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.

Does not include rod belt
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, ôquick-releaseö nylon buckles or adjusters. Included is a mesh bag with hanging grommets for easy rinsing and storage of the Maxforce harness.

Makes an Excellent pair to the Aftco Fighting Belt. Built strong and still comfortable with the mesh pad. Fits a wide range of people and easy to adjust so you can share with anglers

Looks well made and sturdy. Feels comfortable. Looking forward to using it. Wish it had a quick snap buckle to make it easier to put on more quickly.

These are really comfortable and fit well. Bought 2 in case of two fish at once or the ability to swap out to another fisherman. Quick on and off a real plus. Highly recommend!

What a difference
April 29, 2020
I will never try to fight a 200lbs YFT without this harness. I used it with the Clarion fishing belt and worked really well. If you are a first time user of this harness I recommend to spend few minutes watching the tutorial videos at TD website from Greg Stotesbury from AFTCO explaining how to use this harness, what part of your body will fight the fish, etc.
Pros
  • Well well made. Great quality and the features that this harness carries are thought and design by season anglers. If you go on a trip it is easy to pack. Good price for what are you getting.
Cons
  • None

Love this harness. So comfortable, feels like you are one with the rod and reel when strapped up!
Pros
  • Very comfortable
Cons
  • The strap doesn?t have a buckle so I had to tie a big knot in it and then wrap it around to make it fit. I am size 34 waist and I believe you have to be 40+ waist to use it without rigging it like I did

Greets, Does it work upside down? No wish to sit on anything. Don't want a low gimble height. Need to be able to vertically lift heavy conger, ling and big cod (+2lb lead) from 200ft. Rgds. Malcolm
1 Answers
Malcolm. The harness does not work upside down. We suggest going with another harness. Take a look at BRD-0016, the Braid Marlin harness as an example. You attach your fighting belt and can adjust its height. Meanwhile, he harness is around the small of your back and not in your way.

Are there different sizes to this harness? I have a 32-34 inch waist and have had harnesses before that did not fit.
1 Answers
This harness only comes in one size. It is adjustable so fit should be fine. Braid makes harnesses that are sized, if you want to take at those.
