How about the dexterity at the FINGER TIPS for fishing? Good grip or no?

The gloves are like wearing a rubber sauna and if it's anything strenuous your hands will be sweating inside and then become cold. You can grip a rod easy enough, but you won't be tying on hooks or small bait. I find these gloves useless for practical purposes. Wore them a couple times while jogging and my hands were soaked on the inside when I was done, might as well not wear any. After the 2nd time they've been collecting dust on my shelf. If you're going to sit and fish and not move much and it's not super cold outside these gloves would be alright.

I disagree with the previous answer: they are not very warm... they are somewhat warm. They dexterity is there but the intense grip of the rubber would make diminutive tasks difficult. I will be adding thin cotton glove liners to mine this year to provide a boost to insulation. Since I ride a bike with them, I don't have to worry about the added loss in dexterity. Theses gloves are not effective below 30F degrees.

I found them cumbersome. We all bought a pair for a wilderness kayak trip in Alaska last year and the fit for me was ok. The fingers were too long so I had no dexterity at all. Couldn't size down or would have been too tight! Grip is good but if you are fly fishing, no way could you attach a fly or leader.... they did however keep my hands warm like a wet suit would.. if your hands sweat you would want to wear a liner. Hope this helps.

I don't fish, but as a SCUBA diver, I have found the gloves pretty flexible and warm. The glued seams need some improvement.

I dont think you could tie any knots with them on but using rod and reel should be no problem. They do keep you dry and are pretty warm.

I first saw these gloves on the hands of a fellow passenger during a Bering Sea cruise I took last year. They provide excellent insulation from the wet and the cold. Since they are thick, there is not going to be fine dexterity or sensitivity with them, but you will be comfortable holding a pole in the cold.

Great dexterity and grip. Very warm as well. You just have to be careful as the gloves cut easily.

Sorry, I have no idea. I can handle Pike, Walleye, etc. no problem. I thought you guys swam underwater and grabbed those big 'ole catfish with your bare hands, LOL.

Depends if you want a standard thumb spring assist or flipper. It's kind of preference. The Blur opens with a hell of a kick, though, and has no guard - so be wary of your grip. If you're considering throwing down $150 for the buck you may as well consider the Spyderco Southard, it's the nicest flipper I've had the pleasure of owning, even without an assisted opening it flies open as fast as any.

Yes. I have the same size hands and it works well with either claw or fingertip grip.

yes, you fish with the reel as pictured, line up, and the right hand grasps the handle, I have 5 of these for my boat for last 4 years and love them. lost one overboard last season so had to replace it, great salmon season.

The action is definitely high. Good for building finger strength, in my opinion, but this one sounds a bit dirty if you lower it too much - especially if you play with a pick.

As others have suggested, strong fishing line would be good but might stretch a bit. Waxed/braided nylon is another option and might not stretch as much.

I think it's a great all around reel. Not heavy enough for extra heavy fish but great for what you're talking about.

Yes, the handle has an excellent textured rubber grip,. Even when wet, grip is very hardy.

I use them for fishing in the winter. I don't have much rope to pull on because I am trolling and my hands are rough to begin with. They would work if you have to pull on rope. Fast moving rope may burn through the glove, they are thin. The glove comes to the first knuckle.

when fishing salmon or steelhead it' nice to get more leverage on them. The longer rod is a bit stiffer and can handle fairly largre fish.

It is decent. A friend of mine has a faster trigger finger. But it's still good for people who don't have a tringer finger

I can only speak to the grip, he hasn't used them enough to assess durability (altho I will say they are very well made). The grip is excellent, not bulky and not sticky, but you can get the job done, allow easy use of binoculars and cycling. Hope this helps.

The grip is very good. I'm very happy with the grip and the dexterity. I've had these gloves over a year now, but I've only been through one winter. I've washed them a few times. When I do wear them, it's only for about an hour per day during my pre or post flight checks, about 15 days per month. So, my gloves get light usage. With that being said, they are in excellent condition, have held up well in storage, and I haven't had any problems. I like these gloves.

Hi Raymond, I wish I could help you but I haven't used mine yet. I intend to get back to bass fishing sometime, but I'm basically a fly fishermen and I'm having a hard time putting my mind back into spinning gear mode. Yes, they sound good, and I hope someone can offer you a definitive answer soon. Tight lines! Regards, Ron

Yes it is good but depending what you are using it for. It is very visable if you want to use it so it can be easily seen. Night fishing with a black light will make it easily standout. But for regular fishing I would stick with green or red.

yes, they have a good amount of grip for the price you are getting them. i would recommend these gloves if you're looking for a cheaper price and they will last if you take care of them.
