I mostly fish with braid in snaggy waters. I found these gloves after I got a slice from 15lb braid when a donk changed it's mind about getting captured. These gloves are tough enough that I can break 50lb braid at the knot without worry. This past summer a snapping turtle grabbed my son in law's senko. I was able to lift it on 15 lb regular Power Pro. No problem. That stuff will slice a bare hand with ease. There are circumstances where grabbing the line is advantageous. I'm glad I found something that protects me without a doubt in those situations. Does anyone wear something similar? Is there a fishing glove available that claims a cut rating?

 

P.S. I have no commercial affiliation with ATG.

 

 

I wear sun gloves and only use braid for frogs, so never had the need to do battle with braid.  But fishing where you do I can see where your gloves would be very useful.

I avoid wrapping line around my hand and if i need to for some reason, i just wrap it around a paddle shaft. The worst ive ever gotten was a glorified paper cut

Ditto. I learned the hard way a few years ago- never wrap braid around my hand. I don’t think I’d trust any glove to protect me. That Senko ain’t worth it. 

If my frog braid should get hung up I use a 5" piece of 1/2 in dowel with a little groove around the middle with the edge of a file and any other line I get hung up with.  Works great and saves rod tips.

Yea never pull with the rod regardless of the price. Use a leader in snag prone waters . Like 10lb fluorocarbon. Problem solved.

10 LB Flouro? Between the dense pad fields strewn with lumber and giant Chain Pickerel I may as well just chuck my tackle bag in the water as soon as I get there then go home. This picture was taken 2 days ago. Wall to wall snags. A 2lb bass can't be pulled through this with 10lb anything.

I've snapped the braid at the dowel a number of times losing a ton of line plus the lure using this method.

I wouldn't encourage you to do anything that you have no faith in. That said, I've busted off tree branches and dragged logs in with 50 and 65 lb braid while wearing these gloves. They work great and have aided in saving lots of lures. Holding up a thrashing 20 lb snapping turtle with 15 lb braid high enough out of the water to crush the hook's barb in order to release it was a test this type of glove passed. I have zero fear of injury while using them in these circumstances. Just like a pair of needle nose pliers or forceps, I'm happy to have them with me when I'm fishing.

Yea you're right. I was thinking trees. Definitely wouldn't work here and I would definitely just use straight braid. 

 

If the glove works for you, awesome ! 

Might want to consider this, great for tying leaders and etc.

Clever idea. Added to cart! Thanks!

I use a different tool from the same company:

It makes braking braid easy and protects fluoro when I have to break it.

That's a neat tool.  Does it float?

I have never had to find out    I will try to remember to check tonight in the sink. 

 

It’s so handy that it, along with polarized glasses, pliers, and nips, are part of my “gotta hike/paddle back to the car” list of things I really really don’t like fishing without.  Especially with all the fluoro I use, the tool protects the line where I am pilling it from so it 99% of the time breaks at the knot instead of breaking at the pulling stick.

No.
