The Alijos™ fighting belt is designed for use with 20-lb. to 50-lb. lines and is the perfect “day belt” for stand-up tussles with sailfish, Mahi mahi, kingfish, small tuna, yellow tail and other smaller to medium-sized game fish. Stamped from pure marine grade gold anodized aluminium with a super-comfortable over-moulded, closed cell polyurethane pad, the Alijos™ accommodates the same “Quick Clip” nylon straps as the larger AFTCO fighting belts. The stainless steel gimbal cross pin is removable, but unique is the thermal-formed nylon liner inside the aluminium gimbal pocket that helps resist scarring. The Alijos™ is lightweight and easy to wear, yet offers the same heavy-duty features of the larger AFTCO fighting belts.

Features:

• Super thick, closed-cell EVA foam back pad is moulded on backside with vent slots and contours engineered for superior comfort, and to help keep belt positioned properly across thighs for maximum fish-fighting leverage.
• Moulded from super-strong, glass-filled nylon, the gimbal pocket is contoured to quickly guide rod butts to an optimum fish-fighting position.
• Stainless steel gimbal pin can be positioned in gimbal pocket horizontally, vertically (or removed) by loosening backside nuts (with attached Allen wrench) and removing entire gimbal pocket to adjust pin orientation from behind pocket cup.
• Heavy-duty, yet lightweight stamped aluminium front plate is deeply anodized in a rich gold finish for extreme durability and corrosion resistance. The AFTCO logo is permanently laser etched into the anodized aluminium.
• Unique, super tough “Quick Clips” easily fit over fighting belt posts, and with a pull (to lock) or push (to release), quickly “snap” belt straps into or out of place.

With its advanced design, materials and comfort, the AFTCO Clarion™ is the ultimate fighting belt for big game fishing. The super-thick, closed-cell EVA foam back pad is engineered to maximize both comfort and leverage, so that when the belt is positioned relatively low across the thighs, the load is distributed evenly for maximum pull when fighting big fish stand-up style. Co-moulded to the foam back pad is a heavy-duty, yet lightweight gold-anodized, stamped aluminium front plate. Super durable, it features posts at each side that accept unique Quick Clips, which “snap” the belt straps (or optional drop straps) in place for quickly getting into or out of the belt.  Also featured is a super strong, moulded glass-filled nylon gimbal pocket that is engineered to quickly guide rod butts into an optimum fish-fighting position. The gimbal pocket’s stainless steel pin is adjustable for horizontal or vertical orientation. A perfect match for the AFTCO MAXFORCE harnesses, the Clarion™ measures 19 inches wide by 13 inches high, and if it falls overboard, it floats!

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.

For fighting big game fish stand-up style, the AFTCO MaxForce is the ultimate in harness design.

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.

Features:

• Moulded, double-riveted and box-stitched safety/grab handle with AFTCO logo.

carabiner clips provide a secure attachment to reel harness lugs. All of the nylon webbing straps are cross and box-stitched at the critical locations for extreme durability.
