Professional fishing guides spend their days in the blazing sun and so skin damage and even cancer is always a risk. That’s why Fish Monkey introduced the Half Finger Guide Glove. It has a quick-drying fabric and synthetic leather palm plus SPF 50-plus sun protection for the backs of the hands, always a vulnerable area. The “second skin fit” contours to the natural shape of the hands, while exposed fingertips mean great dexterity for boat and tackle management. Get professional-level protection.

Fighting fish like marlin, tuna or wahoo can take its toll on your hands in the form of fatigue, cramping and even blisters. That’s when you should reach for The Crusher. This is the best all-around fishing glove on the water, with a special ergonomic design that mirrors the natural curve of your hands for the ultimate in protection and greatly reduced fatigue. There’s a special four-way quick-drying stretch material for comfort, synthetic leather palms for durability and Kevlar reinforcement to protect against cuts, scrapes and allows you to take a wrap on a fish. The exposed fingers mean you can still tie knots, open and close snap swivels and perform any other tasks requiring manual dexterity, while still being ready for a bite at a moment’s notice.

The fluke is a great bait for triggering a reaction bite. Its sudden, erratic movement can entice strikes when fish are finicky. Its ability to pause on the bottom allows it to stay in the strike zone longer, increasing your chances of getting bit. Rig the fluke with a weighted jig head or a weighted weedless hook. The fluke has long been known for its deadly weightless presentation on grass beds in the spring, especially for big bass during the spawn. But this bait is also just as effective in saltwater when rigged weightless. Some hooks we recommend include a jig head or a 3/0 hook with a 1/16 to 1/8 oz weight. You can also use the Owner 5/0 “rigging hook,” run through the head of the bait from the bottom and out the top.
