finger tape? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Any recommendations on tape for fingers?
I have seen alot of people using some sort of blue cloth type tape but cant find it at the local longs...
I always seem to get line cuts from pulling up stringers after snags, as well torn up thumbs from bottom lipping small calicos. My girlfriend is really getting pissed about these rough fingers so i thought i would turn to you guys for help.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

3M Vetrap Bandage Tape.

Its primarily used to rap the legs of horses, and it is a fantastic finger rap to prevent cuts.
-It comes in 4" rolls, you need to slice it into 1" rolls and you are good to go.

Buy online or Feed Store.

Or try "FLEX RAP" available at all fine tackle shops.

Just rub some dirt on it...

The stuff works great especially when your casting a lot. I wrap my finger that controls the line on the reel, it stops the burn.

Flex wrap.I had it on to stop spectra burns for a YT that never came.

Flex Rap, Vet Rap are the same exact product. The only difference is the Vet Rap is much cheaper and you get a lot more of it on the roll.

Did you know that Knorr Chicken Bouillon Cubes sold in your grocery store are the exact same Knorr Chicken Bouillon Cubes sold in the ethnic isle listed under Caldo de Pollo Cubes ?

Seriously, they are the same. However the Knorr Caldo de Pollo Cubes are cheaper.
