Oh right, now I remember the last time you used one of my conventionals and I spent about an hour removing the bird's nest. So, on second thought, gloves are a good idea and they will also keep you from breaking a nail.  |
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

Here's the problem with the Aquaskinz finger guard---it only comes in one size, and hands don't.

That's exactly my concern, especially since I have elfish sized hands. |

I was gonna get one at Xmas for Sauerkraut, but figured he'd have trouble picking his nose while waiting for a fish to eat his eel.

I have the exact opposite problem--long, thin palms and long fingers. The Velcro attachment straps only reach the heel of my hand.
You should be able to get a good fit by crossing the attachment straps farther up your wrist. |

Thanks Mike. I'll just have to try one on. Anyone know of a shop between 495 and Truro that has them in stock? Probably heading that way in a few weeks.
Thanks everyone for the help. |
