“As the director of Marlin University, I’ve found theMateSaver®andAnglrSavr® to be invaluable teaching tools for my students. Not only do I feel comfortable letting first-time anglers wire sailfish and white marlin with the harness, but the safety aspect for even professional mates cannot be debated. One of my students went on to mate in Madeira this summer and wired his first blue, a 700-pounder, with the aid of the MateSaver®. Every boat that pursues billfish of any sizes should have one of these devices onboard.”
Extreme sport (also called action sport and adventure sport) is a media term for certain activities perceived as having a high level of inherent danger or difficulty and often involving speed, height, a high level of physical exertion, and highly specialized gear or spectacular stunts.[1] - Wikipedia The Free Encyclopedia
Q: What sets GameFace Gear apart from other harnesses on the market today?
A: GameFace Gear is the only manufacturer of blue water harnesses that provides a restraining ring. The purpose of the restraining ring is to have an attachment point of certifiable strength. The restraining ring when properly tethered, will keep the crew or the angler connected to the boat. That second is crucial in extreme encounters.
The most recent footage of home videos showing mates and anglers violently pulled into the water is a wake up call to all of us who are involved with wiring fish or stand-up fishing and angling from a fighting chair. The ever-present danger of being pulled overboard as a mate and angler is now a reality. Safety in the cockpit whether you are crew or an angler is now available with all GameFace Gear harnesses (with the exception of Anglr Belt).
"Finally there is a harness available to address the needs of kids and lady anglers! Thank you for making it possible for us to effectively fight big fish." - Joan M. Vernon, SPORTING TRADITIONS

Wayne Bisbee of The World Billfish Series: “I am very familiar with your MateSaver® and AnglrSavr® and amongst those who think they’re awesome products. I grew up in Cabo watching sailfish and marlin of all sizes take the local (usually 125 lb. +/-) young mates for an unexpected swim.”
"My mate Eddie Barnes weighs 110 lbs. - my leader is 400 lbs. Without theMateSaver®, I'm afraid he'll go over the transom and so is he. But, with the MateSaver® he can hold on and I can breathe easier. It's safety firston the Captain Hook." - Captain Ron Hamlin
