Gloves - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I always have a pair of fingerless nrs guide gloves on. Neoprene so they don't get too soggy. Nice and grippy, and protective without being cumbersome. Will also put a bit of sunscreen on my fingertips

I have some Buff sport series fingerless gloves I originally bought for paddling but I still wear them for the SPF on my Hobie sometimes. Handling fish/bait is no problem and they are quick dry. They have some angler gloves as well that I haven't tried but they look good. https://buffusa.com/shop-buff/gloves-category.html

I have a pair of aftcos in my tackle box and I haaaated them. Way too rigid... Possibly too big, but they dug into the web between my fingers and drove me nuts.

Gloves are a constant for me. Look for ones with no fingertips, made of some sort of spf 50 fabric, with synthetic leather palm reinforcement. They aren't stiff, dry quickly, protect your fingers and palms as well as the backs of your hands. They're great in Baja!
In cold weather (freshwater bass, trout, salmon) I go with fingerless neoprene gloves.
I dislike sunscreen on my fingers because I believe (superstition?) fish have a highly developed sense of smell and I haven't found any fishy sunscreen. :-)

I start to consider gloves too when my hands get some uncomfortable chafing from the rope after pulling up the anchor multiple times on my last trip. I just installed an anchor trolley so I use the anchor more frequently now. I’ll check out the nrs gloves too

You can make an all-natural fish attractant sunscreen by mixing 1:1 menhaden oil and bird droppings
