Good set of gloves

Disclaimer. I have no reel experience.

That said. For gloves I get cheapo Kevlar dive gloves off eBay for 16 bucks. They last me more than a year average and I never have think about them getting lost or trashed cos of how cheap they are. To me, gloves get shredded so don't spend too much.

Harbour Frieght has latex palmed gloves http://www.harborfreight.com/n…e-palm-x-large-97405.html for 2 bucks.

By a bunch of them and throw them in your bag. I was told you should by them a size smaller than you usually wear after I already bought mine.

Kyle are those gloves lionfish proof? They look like a nice solution if they are

I wore gloves like that once and my only complaint was the the portion around the wrist was unsecured and flopped around a bit, more of a nuisance than anything. I solved it with a fairly heavy rubberband around both.

LB I doubt there lionfish proof but they feel safer to me than my dive gloves. I just try to avoid the dorsal spines altogether.

i buy the ones at divers direct and i patch them up with wetsuit glue. Going over a year with a pair.

I bought an expensive pair of Akona Kevlar gloves about two years ago and the first time I dove with them they saved my hand from getting cut off when i got it caught in the prop of my boat. I've been wearing them since and they're still in good condition. I highly recommend them even though their pricey at 40$.

I use the tilos gloves from divers direct, they look new after 2 years and were only 25 bucks

i'e had the hammerhead gloves for over a year and they have padding on the palms whiich if ur worriedd about the reel line that helps alot. I wish i shot fish big enough to pull the reel line out fast enough to worry :rolleyes1:
they are goood and comfortable, but after a year they need replacing. I've used them heavily, though.
I think next i may get the akonas. their booties are great and the gloves look good too.

Home Depot Nitrile lined Nylon gloves. 5,99 bucks and you need no more. Latex lined gloves become sticky over time (short time).

marco, you dont feel like the fingers are too stiff? i like to have the most dexterity possible

I feel them perfect and those gloves are the ones all of our group uses. They're black with Nitrile lining on the palm and a small velcro in the back. They last like 6 month, dependind on the abuse.

For me, gloves are a consumable, like printers cartridges.
