Location: Bemidji, MN- | Anyone out there using fish handling gloves? I was looking at the Lindy ones. Are they effective? Do they reduce your hand dexterity? Are they long enough? Is there a better brand? (I would want a left handed glove).

Location: Lake City,Pa. | The Lindy gloves are a good investment. We bought a right and left handed. They work just fine! |

Location: Davenport, IA | Those lindy fish handling gloves are great but expensive. If your looking for something that is tooth and hook proof you can spend $6 at a hardware store instead of $40 and get some leather work gloves. |

| I don't use gloves so I can't comment on the lindy gloves. But I dont think I would trust leather to be hook proof.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | The Lindy gloves are a good product. Heavy Leather gloves work well, but as Dave said, are not totally hookproof. |

Location: Davenport, IA | I guess they aren't totally hook prove. With a lot of effort a hook can go through. But I dont' think a barb on a hook, or a muskies tooth could ever go through it. |

| Simple leather work gloves are not enough protection. Leather fireplace gloves are thicker/better, that's what I use right now, but any leather will get very slippery when handling pike or muskies.
Last week I saw a Joe Bucher show where he had some heavy rubber plumber's gloves that he had cut off at the wrist. Might be worth a look.
Lindy's gloves seem to offer the best protection but they are pricey. |
