Casting gloves

--- Quote from: Ben Furness on March 04, 2011, 09:54:43 AM ---Can anyone recommend a glove brand for people with very large hands? My hands are wide as well as long and I am having some trouble finding any pairs that fit.
My last try was a pair of Fisherman gloves in size 3L (now in the for sale section!) which I was told is their largest.
My hands measure 31cm around the widest point (base of thumb) and the bottom of palm to the end of the middle finger is 22cm, any ideas?

Shimano, Daiwa and a few other brands have decent finger guards which I use for casting practice. They should fit your hands or will with some minor self modifications. Fisherman makes a "XLA" size, which is the largest they have. Is that what you tried?
Fox Incline gloves are also really nice gloves for fishing (affordable too!). Some of my Incline gloves have been with me since 2002 and they are still in pretty good shape. To be honest they last longer than many premium fishing gloves out there that cost 2-3 times more!
Ben Furness:
Thanks for all the replies, just how tight should a good fitting pair of gloves be? Should they be skin tight like a golf glove or have a little bit more room to move in them?
Andre van Wyk:
ANother vote for inclines... I'm HARD on gloves, and my pair have been with me for 3 years now...
Ben I like my gloves as tight as possible without being constrictuing of course.... I like them to fit like a second skin and be lightweight... I don't like the heavy weight gloves that some brands offer...
I have a pair of Pelagic gloves I use for wire work and grabbing fish if needs be, and other types of fishing, but for jigging and casting, I prefer as light as possible, with a good fit...
Mark Harris:
Sounds like a great recommendation on the Fox Inclines. I will look at those myself.
I go through premium gloves far too quickly for the daft money they cost. Currently have Smith, Fisherman and Zenaq gloves all in various stages of falling to pieces.
Fabio Ward:
I just ordered a large pair of fisherman gloves, am thinking now they might be to small. Would anyone know how the sizes compare to the captiva gloves?
