Just cut a finger off of your wifes dishwashing gloves. Works like a champ. Better take the whole glove though when ya cut the fingers off. She will most likely notice.

John, start grinding your hands in a bucket of sand everyday, great for callouses and by summer you will be crushing walnuts in your hands. Then when you backlash our gear you won't burn your thumb.

Don't you start with me too. And for the record, I did better casting yours while it was almost wide open than Paul's. I think it's just a matter of Paul being cursed.

Thanks again for the clinic that day - definitely was a big help.

Your quite welcome young padawan.

I was thinking about the gloves myself, but with my luck I would forget them. I use a piece of inner tube taped on with waterproof medical tape. Works pretty well and I keep it consul storage and a spare in my surfbag just in case.

I saw those woven leather finger guards up at Surfland - They look like they might slide off.

If by "cursed" you mean letting you use my gear, then I'd agree.

An honorable man would take his win and call it a day. Give me that video back. You're no longer allowed to enjoy it.

I think that has alot to do with proper casting form. Yeah I just kissed your ass a little. I put way too much pressure on the line with my finger. I just can't break the habit. One day I'll lose a finger for it.

i can and do fish braid without gloves with relatively heavy, say up to 3 oz, plugs without issue. but more and more i find myself fishing with gloves on each hand. just don't see the point in destroying my hands (bass thumb/hand, barnacle cuts, line cuts, etc.) when i can comfortably were a pair of aquaskinz gloves. i guess i'm just soft.
