Recommendation for Gloves for Crayfishing
Submitted by Cleo on Thu, 2016-11-17 17:42
Hi,
I am about to put my pots out and would appreciate it if anyone could recomended what are the best types of gloves to wear. In the past I have used various varieties of gardening gloves with limited success.
Thanks

I have used them all and reckon the ansell green and yellow dishwashing gloves extra tough from coles or woolies are the best...great for when the rope gets all slimy.

I still use the ones I did as a pro
The heavy rubberised outer over fabric. Usually red or green, not expensive. You will handle years worth of crays as an amateur before you wear them out and a spike will never pentrate them. Just remember to keep them dry, wash out in detergent and turn inside out to dry thoroughly once a week.

I use the same as ranmar above has described usually red , wash them and stick a cray batten inside the fingers to make them upright then jam the batten in a rod holder for them to drain and dry
easily bought in bunnings or some tackle shops

Red ones from Bunnings
As per ranmar and hezzy - there's some good red ones at Bunnings. Very similar to the ones we used on the cray boats. They go about 1/2 way up your forearm.

Gloves
If you have an old wet suit cut the arms off to make some sleeves so the feelers do not tear you up and try dive shop they have some good gloves with leather on the palms.

Cray Gloves
We stock the Showa gloves, the cray boats use these and they are tripple dipped PVC outer (durable) and cottom inner (comfortable).
They cover to just below the elbow so protection from the feelers also. ($11.95 pair)

I just picked up a doz pairs right at the registers . $2.40 for 2 pairs. Fellas were struggling to release the rope they were so grippy. Grey cottonish fabric with blue textured rubber. Should have grabbed more dammit.

Why not just do it right and get a pair of Kevlar from a dive shop for $30. Will outlast everything mentioned above.

Doesn't stack up.
Doing it " right"?--red rubberised ones from Bunnings are about 5 bucks. They will last you at least 3 years of amateur fishing, probably longer , provided you dry them out between seasons. Your kevlar ones would need to last 20 years to be ahead.

Not only that, the kevlar
Not only that, the kevlar ones are great for stopping cuts but the horn spikes go straight through them. Rubber is where it's at
