Gloves for handling Hard Head Catfish

Featured Replies

I do a lot of fishing in Southwest Florida a lot of the time I catch these Hard head catfish that have sharp barbs on the side and top fin, I have been barbed a couple times not and it is not fun are their any gloves I can buy that can prevent the catfish barb from puncturing the gloves? 

Any cheap leather gardening gloves from the dollar store will work.

Just google fish handling gloves and you’ll see several. I bought one several years ago for handling pike up in Canada. They were a pain. You couldn’t wear it all the time, and when you needed it, it was hard to put on while you were fighting a fish. I learned how to handle the pike, so I never used it again.

Grab the cats from behind the barbed fins.
