This was a major puller for me... Only Cultiva gloves are available here in SA, and they are horrifically priced, and fall apart taking them out of the packaging, so don't really have any options to actually try any other fishing specific gloves, and I too have pretty big mitts... Bike shops means you can try before you buy... I wasn't keen to shell out a huge chunk of change on a pair of gloves online that in the end might not fit...

Travis Heaps:
I'm another one for the Mountain Bike gloves.  Tried some Jigging Master ones on a trip over the weekend and was getting some rub along the ridge of my palm which was uncomforatble, didn't ever get that with the Troy Lee XC mtb glove.

Mike_Tan:
The no.1 killer of gloves is a slipping drag so make sure your drag is properly tightened before making a cast. Have ruin a few when I absent mindedly made a hard cast and the drag slipped. The finger guards that I use for surf fishing are cheap and lasts forever too. Give those a try if you really can't find decent gloves that fit.

Scott Williams:
What would you expect to pay for a decent pair of Mountain Biking Gloves?

Scott.

Got my Fox Inclines at around sgd$30... Not sure if the prices have gone up because I never had to replace them since buying them eons ago
