Hi there theangler,
After catching 40+ sandbass a day for 3 days my thumbs are torn all to heck. Seriously, I think I've scraped a nerve in the pad of my thumb as so much skin is literaly ground away and three little extra long slashs feel prickly when I try to flex the thumb.
I tried using the 3M water proof stuff but it didn't really do the job to protect my thumbs. I then tried ends of rubber gloves but the sensitivity for fishing was messed up.
The only way to grab those sand bass without injury to the creatures gills or taking the slim off them is to lip them. It's hurting me more than them!!! Oh well, It's nice to know they are free to fight another day.
Looking for a solution besides not catching so many fish!
