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.

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.

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.
