About AFTCO

Built for Anglers Since 1958

AFTCO, the American Fishing Tackle Company, was founded in 1958 with a simple goal: build better products for anglers.

Today, AFTCO creates fishing apparel and gear designed for life on the water. From performance fishing shirts and sun protection clothing to fishing shorts, outerwear and accessories, our products are built to help anglers stay comfortable and focused in changing conditions.

Fishing Is in Our DNA

AFTCO has a long history of innovation in fishing. The brand is known for developing products that combine practical design, performance and durability for serious anglers.

Our philosophy is simple:

Make gear that works. Make it last. Keep anglers fishing.

Any Fish. Any Water.

Whether you're chasing bass in freshwater, fishing offshore, or spending a day on the coast, AFTCO makes apparel and gear for the conditions anglers face on the water.

We design for the sun, wind, rain, cold and long days outside—because the best fishing gear should never get in the way of the experience.

Protecting the Future of Fishing

Fishing depends on healthy waters and healthy fisheries. Conservation has been an important part of AFTCO's identity for decades, and we continue to support efforts that help protect fisheries and the waters anglers love.

AFTCO — Any Fish, Any Water.
