The Smitty’s Soft Pad is a simple solution for not getting bruised up when fishing 30-60lb gear. Sometimes a gimbal plate is not warranted. You need something just to rest the back end of the rod on. Place the Smitty Soft Pad on your thigh or mid-buckle line and save yourself from getting unnecessarily bruised up. The soft pad won’t allow the gimbal cap to dig in and become uncomfortable during an extended fight.
The soft pad is equally effective on casting or spinning gear. When you are looking for the freedom of not wearing a gimbal plate and want some type of protection, the Smitty’s Soft Pad is the solution.
