popping/jigging gloves - preferences

[Brandon Khoo]

I much prefer the shorter style gloves for popping and jigging although it appears to me that the longer style gloves (which wrap around the wrist) are more popular wiht anglers. I find that the longer gloves are a little more stable and hence provide a better grip but on the other hand, I find them a real pain to put on and take off.

Glove always get drenched when you're fishing and I don't find it pleasant wearing a wet glove so I tend to take the off at every opportunity. I always carry a few pairs but they all end up wet anyway.

My favourite gloves are the Shout gloves. they're light and comfortable and remind me of my golf glove!  .

I was wondering what gloves people preferred and why.

 I actually asked cam about his Smith Camo's on Sunday as I had tried some at JT on Saturday, as I have only the Bluefever [2 x 3/4 and 3 x 1/2 finger] part timers. Never liked wearing gloves but I see the necessity.
Whats classed the shorter or longer, is the pic short or long.
 This topic is perfect timing for me once again.

[Greg Burt]

 Bingo!, I presume these gloves are the long wrist version, I had only seen the short wrist before.

Sorry to bring this brand up Brandon but I reckon Mr. Suzuki makes the best.
Smith and Shout are both good after Fisherman.

Yep, agree with that.

Greg, those gloves look more like cold weather hunting gloves!

 Hi Luke,
The bottom ones are supposed to be English fishing gloves!
 I presume the Shout ones are short wrist and the Fisherman long wrist, I am trying to get a perspective as I have only ever seen what I 'think' are the short ones.

   that's no worries - Mr Suzuki has caught more fish than I have dreamt about.

I have nothing against Fisherman and I really like their accessories. I just think their rods are too expensive. I have their handles on all my Stellas, not to mention a heap of their poppers. That said, I don't like their gloves as I find them too long.

The best pair of popping gloves I have are a pair which weren't even made to be popping gloves. they are a pair of Oakley gloves which I picked up from overseas (i don't know what they were designed for) and have the best grip I've found. Wish I could find another pair.

Brandon,

They also make a short version which i use.

Do you find that version too short as well?

[Cam Foley]

Are the Oakley gloves for mountain bikeing maybe or maybe not.

[Brandon Khoo]

Luke - I've never seen the short ones. Assuming they are the same quality as the long ones, they would be terrific gloves.

Cam - I think you're right - they could be but as I have never done any mountain bking, I can't say for sure. All I can say is that they are really good for popping!

Greg - I'll get my own back one day for that analogy with Shultz!!     

[Neil Griffiths]

Yep, really short, just fit over wrist. Sometimes forget they're on, expensive though, as always.

Neil,

Do you stock Fisherman gloves?

If so, could you please post some info?

[Greg Burt]

Luke,
 I have noticed on your picks you wear basically three sets of gloves, mainly the blue, long and short [Fisherman I presume]. Can you give us a run down on the benefits, if any, on both , IE do the long wrist gloves give noticeable support, comfort or benefits, and your personal preference.
 I haven't used gloves enough to form any opinion, and if anything I've shied away from them, but things are changing.

Cam,
 you must be using yours a fair bit to wear a hole in them in five months,
what benefits have you got from them?.
