AFTCO Maxforce™ AFH-1 Stand Up Harness
For fighting big game fish stand-up style, the AFTCO Maxforce™ is the ultimate
in harness design for 30-130lb tackle. 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.
The AFTCO Maxforce Harness™ features a super-comfort molded, closed-cell EVA foam padding, with a tough, waterproof
lycra polyester cover. The harness 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.
The AFTCO Maxforce™ Harness includes both stainless “cross lock” snaps and “quick release” hooks for securing
harness to reel lugs. The self-adjusting reel attachment straps prevent the harness from riding up, and provide the
best pulling angle for maximum leverage. Stainless D-rings for drop straps are double-sewn and cross-stitched into
the harness, and a molded rubber safety/grab handle is also double-stainless riveted and box-stitched into the back
of the belt. All of the ultra heavy duty nylon web straps feature top quality, corrosion proof, “quick-release”
nylon buckles or adjusters. Included is a mesh bag with hanging grommets for easy rinsing and storage of the
Maxforce harness.

AFTCO Mfg. Co., Inc. has just introduced their new line of gold anodized aluminum fighting belts in
3 different sizes to fit tackle from 20-130lb test.
All of AFTCO’s new Fighting Belts are constructed from thick and durable stamped marine-grade aluminum plate with a
gold anodized, corrosion resistant finish with laser-etched AFTCO logo. The belts feature a super-durable,
co-molded, closed-cell polyethylene pad which is co-molded right to the aluminum plate. The waterproof pad is
textured to eliminate slippage on the thighs, and vented for comfort during long stand-up battles.
The AFTCO Fighting Belts have a unique, removable gimbal pocket which allows the versatile stainless gimbal-pin to
be changed from vertical to horizontal positions, or completely removed from the belt. The rugged gimbal pocket is
made from molded, glass-filled nylon composite, with stainless steel fasteners. A handy Allen wrench is included
for easy gimbal-pin changes.
AFTCO’s exclusive attaching clips allow the 2” nylon-web belt to be easily un-clipped at the corners of the plate
or at the back of the adjustable belt. This gives the angler or crew 3 easy ways to put the belt on in the heat of
the battle. All of the AFTCO Fighting Belts are adjustable to fit waist sizes from 28” to over 50”, and they all
float!

is designed for 50-80lb tackle, and the AFB-3 “Alijos” is designed for 20-50lb tackle.
