TACKLE • DROP STRAPS, BELTS & HARNESSES AFTCO
Stand-Up Fish Fighting System
The Ultimate
STAND-UP Fish FIGHTING System
For fighting big gamefish stand-up style, the AFTCO MaxForce is the
ultimate in 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 Harness is completely synthetic and machine washable.

Used in place of belt straps, optional AFTCO Drop Straps with
“Quick Clips” attach to posts at each side of AFTCO Fighting
Belts. Swivel snap-clips at the opposite end of each strap
then attach to D-rings on any stand-up harness to complete
the fish-fighting system. Also included are optional swivel
snap-clips to substitute for the “Quick-Clips” so the straps
will fit any belt. Drop Straps are adjustable to customize the
position of fighting belts on the thigh for maximum leverage.

AFTCO’s belt and harness fish-fighting system should always be pre-adjusted to fit the angler before the battle
begins. The harness should be worn at the belt line, with the lower strap firmly under the angler’s seat. The fighting belt should be
suspended from the harness using drop straps, with the belt pad positioned comfortably across the thighs. Finally, the harness lug
straps should be adjusted so the reel is very close to the belly for maximum leverage in fighting big fish.
Stand-Up Tip
For big game anglers who practice stand-up fish fighting techniques, AFTCO has relied on innovative design, precision engineering,
the finest in materials, and exhaustive testing to create the Ultimate Stand-Up Fish Fighting System. Matching our AFTCO fighting
belts with our AFTCO MaxForce harnesses provides the maximum in comfort and leverage for battling big gamefish stand-up style.
