Effective protection
How many of us have ended up with a hand injury after catching a fish with sharp or rasping teeth? Not only can this hinder a fishing trip, it can also lead to more serious injuries. What's more, it's not uncommon for novice anglers to unhook a nice fish just before grabbing it for fear of injuring themselves. The Brocator glove from FishXplorer is the perfect solution. The glove has been designed so that it can be put on and taken off with just one hand, an undeniable advantage when you're in the middle of a fight.
It has a well-crafted grip which allows you to grasp many fish properly and firmly. It is puncture-resistant and easy to attach and detach thanks to an integrated snap hook and magnet.
The Brocator glove is sold individually and is available in sizes M, L or XL for both right-handed and left-handed anglers. It's up to you to decide which hand you tend to use for your various catches.
The Brocator glove is made from 60% polyethylene (PE), 30% nylon and 10% latex-coated elastane.
Caring for fish too
To grasp a fish correctly, whatever the species, it's best to be sure of your gesture and not to procrastinate. With this style of glove, you'll be more confident and your grip on the fish will be more respectful. However, before grabbing the fish or putting your hand in its mouth, you must wet your gloved hand to avoid removing the mucus from the fish's skin.
For different species
If you need to get your hand into the huge mouth of a catfish, the Brocator glove lets you do so without worrying about rasping teeth. It can also be very useful for other species such as bass or black-bass, which tend to move easily when gripping. By holding the fish firmly and without any apprehension, you'll avoid the risk of getting a hook stuck in your hand. This glove will also enable you to unhook treble hooks from the mouths of fish, particularly pike, with minimal risk.
