Not just which you like but value for money would be good also?
 
I did see some introduced here a while back and was going to get some and let it slip.
 
I want a full finger so I can use them when I bluenose fish to thumb the braid in place on the old 50 wide I use for that.
 
Mostly I want some gloves that don't sag when wet and arn't to thick.
 
What do you guys like?

I use ones from bunnings warehouse, utility gloves I think they call them. cheap and do the job, work well and light when wet. major differences from my mates recognised jigging brand gloves that I can tell is that they do not have a fishing brand name on them and they are 1/4 of the price.

Ninja gloves, fantastic grip wet or dry. Used them for everything, so good so cheap.

I have tried many different gloves. Maybe but top jap brands to cheap gloves from US stores like walmart, smiths mc works etc etc.

The $20 tradesmans gloves from supercheap are fine and I use them, but also have mc works ones as well.

Cant say I really care which ones I pull on, as I usually go for the driest and cleanest pair in site. or the ones i can find when grabbing the rod.

I use biker light trial gloves. They don't hold water much, have nice palm padding and nonslip strips for finger tips. Bought them for about $25 on a biker equipment sale Smile

This is our glove. We have done alot of trialing from Motor Cross Gloves to High end brands and have come up with this. They are a UPF top cover and full synthetic leather reinforced base which makes them super light, breathable and drying out super quick. Also casting finger on both gloves have been reinforced to minimse that annoying "finger break through" seanrio. A few other features etc

Available in 4 colours and at a very competitive price. If interested pm me.
