Aftco Molded, Glass- filled Polypropylene Fish Bat AFTCO’s new FB-2 Fish Bat is replacing the old FB-1. The FB-2 is made of super-strong, molded, glass- filled polypropylene. The new FB-2 is 19 inches long and 2 _ inches wide with a special triangular shape that will not roll around on the deck of a rocking boat. The handle has an aggressive, molded-in, textured grip for non-slip performance with wet or slimy hands. It is totally waterproof and corrosion proof, will not scratch or mar decks or gelcoat, and it floats! There is a braided rope safety lanyard and a special handle hook to allow the fish bat to be hung from a railing or ladder. It is slightly heavier than the discontinued, aluminum FB-1 at 1.3 pounds, and it hits very hard!
Aftco Polyester Mesh Bait Nets The woven polyester net — a commercial-grade, knotless, bait-friendly mesh, designed to last for many seasons of heavy use — is the perfect choice for more delicate baits like anchovies, menhaden and sardines. The D-shaped stainless steel net hoops, available in 8 and 10-inch widths, allow for easy capture of the liveliest baits because they’ll reach into the corners of the bait well. The net attaches to the net hoops with a special PVC coil that not only eliminates abrasion to the netting, but minimizes damage to baits during the scooping process, as well as protects the inside of the tank from being scratched or chipped by the stainless hoop. AFTCO Bait Nets feature Gold anodized aluminum handles, with black vinyl grips.
