Aftco Fish Fighting Belts
AFTCO Clarion Fighting Belt – BELT1 – The Aftco Clarion is a great fish fighting belt for 80#+ class 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 while fighting a fish, the belt distributes the load evenly for maximum pull when fighting big fish stand-up style. It also FLOATS! Co-molded to the foam back pad is a heavy-duty, yet lightweight gold-anodized, stamped aluminum 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, molded 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 has a one size fits most adjustable waste belt, 28-50″.
AFTCO Socorro Fighting Belt – BELT2 – Featuring the same as the Clarion, the smaller Socorro is for 50-80# class tackle and also it can be positioned a bit higher across the thighs for maximum leverage. For stand-up fishing, this is the ideal rod belt for battling big strong gamefish like tuna, marlin, wahoo and big yellowtail. Accommodating “Quick Clip” straps, the Socorro rod belt also matches up well with Aftco MaxForce Harnesses.
The Socorro measures 15.5 inches wide by 10 inches tall and has a one size fits most adjustable waste belt, 28-50″.
AFTCO Vallarta Fighting Belt – BELTXL1 – The Vallarta fish fighting belt is Aftco’s largest belt which is ideal for fighting king-size game fish like monster marlin and giant tunas.

AFTCO Alijos Fighting Belt – BELT3 – The Aftco Alijos fish fighting belt is designed for 20-50# line class. It is the perfect “day belt” for stand-up fishing against sailfish, dolphin, kingfish, small tuna, yellowtail and other smaller to medium-sized gamefish. Stamped from pure marine grade gold anodized aluminum with a super-comfortable over-molded, closed cell polyurethane pad, the Alijos fishing belt 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 aluminum gimbal pocket that helps resist scarring.

Bonded, closed-cell polyurethane foam back pad is durable, comfortable and very light weight. The nylon belt easily adjusts to fit waist sizes from 28” – 50” with hook-and-loop fasteners.
