AFTCO MaxForce XH Harness

Prepare to take on the ocean’s toughest predators with the AFTCO MaxForce XH Harness. Designed for anglers running 50-lb to unlimited tackle, this heavy-duty harness provides maximum leverage, comfort, and control during extended fights with big game species like marlin, swordfish, and giant tuna.

Engineered for Maximum Support and Comfort

The MaxForce XH is 20% larger than the original MaxForce I, with a wider spread between its removable lumbar and seat pads for improved stability. Extra-thick closed-cell EVA foam padding offers superior cushioning and back support, while the stretch CORDURA® polyester exterior enhances durability and flexibility in harsh saltwater environments.

Durable, Thoughtful Construction

Built with ultra-heavy nylon webbing and double box stitching, the harness stands up to the rigors of heavy offshore use. Self-adjusting reel attachment straps keep the harness from riding up, maintaining the optimal pulling angle for maximum power. Stainless steel D-rings are securely cross-stitched into the webbing for reliable drop strap connection and added strength.

Performance Features for Serious Anglers

A molded grab handle offers a firm, safe grip when maneuvering fish boatside, while the adjustable “one size fits most” design includes an extender strap for larger waist sizes. The liner, made from synthetic terry cloth, wicks moisture and prevents slippage, keeping you comfortable and secure during long, high-pressure fights offshore.

Ready for Any Challenge

Completely synthetic and machine washable, the MaxForce XH harness includes a mesh rinse bag for easy cleaning and storage. Whether you’re trolling the canyons or fighting record-class tuna, this harness provides the unmatched power, leverage, and comfort needed to go the distance.
