my newest idea. I can hear your groans already :D

From the short time I've had to deal with Eels, I know they are a mess. Not only are they slippery but when you get that slime on your hand, the slime sticks to your hand, then whatever you touch and so on. I tried wearing a yard work glove but once that got wet, the eels were even more slippery. Needless to say, I gave up on the glove idea, or so I thought. I was walking through Home Depot and I came across this stuff for refinishing furniture. It's like the stuff on the back of sponges only a lot coarser. It's green as well. So heres my idea.

Take my workman's glove and that green stuff, cut blocks of it to fit my palm and each section of my finger so I can still bend them and all. Then, I could either sew it on using a needle made from a wire hanger and some dacron.(I'll probably use the 10 yards of fireline I have on a spool of fireline I have laying around). I'll put on my eel glove and try to bend my fingers. Do any trimming as necessary. My next concern is, "Where do I put this glove when I don't need it?" My solution is, put a grommet in the cuff of the glove. Then put a landyard on and hang it off my surf belt.

Instant love glove for eels.
