Busanga Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 Need recommendation for a durable casting finger glove for spinning with braid and a thumb glove for casting with conventional reel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surf bomber Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 I try never to use spinning tackle… but for conventional I use baseball bat tape… most sporting goods store have it. Self stick … I put it on the rod just behind the rod seat …. Long distance casting on utube may have the video …. It does last a long time … been casting off the beech with it for a while ,sand ,salt and fresh water rinse and it’s been on the rod for two years ….never came loose .

scrapper Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 When I used to fish with both style reels I wore a leather batting glove. Worked for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 I used Gauztex for conventional, it sticks to itself like Velcro but has no adhesive glue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like these I've only seen ones like in your pic, before switching back to cast cannons I used the Dr.Fish ones from Amazon or the Gamakatsu ones , they worked great but only have the index finger protection Busanga 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFriendlyFisherman Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 I have heard that braid really takes a toll on those casting gloves and they tend to not last long and aren’t the best for maintaining good feeling. You could try modifying a golf or baseball glove. I know you aren’t looking for tapes, but I also use hockey tape and it has served me better than anything else I’ve used so far - and comes in any color you could imagine, and is cheap, and doesn’t get stinky since it’s single use Busanga 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogie_boy Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 Home Depot FG leather work gloves, get one size small so it's snug. Cut off the last three fingers. Thumb and forefinger have reinforced tips. Used to be $10 a pair. Busanga 1 DITCH TROLL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camhabib Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 I personally avoid using a glove of any kind and stick to adhesive solutions. Many here use hockey tape, I personally use Kinesiology tape. You can get a decade supply of tape for about what you'd pay for a pair of gloves that lasts you one season.

The Gamakatsu has been recommended though, may give that a try linesiderdemdnj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
