3 Reasons to Use FISHING GLOVES | An EXPERIENCED REVIEW (Fish Monkey)

Pro bass angler Randall Tharp used to hate wearing fishing gloves, as he felt they hindered performance, but he's since changed his tune. He attributes his Fish Monkey Stubby Guide Glove (wired2.fish/FishMonkeyStubbyG...) to vastly reducing penalties in the Bass Pro Tour, enhancing fishing performance and sun production while reducing hand injuries at the same time.
Tharp's 3 reasons for switching to gloves:
1. Protection from nicks and cuts. Boat flipping bass and grabbing the line or fish is a surefire way to get a line cut or fin jabbing. Tharp was tired of beating his hands up during tournaments. Quality gloves allow you to grab sharp braided or fluorocarbon lines directly under the weight of a thrashing fish without the risk of cutting your hands. For this reason, Tharp attributes going from the highest penalized angler during the first year of the Bass Pro Tour (no gloves) to the least penalized just a year later. No cuts equates to less dropped fish.
2. Better control of your rod and fish. Tacky non-slip silicone palm prints grip rod handles and reel plates more confidently than a wet and slippery naked palm. The handling of fish is made easier as well.
3. Enhanced sun protection. While sunscreen is a boat essential, let's face it, the stuff is continually wearing off, especially when you're sweating and sticking your in and out of the water. Quality UPF, sun protection gloves provide continuous all-day protection from harmful rays, just another critical benefit to "gloving up."

I've ran fish monkey gloves for over a year now and I love them. Especially when frog fishing.

[@ralo4265]

Good stuff Randall! 👊🏼💯🇺🇸 Thanks for the tips my friend!

[@DFox-ud3gx]

I was just lookin at them this morning, just might have to get a pair and try these out

[@riverrightoutdoors]

Great video 🔥

[@sparks2spare782]

I got some Fish Monkeys last year. They are 🔥 Really comfortable gloves! Home run product.

[@Freshmanger2009]

Gloves are great. Protect from sun, braided line, fins, holding the fish, and drys fast so reel won't be so slippery. I have huks but might try the ones he has.

[@NewEnglandOutdoors1]

Great video

[@jpipfishing]

100% everything he said is true. I really enjoy using gloves when I fish. 🤙🏻 I use the aftco ones

[@fishmonkeygloves66]

Try us!

[@stoneysdead689]

Luv my Monkeys- especially my woolies... you get used to them after a while and stop snagging hooks in them. Drove me nuts at first but, they keep your hands warm. Helps to have a pair that really fits correctly- I see ppl with the wrong size gloves on all the time.

[@jeremybrumley25]

No doubt! 🙏🤙🏻😁🧢

[@North_Star_Fishing]

Great video man, I just went ice fishing on my channel also!

[@Harleywindtherapy]

My dad and father in law fought in WW2...heart attacks and other crap...both got skin cancer and died. I've worn buffs and long shirts and sun gloves the last 10 years. Funny thing is, it's actually cooler than bare skin - sweat a lot less and no need for sunscreen with its unknown ingredients and all the mess. I've never tried these...but maybe I will one day.

[@Wired2Fish]

Thanks for the feedback Sonocanoe. The old boys definitely took a hard beating so we can "sportfish" and also learn from their lives. The cumulative effects of a life in the sun have shown themselves in skin cancer statistics. Hands continue to be overlooked, so we appreciated Tharp's focus there. You're one of the smart ones when it comes to taking care of yourself.

[@Harleywindtherapy]

@@Wired2Fish you're kind, thank you so much. Thanks for putting the video out there too!

[@creighart]

gloves have save me alot from getting spiked and trebles

[@superfardman4332]

thats a gorgeus lake, i wanna fish it so bad

[@mikeantes9597]

Great video.thank you how do they hold up after being washed?

[@fishmonkeygloves66]

He speaks to that point in the video. Says they survive washing. We recommend hand wash in cold water, air dry.

[@mikeantes9597]

Watched it again I heard him speak of other gloves falling apart after being washed.you may want to have him make another commercial saying that they survive washing.thanks

[@Wired2Fish]

Thanks Mike, very impressed with the durability. You know it when holding and wearing them. More substantial than the wispy lightweight models out there.

[@wyattross5544]

I've been saving bass pro gift cards and I racked up 180 bucks worth, had 30 left, and this persuaded me to give em a try

[@Phoenix-nl2ut]

Where can we get that ark shirt? I’ve got a few ark rods and live them.

[@Wired2Fish]

Hi Abe, we have a link in the video description.

[@MaximilianTheBassFisherman]

Not to mention, less of the oils on your hands are going to get on your baits. Thanks honey badger! Might have to pick up a pair!

[@Wired2Fish]

Missed that point but super valid. Thanks for adding Max.

[@MovingToMnPro]

I wish the gloves would go up the wrists a bit further

[@frankyeager2298]

I can fell it ... 👌

[@SaulTeebolz]

I feel a tree last week

[@mr.skeptical3071]

I ain't never used them!!! It's all about the "cool factor", just like swinging Every Single fish over the boat, even 7lbers!
