found a good use for a golf glove
well...as ya'll know i ain't into golfing. maybe a little putt-putt now and then. BUT..... i was at work last week and found a golfing glove. so seeing as my hands are dry from the dry cold (i know it has been raining for 2 weeks ) here latly. i am having a hard time holding onto my rod. so i decided to wear the glove (left hand glove). WONDERS NEVER CEASE!! it actually HELPED me keep a grip on the cork handle better than a bare hand. ok, so i ain't the smartest cookie in da jar. but it really surprised me. i am gonna keep a golfing glove from now on so i can keep a better grip on my rods from now on when my hands are too dried out. yes i do use lotion....sometimes. but this works better for me. try it gang. looks funny, but it works. lol.

Nice tip john. We've got a bunch of old golf gloves, most of my uncles golf and my sister used to.

I have a buddy that wears a golf glove whenever it's cold. I thought he would be the only one!

Take a look at Newman coaches gloves. Similar to golf gloves but they come as a pair and they're insulated. You can pick up things with them and feel things. I use them hunting and fishing when it's cold. Actually I mostly use brown tight fitting cotton gloves mostly when fishing and I carry several pair so if one gets wet, I switch. I can fish about as well with gloves on as off.

As for getting a pair of golf gloves, look at the Foot Joy rain gloves. They come in pairs, and work pretty well. Your hands still get wet in the rain but they will actually grip the rod better once wet. |

I also use the Mechanix gloves and waterproofed them and they seem to work great! Instead of cutting the whole fingers out I cut a 1/4" section out at the first knuckle of the gloves and that way I can still feel my line and and my hands stay dry and warm! Just my .02

jigger, where does one find those gloves you're talking about? and i haven't watched any "pros" on t v in a long time. i have he3ard of the wraps though. the glove i found was brand new, never used, so i thought i'd try it. works for me. i'll check out the wraps too. in the summer i don't really need em. just when my hands dry out.
also i would like to know where to get those foot joy gloves, they would come in handy during a rain. thanks gang! |

The best use for a golf glove is GOLF. Shame on you guys.
Personally, I wouldn't cut the fingers off any of my gloves since it is so difficult for me to find gloves that actually fit. I have huge hands. |

John, the perfect hand cream for us winter bassfishing freaks is "Zim's Crack Cream". My hands get extremely dry and start cracking at the joints (very painful). Zim's is my salvation! For Fishing I have some fingerless flannel (Camo) gloves with a rubber palm. The nice part is that if these gloves get a little wet, they'll still retain a little heat and they dry out quickly.
I have never cared for the rod wraps, they tend to dampen the sensitivity, for me, so I won't use them.

Nice idea...... I doubt I'll ever need to use seeing that I live in south Fl.
