AquaSkinz Gloves...

Just curious to see what folks thought of the gloves.... If you came by the AquaSkinz booth during the Mass Bass Show and saw them or tried them on, please post what you thought.

Thanks,

Kadir

Tried them on at the hartford show and they felt great,they seemed like they will be easy to tie knots with also, one thing about all gloves and I cant speak for these yet because I havent used them yet, is the fact that they continue to reek after handling allot of fish or lugging that 30 pounder back from somewhere, but we will see.......once again another KICK ASS, product from Kadir and Crazy AL....

Pete,

Thanks for the reply and the compliment! The best thing to do is wash them with mild soap and water. Since they are synthetic, they will not hold the smells like all leather gloves.....but they still need a wash once in a while.

Kadir,

Have you used them in testing to handle eels?

Sorry guys/gals, I didn't want to start another thread and forgot to ask this question along with the gloves...it's late and I am

We have gotten an overwhelming amount of postive feedback regarding the new single row bag with regard to overall design and spce available. What did you all think of that little honey ?

Come on don't be shy....lay it on me. utin:

I tried the gloves on at the show and found that I liked them a lot, the only problem was that I have long fingers and even the largest glove was a little on the small side. What I'm wondering is how wearing the gloves when it's cold would effect my hands. What I mean is having a wet glove on for a long period of time, would that make my hands feel even colder?

I though the bag was great and plan on picking one up at the R.I. show. Good job.

What up Kadir?
I have got to say I love the gloves and look forward putting them to the test this season. I'm sure they will hold up well, just like all of your products. My only thing is I have hard time fishing with gloves, but then again I have never tried on a pair like yours. I like the feel of them and the tightness to my skinz, and that makes a difference. I got to tell you buddy and I know I speak for many. For a lot of us Fishing the surf is not a picnic, it’s a very tough environment. The salty Ocean is an unforgiving atmosphere and a play ground for all of us, but in order to play in this park you need equipment that can handle the elements season after season. You guys have made that possible for me and many I’m sure, so keep up the good work and when we going to see some waders. Waders are the only thing I have now to replace twice a Year if I’m lucky. See ya at the Rhody show

Unhappy

Too expensive, sorry guys but you asked. I looked at them and they are very well made but it's just too much money for the product. I guess I won't be among the "in" crowd on the beach this year. I don't see it.

Why even try.........

I like the gloves, and I will soon find out what it will be like once they get wet how cold my fingers will be. They fit well even with my gargantuan hands. I will try the knot tying with them on when I get a chance. $25 or so for a quality pair of gloves that are not leather like a golf glove isn't all that much money to spend. I paid more for my Glacier gloves and I don't really like those at all, especially once they get wet.
I like the single row plugbag, very well thought out design, lots of room for what you will need. The bucktail jig slots are big enough for canal size jigs too, not just those small ones they use at Montauk. I think for the quality of the bag you are paying for, it will outlast a bag that cost less and leave the customer happy.

Ross, ouch that sux. I hope it heals up good for you also. Be careful.

Kadir,

I hate gloves in general and avoid wearing them even when at work remodeling or doing finish carpentry. So I can't imagine how one could tie knots with anything on.

That said, I cut my thumb to the bone on Wednesday and now have to wear a glove on my left (favored) hand in order to splint and protect the wound...First glove I wished I had was the Skinz

Now that we know it's not infected, the wound will be getting a shot of Crazy glue today to hold it better. I am praying it will heal in time for the first cast, not to mention work!

I concur with what RoyL said and can't wait to put the new top to the test, soon.
