Aftco Bottoms

As Head of Product for the American Fishing Tackle Company for over 7 years, I managed a very small, highly efficient team. We achieved amazing revenue growth and increased brand recognition in a very competitive outdoor market segment. I did all the product design, sportswear garment prints and graphics and all trim design, package design and graphics - including all consumer facing icons, logos and nomenclature. As a team we strategized line planning, developed and produced an innovative multi-award winning product line three years in a row. I am very proud to have been part of an exciting chapter of growth for the brand. Thank you to the Shedd family for believing in me, and for the amazing 60 years of work they have done in conservation and protection of the fishing resource.

In 2018 AFTCO proved to have the best fishing rain gear with our Hydronaut Waterproof System. We took the “staying dry” concept a step further this year with the Overboard Submersible Fishing Shorts.   AFTCO was awarded the Best of Category for Technical apparel warm weather with the industry’s first ever pair of submersible pocket fishing shorts. Overboard features an integrated waterproof / submersible roll-top pocket. Built to keep your valuables safe whether you are in or on the water, AFTCO's new patented Overboard fishing shorts were developed to push the boundaries of technical fishing clothing innovation. Overboard is packed to the gills with features like AFLITE ultralight fabric, AFLEX 4-way stretch, AFGUARD stain resistance, Cordura® lined pliers pocket, 21" outseam, 10" inseam and an active fit.
