The Goldfinger Kite release clip is essentially the same clip as the Downrigger Clip,but has a gold titanium-nitride coated bail. Packaged with 5 Kite Hooks,the Kite Clip is designed for single or multiple clip use on kite fly-lines. For single use,this clip can simply be threaded on the fly-line. For multiple use,the clips slider-holes may be drilled out to allow swivels up to a #5 size to pass through (see Kite instructions). The enclosed nonabrasive kite hooks should be hooked on the fishing line,and the clip's bail should be passed through the hole opposite the hook. This allows the fishing line to be positioned properly in the Kite Clip once the bait is deployed.
For fighting big gamefish stand-up style, the AFTCO MaxForce is the ultimate in fishing harness design. The combination of lumbar and sit-in pads distributes the load below the hips, allowing the lower body to exert maximum pulling leverage with superb comfort under heavy drag loads. Featured is super-comfort molded, closed-cell EVA foam padding, with a tough, waterproof Lycra polyester cover. The liner is made from synthetic terry cloth, which not only wicks moisture, but has enough "tooth" to keep the harness from slipping around and chafing. Attached to the inside liner is a name and ID tag. Included is a mesh bag with grommets for rinsing the harness with fresh water and for easy storage. Otherwise, the AFTCO Maxforce Fighting Harness is completely synthetic and machine washable. Adjustable, one size fits most, and the perfect match for 30-lb. to 130-lb. tackle.
Goldfinger Outrigger release clips should be attached directly to the outrigger halyard without the use of swivels. The adjustment-slider end of the clip needs to be "up" towards the tip of the outrigger. For fixed position bait trolling,the fishing line should be twisted 5 to 10 times before hooking loop over the clip's bail. The line may also be passed over the bail without twists to allow for adjustment of baits or lures.
The perfect carry-on duffle bag for your airplane ventures. Whether carrying from the shoulder or with the hand, the AFTCO Overnight Bag comes equipped with a comfortable padded shoulder strap as well as oversized carrying handles. The 600D polyester can handle anything you (or the airport bag person) can throw at it.
The Overnight bag has plenty of pockets and room to carry everything for an overnight or weekend trip and provides amenities you wont find in similar bags. The central main pocket is lined for extra protection and very large for the size of the bag, meaning maximum storage for clothes and, dare we say it, fishing tackle. Single side pocket on the end fits an extra pair of shoes comfortably with more room for any small items.
Another feature that puts this bag in another category is the bottom pocket. This bottom pocket features a heavy duty buckle and zipper that encloses a spacious removable zipped lining that is perfect for dirty laundry or extra storage for shoes and hardgoods.
AFTCO Release fishing gloves are the ideal saltwater fishing glove for leadering line, grabbing the bill of a marlin, or just getting a grip on anything slippery. These are the pair of gloves you want for offshore fishing. Extra tacky Diamond-Grip polyurethane is directly injected onto nylon mesh palms for improved grip in wet conditions. Super tough Armortex® along outer hand and reinforced index finger maximizes protection when wrapping leader on a big fish offshore. The gloves vented foam-backed mesh keeps hands cool and protected, while Spandura® forchettes improve dexterity. Perforated neoprene cuff with Velcro® closure assures a secure fishing glove fit.
AFTCO guides and tip-tops are designed and built to provide consistently flawless performance over a lifetime of fishing. The bearings, pins, rollers, screws, etc we produce today, while continually undergoing improvement in features and materials, are designed to fit perfectly into their proper AFTCO guide or tip-top, regardless of its age.
You can order all replacement parts individually, but since the difference in size between like parts is small, they can easily be mistakenly interchanged. To avoid this, we suggest that you order complete assemblies, which include the roller, pin, bearing (with AFLON™ lifetime lubricant) and screw, already assembled.
