Watched Gone fishing at the weekend and was suprised to see the skipper, filleting fish, with a pair of gloves on, I want to know if they are any good and what to look for in a glove, ie:- thickness, material, brand etc.
Do many of the netters wear these?

Hi Rozye
I have a pair - they are the type that will not allow your knife to cut you - got them from Smart Marine - very light and dam good - not that I'm in the habit of cutting myself but you never know when stupid sod will motor past you and his wake will cause you a problem just as you start slicing.
They were not expensive and worth their weight in gold. ------------- People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it! FISH FIGHT The Peoples Protest |

| yeah they will stop a knife from cutting you, but i wish they would design one that stopped snapper spines from jabbing me!! |

Yep I use the light weight ones more for getting a damn good grip on a fish than anything. Too many years of filliting have hopefully honed my filliting technique, so, cutting my hand is not tooo much of an issue, but when I tried the Glove it made one hell of a difference :) ------------- http://www.blackbillsportfishing.co.nz/" rel="nofollow">

I use a Kevlar glove on my left hand. Haven't cut myself yet although a couple of times I thought that was close. Knife is VERY SHARP I could probably shave with it. One mistake and I know I could have a big problem. Better safe than sorry. The glove didn't stay white long though

| I usually use one - it gives the security to hoe into the filleting knowing that a slip isn't going to slice thru tendons and stuff. |
