Geeze, Flap, I'd be happy with your dilemma! Yeah, I know I got a slap coming.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

When your thumb becomes so sore you cannot use it, cut a finger off a rubber glove, smear your thumb lightly with any antiseptic ointment and apply the cut off rubber finger. Use a small rubber band and form a circle on the rubber finger something like a condom to keep it in place. It at least allows you the use of the finger.

Your condition will clear up instantly. Give it hell while you have the opportunity.

Standing on the water, casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing

Buy Aquaskinz Black Thunder Gloves and never worry about scrapes and cuts again. Completely under-rated product.

DO NOT buy them for warmth, they actually do the reverse of keeping you warm once they're wet. Keeping your hands in perfect shape is what they're all about for me. Grab barnacle covered rocks (and fish) without fear.

The Aquaskinz black thunder gloves protect your hands well from the braid and fish abrasions, but you end up with bathtub hands afterward. No real need to go fingerless with them either.

Flap,

My family owned the oldest concession license in the State for many many years. I sold baloons (Peanuts, Popcorn, Ice Cream and a cold drink) at the entrance gate to the Boston Public Gardens for twenty years. Baloon string put nasty nasty line cuts on most of my fingers. I have been used to opening those old wounds throughout the fishing season and they get worse year after year. The amount of scar tissue I have in these areas and the pain that results from cutting open a twenty year old scar has at times brought me to tears. Fast forward to last year on MV and I got my scare when they thought I might have that flesh eating fish disease. I started wearing the Aquaskinz gloves. I realized a few weeks ago that my hands were not the mess they have been and it is because of the gloves. Yes I am invovolved with the company but I am dead serious that constant use of these gloves has made my fishing far more comfortable. As stated above, below 40 degrees and wet they do make your hands more cold butif they are dry, no problem in the cold weather. I love this product and now that I past 40 I am not as willing to be miserable when fishing.

Oh yeah, I am catching doo doo and if you want some company....just drop me a line (:>)

I have this vitamin E/aloe oil I put on the cut up hands. It seems to heal 'em quick. I don't let anything stop me from being out there.
Well maybe if someone in my family was real sick. You know how that is.
