First couple of times I did feel a bit, shall we say, self conscience. But this method is quick, easy and painless (ie sliceless). I opened up my finger a few times before and add the salt water in and it was painful.

Frankly, I don't care what I look like as long as it keeps me out their longer increasing my chance of catching fish. And doesn't slow me down at all. The golf glove is especially made for play in wet, rainy weather. A pair cost me about $15 and is entering my second season.

When I was in Jamacia for spring break a few years ago my friend and I went out on a charter (it was actually more of a small skiff with wooden out riggers and wood clips to hold the line. Anyway we used HAND LINES. The guy gave us a small piece of rubber (probably a bicycle inner tube) to put on our fingers to prevent the line from digging into our fingers. We only got one fish and my friend caught it (small tuna, I would say a bonito but it looked a little different) A couple other guys we knew went out that day too and caught a bunch of fish and had no protection and their fingers were all banged up. I have since used a rubber sheath when I'm fishing the surf in October when its really cold and raw and it has helped tremendously.
