BF MAXFLOW TM LIGHTWEIGHT SUN PROTECTION CLEAN and GREEN FADE RESISTANT

Bigfish Gear is a fishing apparel company based in Darwin,
Northern Territory, Australia. The company was born through
the need for effective, cool, sun protective gear that also
looks great. The directors of “Bigfish” are avid anglers and
have generated their gear due to their interest in fishing and
the outdoors. They compete in regular fishing tournaments
and when not at work are out fishing
in their apparel. We can honestly
state the Bigfish range is the
best fishing gear you’ll wear.
“
After wearing many of these shirts out
fishing for a few years now, I must admit they
are the best sun protection shirts I’ve ever worn.
They really are an outstanding product.

Created by a team of avid anglers from
down under, Bigfish Gear offers functional and
effective fishing shirts that could be set to take
the angling world by storm.

Tackle Trade World 2015

All our outdoor garments are made from the
highest quality, Australian knitted polyester.
This “BF Maxflow TM ” material is designed
for the tropics (we’d know, they’ve been
extensively tested in the tropics) and is
incredibly soft to feel, unbelievably cool,
durable, UPF 50 and lightweight.
Our material is much cooler than cotton,
will not fade or shrink like cotton, does not
require ironing and is far more durable. The
difference between a great looking shirt and
a great wearing shirt is the quality of fabric
and we proudly stand by (or in) ours hour
after hour, cast after cast. Bigfish produces
a range of shirts that not only look great,
but our customers want to wear for their
comfort, style and of course sun protection.

AMERICAN PRIDE
The American Pride range is available in 3 reverse colours
with a large flag draped across your shoulder and sleeve.
A simple, striking, functional shirt that features either the
iconic Largemouth Bass or Sailfish. These shirts really
set the tone for a great angling
adventure on home soil.

THE SOFTEST, COOLEST
SHIRTS YOU WILL WEAR...
“BF Maxflow TM ” is an Australian knitted material and is incredibly cool, the inner knit
is tight and smooth whilst the outer knit is designed to “wick” away perspiration.
The gentlest breeze will immediately give you an “air conditioned” effect. It dries
exceptionally quick whilst retaining it’s “breathability”. Not only is the material soft
and cool, it’s incredibly durable. Unlike cotton that breaks down as you wash it, 100%
polyester is far more durable and will retain it’s UPF factor for much, much longer.

SILVER KINGS

are a perfect addition to your next sojourn to the bridges,
beaches or flats. The “Silver Kings” range feature a

What is UPF SUN
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING?
Sun Protective Clothing is specifically designed to block the sun’s
harmful UV radiation from damaging the skin (widely known as UVA/
UVB/UVC rays). Exposure to such UV radiation can not only cause
sunburn, but also long lasting damage resulting in premature skin
aging and/or skin cancer. Consumers should only consider buying a
UV garment that has a high UPF rating (Ultraviolet Protection Factor)
and moreover, from a reputable company and/or manufacturer that
promotes the UPF rating system.

BLUEWATER LABEL
Grab the best bluewater predators and pack them all into
one label, that’s what we have done for the new “Bluewater”
shirt. Fantastic illustrations and a must have addition for
your next trip out in the bluewater! PS check out the video
on our website on how we produced
this incredible illustration.

ROOSTERFISH
The “Roosterfish” is held in high regard by anglers
worldwide, it’s distinctive dorsal fin and dark curved
bands give this fish a distinctive appearance. Such was
the inspiration for the “Roosterfish” shirt. Clean colours,
dark bands and a great illustration of “rooster’s on the
hunt” make this shirt a one of a kind and a must have for
the avid “rooster” angler.

The silvery scales and the distinctive black stripes of the
snook wrap from the sleeve up the shoulder to the neck
line. A large Snook is poised to strike on the back and the
combination really sets the scene for where you’d wear
this shirt. Avid Snook anglers really can’t be without this
performance shirt..

MAHI MAHI
Distinctive, dynamic, exciting, hard fighting and acrobatic
specialists, “Mahi Mahi” and are great pelagic fish to target
and we thought we’d match the shirt to the fish. Green and
gold with electric blue dots this shirt is as vibrant as the
mahi mahi. If you like targeting these oceanic speedsters
then you got to get yourself one of these!

shallow water scene with a large Snook about to engulf
a prawn style lure. The colour combination as well as the
above/below water style is amazingly real and just looking

for the Snook enthusiast.

YOU SURE
THEY' RE NOT HOT?
This is probably the most frequently asked question. The answer is no, they
are certainly not hot. In fact, the fabric was originally designed for Australia’s
blistering heat. The material is similar to that worn by long-distance bike
riders and other elite athletes. While they cover more of the body, they are
made of a relatively tightly-woven, lightweight and cool material. Even the
American Academy of Dermatology states that “tightly-woven clothing
reflects heat and helps to keep you feeling cool.”

JACK CREVALLE
“Jacks” are bold yet simple, a no nonsense but voracious
predator that prey inshore on hapless baitfish from the
backcountry to the beaches. The “Jack Crevalle” shirt
follows in the same vein with simple black white and yellow
panels and bold text. When chasing “Jacks” from the surf,
seawall or flats you have to wear one of these to protect you
from the sun and keep you cool at the same time.
CODE COLOUR SIZE
JKCRCL Black/Yellow/White XS-3XL
MUSKIE SCALES
“Muskie Scales” is the next installment in the scales range
of Bigfish Gear. Their scale pattern starts at the cuffs and
wraps up over the shoulder. A pair of large muskie on the
hunt are featured on the front and back. If you spend long
hours on the water chasing these amazing fish then you
need this piece of gear to protect you from the sun and
keep you cool at the same time.

MUSKIE
“Muskie” have a ferocious appetite and competitive attitude
which makes them a perfect freshwater target species, so

the outer weed edges looking for their next meal. The
colours of their weedy environment combined with their
distinctive scale pattern works incredibly well. If you’re a
