Feel What's Going On
Tampa Bay and west central Florida fly fishing guide Captain Bryon Chamberlin recently sent us some images and glove feedback that we wanted to share:
"I've been using the WORKwt. Gloves quite a bit for fishing. The gloves have absorbed some significant line burns that would have otherwise got my left hand pretty good. You can see the marks on the black material. These gloves also help me fight tarpon since I put additional pressure on the fish by pinching the line against the fore grip of the fly rod. With the gloves, I can feel what's going on and I don't have to worry about line burn when the fish surges. The only negative to add is on this particular pair is that a couple of finger darts have started to delaminate."
