I'm just getting into fishing for the first time as an adult, and spent all day yesterday out on a buddy's boat catching little panfish. Immediately, I realized I want something that provides me with a more confident non-slip grip and also protects me from their spines while im trying to get the hooks out of their mouths.
I live in american south, so i have no need for insulated/cold weather gloves. I just need something reasonably light and flexible with a good sole to protect me from spines, or gill rakes if I start fishing for other types of fish soon that you lift that way. extra grippy surface would be a bonus.
I'd prefer either full or convertible finger style. I don't really like the 3-short styles because they don't seem to cover most of the part of my hand that I was most worried about getting stabbed while I was handling those little fish.
If it makes any difference for my options, I really only NEED a left hand glove I guess.
Thanks

Hey BW. My wife just has an old rag or a surgical towel that she handles the fish with. A simple and sure fix for handling your fish of all kinds especially if you are keeping them for food.
