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.
The new AFTCO “Arena” fighting rod belt is perfect for 12-lb to 30-lb tackle use while fighting smaller fish, including smaller billfish, tuna, king mackerel and other sub-100lb gamefish on relatively light tackle.
The AFTCO Maxforce II Shoulder Harness is the perfect choice for stand-up battles when using lighter tackle applications up to and including 50-lb. test line.
The Maxforce XH, the newest addition to the line of AFTCO Maxforce harnesses, is 20% larger than the Maxforce I and will accommodate waist sizes up to 28"-50" plus inches.
The Vallarta fighting belt supports a 20% larger pad and plate than the Clarion Fighting Belt. This is the ideal belt for fighting king-size game fish like monster blue marlin, black marlin, and giant tunas.
