To G-Love or not to glove?
Rightyo you G-lovers or non glovers, give me your opinions on why you do or why you dont?
I'm a bare back man myself, I leave the thumb unleashed & i dont really get the G-Lovin theory ( unless of course i havent heard it yet which is why i'm here )...
I get it if you're bill fishing and a deckie has to try and wrangle with a big heavy fish with a beak and the tag line but apart from that it kinda baffles me.
When an AFL player G-Loves up I er on the side of retard but i give him the benefit of the doubt.... So to you Ty Vickory you can wear 3 gloves if it helps to De-Richmondize yourself.... But also they say it helps them clunk a grab.
So do you G-Lovers catch more fish?
I'm not knocking a G-Lover, I mean i let my missus as she needs to keep her soft delicate hands...
Theories?
Any closet G-Lovers that want to come out of the closet now?

No glove, no love
I first gloved up because I was sick of getting the back of my hands sunburnt chasing Barra.
They are great during Salmon season because I can cast thin braid with big lures without cutting up my fingers. They also make fish handling a bit easier when dealing with spikey critters.
They took a little bit of getting use to but now that I am dialled in I don't fish without them.
Also this one time I cast my GT combo without a glove. That is the kind of mistake you only make once...

No drugs JF, No shrooms
No drugs JF, No shrooms either JF8.....
Just a bored FIFO worker looking for something to bullshit about....
Fair call with the Sunburn and fair call for casting i guess but surely the glove cops a hiding, i just wrap the trigger finger with good leukoplast tape....
I handle fish with a wet towel....
Jf & JF8 do you glove up?

I gloved up in u14s when they were all the rage in 94.
I quickly realised 2 things:
I was a small inside mid so marking wasn't a focus and the glove affected my already suspect drop of the ball on the boot.
It lasted 2 games

Serious note took my boy out
Serious note took my boy out on Sunday Jigging and he copped some serious blisters so I gloved him up for his birthday which was this week. Bought him the cut offs but he wants the fulls for land based shark fishing this season. So two birds basically.

I run gloves.Best thing i
I run gloves.
Best thing i have done is get a pair. Spent 2 weeks down south casting lures at Salmon. 15lb braid and 30-40gr lures takes it toll on ya casting finger.
If i was just dropping dirty baits then wouldnt bothers but anything where you are actively handling the line they are brilliant. no more blisters or braid cuts.
You have to buy a decent pair but. I run the Assassin All Day Gloves and ya cant really even tell ya wearing them.
Also makes it easier handling fish aswell.

You dont see guitarists
You dont see guitarists playing with gloves on cause their fingers hurt, what you have to do is you get tougher hands.
I tried a pair of cultiva ones many years ago but they got all cut up casting thin braid and i ended up with line cuts on my finger anyway. Never used em since.
