Three support levels. Adjustable compression. One brace.
A basic fixed-support brace gives you one built-in support setup. The Elite Pro gives you more control: change between Light, Medium and Maximum rear support systems, then adjust the compression to suit your fit and how firmly you want the brace to hold your lower back.
One support setup.
If the brace feels too flexible or too rigid for what you are doing, you are generally limited to the support built into that brace.
Light + Medium + Maximum support + adjustable compression.
Swap the rear inserts to change the support: flexible Light, semi-rigid Medium or rigid contoured aluminium Maximum. Then use the adjustable compression straps to fine-tune the fit and firmness around your lower back.
Support your lower back through the movements that can make fishing harder.
A day of fishing can mean long periods of standing or sitting, repeated casting, bending, reaching and carrying gear. If those movements aggravate lower-back-related pain, the Elite Pro is designed to provide adjustable support while you fish, provided it remains comfortable and does not interfere with balance, breathing or normal movement.
Longer sessions
Support and compression for long periods of standing or sitting, which may help make a full session more manageable when lower-back-related pain is getting in the way.
Casting and reeling
Choose a support level that helps your lower back feel supported while still allowing comfortable casting, retrieving and rod movement.
Boat and shore fishing
Change the support level to suit different fishing positions and movement demands on the boat or shore, without unnecessarily restricting balance or reach.
Tackle and gear handling
Use the support level that feels appropriate when moving rods, tackle boxes, coolers and other gear before and after the session.
Your back does not always need the same level of support.
That is the advantage of the Elite Pro. A fixed-support brace gives you one setup. The Elite Pro includes three interchangeable rear support systems, letting you move from greater flexibility to firmer support without replacing the brace. Adjustable compression straps then let you fine-tune the fit and compression around your lower back.
Test the fit before casting.
Check the brace before beginning. You should be able to cast, reel, bend, reach, maintain balance and breathe normally.
Set it before fishing
Recheck it during the session
Support your back. Keep fishing.
Change the support as your needs change, whether you fish from a boat, shore, estuary, freshwater location or pier.
Back pain, fishing and the Elite Pro.
Can wearing the Elite Pro help when lower back pain is making fishing harder?
It may help. The Elite Pro is designed to support the lower back and help relieve lower-back-related pain. It can be worn while fishing when it remains comfortable and does not restrict casting, reeling, bending, breathing, balance or safe movement.
Why choose the Elite Pro instead of a basic fixed-support back brace?
Because you are not locked into one support setup. The Elite Pro includes Light, Medium and Maximum interchangeable support systems, plus adjustable compression. You can change from more flexible to firmer support and then fine-tune the compression to suit your fit and needs.
Which support level is best for fishing?
Light support provides the most flexibility. Medium support may suit people wanting more firmness. Maximum support is more rigid and should not be used if it limits casting, reaching, balance or normal movement.
Does a back brace replace safe fishing or boat practices?
No. It does not replace a personal flotation device, stable footing, safe lifting, suitable equipment, sensible technique or professional medical advice.
Lower back pain? Choose support you can change.
The Elite Pro is designed to support the lower back and help relieve lower-back-related pain. Unlike a basic fixed-support brace, every Elite Pro includes Light, Medium and Maximum interchangeable support systems plus adjustable compression, with nine sizes from Small through to 6XL.
The Elite Pro is an optional personal back-support product. It does not replace a personal flotation device, safe boat or shore practices, stable footing, correct lifting technique, suitable equipment or professional medical advice. Stop using the brace if it causes pain, numbness, tingling, breathing restriction or interferes with balance or normal movement.
