The AFTCO Wire Max Saltwater Gloves were developed with the expertise of Capt. Peter B. Wright, a world-renowned big-game captain, author, and member of the IGFA Hall of Fame. They are the ideal gloves for handling large fish. Closed-cell EVA foam with extremely durable Armortex® protects the palm, fingers, and thumb when handling monofilament, wire, or cable leaders. A Tacky-Grip palm and Spandura® forchettes ensure good flexibility, while mesh with a foam backing keeps the fingers cool and protected. A wraparound neoprene strap with a Velcro® closure over the woven cuff ensures a secure fit and prevents the leader from snagging.
