Enter to Win an AFTCO Tackle Package!

Family owned and operated, the American Fishing Tackle Company (AFTCO)

Family owned and operated, the American Fishing Tackle Company (AFTCO) represents unparalleled quality, performance, and reliability when it counts most. Worn across the globe, AFTCO fishing clothing is designed to handle the harshest elements.

For those of you that need a bag that holds a lot of tackle. The ATB37 holds four 3700-sized boxes in the main compartment, and if that isn't enough, both side pockets are large enough to hold an additional 3700 giving you a total of six 3700 box locations. The right side pocket has built in strapping for your Pliers, Scissors and Fish Spike. There are two smaller pockets on the front of the bag, one with built in envelope pockets perfect for keeping hooks organized and the second water-resistant pocket will hold your wallet, phone, and keys. This bag is built out of a durable 600D recycled polyester that includes a Tarpaulin seam-sealed base which helps keep water out of the bottom of the bag. It also features nylon zippers and an adjustable shoulder strap. Included D rings on the back of the bag allow you to secure it on a tackle rack, keeping it secure in rough water conditions.

Fish behavior and fishing conditions are constantly changing. Normally, when the water is on the warmer side, fish will key in on faster moving lures, like the Swimmer. When the water is colder, move to a slower moving lure, like the Hybrid. If the fish are in deeper water, you will need to use a faster sinking lure, like the Crossbreed.

This lure is designed to cast and retrieve, however it's also a great trolling lure. Weighted perfectly for long distance casts, let it sink to the desired depth and get cranking. The tight side-to-side action delivers strikes you’ll never forget. If the fish are being picky, working the Digger like a jerkbait will entice reaction bites. Built with oversized split rings and 4x hooks.

This unique sub-surface bait was designed to be super easy to fish. The Swimmer can be fished in open water, but it is best fished around submerged structure or vegetation. Just cast and retrieve and the lure does all the work. With its side-to-side swimming action and beautiful color options, all of your favorite pelagic predators will not be able to resist. There are two sizes to choose from: fish the smaller size for quantity, and the larger size for quality. These baits are rigged to fish straight out of the box, so there's no need to swap out the split rings or the hook.

This is a great lure for simply casting and cranking in. Built to cast long distances, the lure weight was increased to the max without sacrificing action. With the interior magnetic weight transfer, the weight disengages and pushes towards the tail for improved aerodynamic qualities, allowing you to reach fish that are normally out of casting range. Once the lure hits the water, the weight reengages, delivering proper balance for optimal action. If the fish are being picky, try cranking fast a few times, then pause. Keep repeating that pattern, as it will often trigger a bite. Built with top-of-the-line hooks and split rings.

An updated design to the popular lead-style jig. Utilizing ABS material to make the body results in perfect edges. To enhance the lure's action, custom weights were added inside. This helps with casting distance and ensures the lure swims correctly. There's no need to swap out the heavy-duty treble hook either, as it's built to hold up to fish after fish. There are two ways to fish this lure: simply cast and crank it in just below the surface, or cast it out, let it sink to the desired depth, and wind in. It's best fished around submerged structure or active schools of baitfish.

These dense, low-profile lures can be fished two ways. The Crossbreed excels when fishing in open water by casting it out and steadily retrieving it in. It can also be fished as a slow-pitch lure with its center-weighted design. During the sink, this lure will fall erratically and will get bit on the drop just as often as it draws strikes on the retrieve.

Designed to catch on the fall and the retrieve, it will attract bites on the fall thanks to an erratic action similar to a panicked baitfish. Since it is weighted toward the center, the lure stabilizes during its descent, going from fast to slow, to fast again, all on the same drop. This pattern drives fish absolutely crazy. The straight retrieve technique elicits a more natural swimming action. Built with oversized 4x trebles, the Crossbreed is ready to fish straight out of the box and will catch with ease, cast after cast. Available in four sizes to match the hatch.
