Back strain alleviating fishing pole harness with rotatably engaging pole receptacles

An apparatus wearable on a torso of a user to support an article, the apparatus comprising:

• a primary panel defined by an external side, an internal side having a contour substantially conforming to an abdominal side of the torso, and a central section interposed between a left peripheral section and a right peripheral section, the central section being further defined by a tapered top end apex, through which a center axis spanning a length of the central section extends, the primary panel integrally defining a plurality of open partially spherical recesses in a spaced relationship aligned in a single column along the central axis;
• a plurality of partial spherical sockets received within a corresponding one of the plurality of open partially spherical recesses and secured to the primary panel, the partial spherical socket defining a continuous spherical surface over its entirety and an opening receptive to receive at least a corresponding partial spherical joint member in a continuously free rotating frictional engagement with the continuous spherical surface of the partial spherical socket, the partial spherical joint member being coupled to the article;
• and
• at least one harness member cooperating with the primary panel to secure the primary panel to the torso and redirect horizontal forces against the primary panel to a vertical direction, the harness member being engageable to the left and right shoulders of the torso.
