Can anyone recommend a good one? After my last time out I must of hit a wave a little to hard because my left lower back hurt for a week. It really never bothered me until the next day. So I'm curious as to who wears one and what brand you recommend. A friend of mine wears a weight lifters belt when he fishes and swears by it. I looked at some online at Dicks and they range from $30.00-180.00 Thanks

I have a built-in one in my Guidewear I use for long runs and have worn it when I'm out in my rain gear all day.   It's detachable, but I rarely have.   It helps quite a bit.

I wrote a short article a while back about fishing and lower back pain.  It may not fit all of your circumstances, but I rarely have back pain from a day on the water.  Yukon Jack can vouch that I battled it big time a few years back. Here's a link: http://lateral-lines.com/index.cfm/id/Fishing_with_Lower_Back_Pain

What can you tell me about the Egoscue Method in your article? I think I will also look into one of those braces.
I just added it up and I have been on the water fishing for 31 hours in the past 5 days, that is including one day off and my back is killing me. That may not be much for some people, but for me I over did it a little.

Every time I go on Clair, my back hurts the next day.

I've a bad back to begin with, but I'd like to fish it more, and be able to walk the next day or two.

I have several back braces, two from my Chiropractors, and one from the Pharmacy.  Never tried them on the water though.  I don't know if they'd make it better, or worse.
 
So much water.  So many lures.  So little time.

I've also heard to take a couple advil/aspirin/ibuprofen (pick your pleasure) before going out helps.  Monday was the first time I've forgotten to take some in the morning and I woke up Tuesday hurting.  St Clair really wasnt all that rough by comparison either.

I see the original link in my article is broken now.  The Egoscue clinic used to have pictures of some of their back exercises, but I guess they want to sell their classes and books and decided to take them down...  :-\'  Here's another link with  three key exercises that really helped me.  They are detailed in the book "The Egoscue Method of Health Through Motion" and Pete Egoscue's book "Pain Free."
