Lifestyle Apparel for Men
Made From Coconuts & Recycled Polyester
Coconuts are an important staple in the tropics. Found near some of the world’s best fishing waters, they’re commonly harvested for food and used in cosmetic and medical products. Once harvested, the coconuts are often discarded in landfills. The boardshorts are made with Cocotex® fabric — an amazing performance polyester infused with activated charcoal from repurposed coconuts. This combination repels water, resists odor, and dries ultra-fast.

Lifestyle Apparel for Women
Women's Reaper Windproof
The womens Reaper windproof is constructed from a durable stretch ripstop softshell fabric that has a DWR finish and keeps the windchill out. It has a built-in face mask that is lined with our ultra-warm Hexatron™ fleece material. Laser-cut ventilation in the underarm area and an easy-access side zipper complete the features. For the angler in search of a comfortable super warm softshell that provides wind protection, the AFTCO Reaper Windproof is the versatile piece that checks all the boxes.
Tackle Bag 35
Not just another fishing tackle bag. The Tackle Bag 35, made of 600D polyester, utilizes all available space to provide the angler with a plethora of different storage configurations in a single bag. With capabilities to hold up to six 3500-size boxes, there’s still room for soft plastics, powerbait jars, pliers, leaders, and two fishing rods with the built-in rod sleeves. A clear front pouch gives eyesight for quick items and nylon zippers provide durability since they won’t rust.
Harvest Bag
When harvesting fish it’s critical to bring the temperature of the fish down for many reasons. As anglers, we at AFTCO have used many styles of bags when harvesting fish and found several areas for improvement. For example, zippers fail and cleaning is a hassle. The AFTCO Harvest Bag solves these problems and more. A roll-down style closure with compression straps keeps the cold in and a removable inner liner makes cleanup a breeze. When sushi is on your mind, this bag must be on your boat.
Crossbreed Fishing Lure
The Blue Fever Crossbreed is designed for fishing on the fall and on the retrieve. It will get bites on the sink with its erratic and fluttering action from the weighted center section that allows the lure to stabilize going from a fast fall to a slow fall back to a fast fall all on the same drop. The straight retrieve swims with more erratic action that fish can’t deny. Crossbreed comes in 4 sizes which helps match the bait size that the fish are feeding on.
Ankle Deck Boots
Meet AFTCOs new deck boot that was designed from the ground up to fulfill the high demands of our pro team, guides, and customers. A heightened level of comfort is provided by a neoprene inner liner that is eco-friendly, hypo-allergenic, quick drying, and fully flexible. Paired with a custom compression-molded anti-microbial insole that offers the proper amount of cushion, rebound, and support season over season.
Ike Jime Spike
Another component to the Ike Jime process, the AFTCO Ike Jime spike joins the already released Circuit Breaker Ike Jime wire. Ike Jime is the process used to achieve the best quality seafood for your dinner table. The first step is a brain spike to kill the fish quickly and ethically before it can experience stress and suffocation. The AFTCO spike is the right tool for the job. Made of marine grade 316 stainless steel, the 4-inch spike is perfect for gamefish of all sizes and will not rust.

Paralyzing the fish by destroying the spinal cord (shinkei jime) elevates the quality further. Until now, professional ike jime tools have been unavailable in the West. The Circuit Breaker is specially designed to destroy the full length of a fish’s spinal cord and paralyze the fish completely. The memory-resistant wire will not bend or kink even after repeated use.
