capability and endurance when targeting the ocean's most formidable species.
The Equalizer system redefines stand-up fishing with its revolutionary harness design. Moving beyond traditional kidney harnesses that often strain the lower back, its padded structure is strategically positioned low across the upper thighs and buttocks. This innovative placement effectively transfers the load to your powerful leg muscles, enhancing comfort and promoting better blood circulation throughout extended fights. High-strength, free-running lug clips ensure the load is distributed evenly, maintaining balance and control even in challenging offshore conditions.
The robust Equalizer Gimbal perfectly complements the harness. Constructed from specialised lightweight polymers and generously padded with high-density, closed-cell foam, it provides a broad, contoured contact area for comfortable pressure distribution across the thighs. Its deeply recessed pin and angled "V" shape intuitively guide the rod butt into the locking pin, allowing for instant, fumble-free engagement when a fish strikes. By lowering the angler's centre of gravity, this system delivers superior leverage, essential for managing the most powerful ocean species with greater ease.
