Just got to check them out, very nice! Two more quality products added to the Aquaskinz line. Looking forward to the back support belt, hope it's available within the next month!

Kadir, will be giving you a call tomorrow.

Kadir, the gloves look great but do you plan on making a split-finger glove? Fishing bail-less I want to feel and feather the line for casting.

Hey guys,

I was just playing with my gloves and gave them the knot tying test. They passed with flying colors. I tied up a half dozen leaders with the gloves on and had no problems. The last two I tied after getting my hands/gloves wet. As far as the temperature factor goes I can see these working like a wet suit. Trapping a layer of water tween the glove and your hands that will be warmed by your body temp. I think these gloves are going to be aweosme for climbing up and over a few of the rocks in Cohas....

Sorry John R.

I think these gloves are AWESOME. Some of the gloves I have tryed on are way to bulky. They will keep you warm but you can't feel a thing.
The new Aquaskinz gloves are anything but bulky. You can feel what you are holding. ( Hopefully a 40 lber)
I can't wait to get out and give them there first test.

BP,

Glad you tried the knot tying test...as you saw, there is absolutely no problem with the feel and sensitivety factor and they most definetey don't get in the way. You are also righ about keeping your hands warm even when wet. The gloves trap the heat when it is wet and you barely feel the chill.

JBuck,

I hope you hold many 40's with your gloves but even if you don't, you'll be happy you have'em on!

BernOC,

We will not be coming with a split-finger as we feel this glove will meet those needs due to tha fact that you can feel the line as you feather it. By keeping the glove whole, your hands benefit from warmth, protection and the overall strength and durability of the individual glove. I had mentioned that I cast conventional with the gloves on, I did and it was no problem once I made the slight adjustment for the glove. I think you will find the same if you give it a try.

Thanks for all the feed back and know that we will always strive to bring you, the user the best that we can. We would not put out something that we did not believe in or would not use ourselves.

Kadir

I'll mention another great thing about using these gloves. The fact that you will reduce your chances of getting fish handlers' disease- that nasty bacteria stuff. I scratch and cut my hands alot unhooking bass and having gloves on will reduce that. Granted they won't stop a hook from poking me, but it's like one more precaution to take. Enough people have already lost limbs and lives, I don't want to be added to the list.
