When you're in the chair locked into a battle with a big fish, your gear has to be an extension of you — no distractions, no discomfort, just pure focus on the fight. That's why this month's Tackle of the Month is the AFTCO Solmar Gloves — designed to give serious anglers the edge when it matters most.
One of the biggest standouts with the Solmar Gloves is the open fingertip design. It might seem like a small detail, but it makes a massive difference. With your fingertips exposed, you can feel every ounce of tension you’re putting on the fish. That kind of sensitivity lets you react faster, stay in better control, and manage your line with a level of precision that's nearly impossible in full-finger gloves.
Another feature that sets these gloves apart is the elastic slip-on design. Instead of fumbling with velcro like you do with most other gloves, the Solmar slides right on — fast and easy — even when you’re jumping into the chair in a hurry. No wasted seconds, no messing with sticky straps, just a clean fit that’s ready when you are.
Finally — and if you’ve ever spent hours on the rod, you’ll appreciate this — there are no seams rubbing on your palm. AFTCO designed the Solmar with seamless palm construction to prevent blisters and hot spots, so you can stay locked into long fights without your hands giving out before the fish does.
Built for durability, comfort, and control, the AFTCO Solmar Gloves are made to perform under the toughest conditions — right where it matters most: in the chair.
