Fishing Fish handling mitt?

[huwcar]

Hi there,

I know that fish handling (landing, de-hooking, filleting, etc) gloves are available to help with protection and grip.

Are there mitts available too? I am unable to wear gloves. Where would I get one from?

Thanks!

you posted that on fish net too not sure if i have seen anything like what you are talking about yet but if i do i will let you know

 

[huwcar]

Yes, I posted it there too - spreading it to try and get a response if possible. A friend of mine has a mitt like I'm describing, but it's about 20 years old and was passed down to him from his father. They at least used to be available!

Yep, in Melbourne area but happy to mail order or online order. I've spent hours searching through online fishing stores though and haven't found one.

Yeah, the style of the second picture (individual thumb, no individual fingers) would be the perfect option. Obviously not ski gloves like in the picture tho

I reckon I'd be happy to pay up to $30 and if they don't come as a "pair", left only is fine. I'd also be happy to fix you up with the $$ if you saw something and grabbed it on my behalf.

Cheers.
