gloves

:confused: can anyone reccomend a good pair of neoprene gloves,ones that you can actually fish with,not to heavy that you cant feel anything or reel with,and maybe where the thumb and finger/s open, to bait up with

I have a pair of Ron Thompson gloves all the fingers and thumbs fold back for baiting up, and to be honest I can't fault them.

 

Had them for 2 years and only just thinking about a new pair as casting a fixed spool has put a few cuts in the fingers, and at less than a £10 for warm and toastie hands in the middle of winter you just can't go wrong.

I've got a pair of the Ron Thompsons as well, and would second everything that Scrabster says.

Me three I bought the Ron Thompson gloves recently and can't find much wrong with them. Excellent value for £10! The folding fingers are a god send for tying knots, baiting up and getting a ciggie out of the packet

i've got a pair of rons aswell...the only thing that i'd say is a bit of a pain is that they use velcro to hold open the fingers and thumbs and it just seems to snag or attach itself to anything vaguely velcro or woolen...so i've cut those bits off.

 

To be honest i rarely use them though as i dont normally suffer from cold hands.

Ive got a pair of sundridge gloves made of neoprene.Full fingered with opening thumb and forefinger.Like the Ron Thompson ones though , they to have anoying velcro bits to hold them open.Only wear them when hiking to a long peg as cant stand fishing in gloves.Very warm and waterproof though.

I have a pair of leather gloves in my bag, £8 from the local garden centre.

They are great for breaking out snagged lines, hand lining the odd bunch of doggies up the wall and unhooking awkward or very slimey fish.

Also great for grabbing the odd lobster or crab that comes up

Scrabster, you say you have cuts in your gloves casting with a fixed spool reel? Why don't you use a breakaway trigger? It has transformed my casting, they are great, couldn't do without one now.Best 10 quid I have spent.
