Cheers team very helpful Thumbs Up  Went through my moto x gloves but there all shagged, obviously crashed more often than I recall. 

Typically we dont have a bunnings in the deep south but get the gist. A couple of cheap pairs will do for now and if there is any money left in the pot prior to Tonga may splash out on a pair of FLASH gloves Tongue

One the cheap accessible side - Fox Incline MTB Gloves are brilliant.. super light, tough as nails, the right length and good grip & fit ( for me anyway ).... Most bike shops should have them...
 
I've not tried many of the "fishing" brands apart from the Owner/Cultiva ones which were horrifically priced here in SA, and fell apart after about 20 minutes of jiggig and landing couta... they were in fact unravelling when I took them out the package, but perhaps I got a bad batch or something...
 
Love the JM Gloves as well.. super hardy and tough, but the fit for my hands ( big square mitts ) isn't perfect...
 
I used Pelagic Gloves for a while when I was first getting into Jigging and they were great, but just a bit heavy.... They are awesome for landing fish and snapping couta necks though, and always have them with me as back ups and for if I ever need to play wireman...

Owned Saltiga, Zanaq, Fishermans and used the Smith's for a week long trip.  I did like the Smiths a lot. Ermm
The Saltiga's have been brilliant, ripping a bit now but that's after serious use.  The Fisherman's have got super sticky rubber for grip. Not sure if it really helps or just adds to the cost!
Always take a few pairs of gloves away on trips as they get wet and stinky over the week.  
The black Bunnings ones are great.

Cheers David

I use the Smith Pro gloves as well.... very comfortable and hardy. Have also tried the Shout equivalent and they are nice. At a lower price, I have looked at the Owner gloves and they feel really good... never used them though.

One consideration is how high up the wrist you want your gloves. Personally I find the really high fitting styles a bit irritating. The Fisherman gloves look great and are no doubt very well made. But I don't like the wrapping so high around my wrist. That's probably just me though.

As for whether the cost is worth it compared to much cheaper bike gloves.... probably not :).

Try Smith gloves. They're the best IMHO and very durable and comfortable as they don't have a seam in the leather for the palm area. We've had a good run out of them. Available in dark blue and red at around $120-$130.

Mate I bought a pair of name brand "fishing" specific gloves that lasted about three months and cost me a fortune ex japan. For the last few years I've been using a pair of tooling gloves I bought at bunnings for $15 on sale...
The name brand one's cuffs ripped away from the palms on one hand and the back of the hand on the other, most likely from pulling them on to tight I was told but I'm a lot more rough with my tooling gloves and they stand up to it.]]> Sun, 01 Aug 2010 13:19:50 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55966&PID=799997&title=gloves-glove-gloves#799997 <![CDATA[Gloves Glove Gloves : Im slowly getting my kit together...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55966&PID=799982&title=gloves-glove-gloves#799982 Author: Redwaka

Im slowly getting my kit together for a popping trip to Tonga. Gloves are now up for consideration.

Putting aside the argument that gloves are for girls Wink, it seems that a good pair of gloves are a required (critical?) bit of kit for casting heavier gear for the likes of GTs etc.

gloves must be a good fit, they provide extra grip, finger protection for casting, make it easier and safer for handling braid and fish. The question I guess is..... from the wealth of experience on this forum, are their real benefits in a name brand pair of gloves  designed specifically for the task (apart from the cool factor Big smile), or is a pair of old Moto X gloves good enough to do the job?

What are your thoughts?

What brands do you recommend?

Cheers
