With this group of photos I want to mention a couple of products we had the opportunity to use last trip that survived our closest scrutiny with flying colors. Along with the tags AFTCO donated to the project, the guys sent some of the new AFTCO shorts and a couple of AFTCO harnesses for us to ?test?. As far as the harness is concerned, most long range anglers probably know of our long time preference for the OTR style harness that we have supported for many years. The new AFTCO harness, in addition to having all the features we like so much in the OTR, has an additional, highly useful feature that no other harness boasts ? a well attached, durable handle on the back. Now most anglers probably wouldn?t give this feature much thought, but I can?t tell you how many combined hours we have spent with our hands clinched on the back of angler?s harnesses or holding on to the side straps as an he/she negotiates a pitching rolling deck with an angry giant game fish pulling twenty five or more pounds of drag on the other end. For safety, security, and functionality, the AFTCO harness presently can not be beat. It is another perfect example of the fact that the guys designing AFTCO fishing products are actual fishermen with specific knowledge of the long range industry. If you are in the market for a new harness, we highly recommend AFTCO model if it provides the correct fit for you.

Finally, the new AFTCO shorts, while initially met with skepticism by our entire, FISHWORKS loyal crew, were worn throughout the voyage in comfort. They are excellent if the style is to your liking and will, in line with all AFTCO products, hold up to the rigors of offshore fishing environment.
Enjoy today?s photos and look forward to plenty more.
