Casting/Jigging & General Fish Handling Gloves
November 28, 2008, 12:52:46 PM
Hey guys,
First of all, do they really make a difference?? I've never used them before but am interested.
What are my options when considering gloves for all round purpose?? What is everyone else using?
Cheers

huge difference - don't go popping without gloves.
I use a few brands which i find very good but tend to use Fisherman these days. The Smith ones are good too and I like the Shout ones in summer.

Fisherman,Smith and Shout seem like top brands, am i right? What sorta price are you looking at when buying gloves? Advantages or disadvantages using gloves?

yes, top brands. Range in price probably from about $75 upwards
heavy braid can do terrible things to bare hands - that'e enough of a disadvantage on its own to warrant gloves

I use Fisherman gloves - strong but well ventilated. I had to import them from USA (current cost USD57). Have not found any disadvantages when popping or jigging and would hate to try either without gloves!

Personally I wouldn't consider a fingerless design - I don't want braid under intense pressure anywhere near my bare fingers!!
