Treble hook safe glove?

After pricing the fish gripper and feeling how heavy it is, and then spending today's early, nearly still dark, morning with my thumb brushing against those trebles, I have to get something. Is there an inexpensive glove? Can I make something?

For every benefit to yak fishing, there's a cost, not that it matters; the yak has ruined me. Still, landing fish, to hand, is a pain; don't get me wrong, I love it, but especially in the near dark, while bouncing and trying not to make the fish endure too long of a fight, god, I'm going to be the poster boy for "The Gripper: See what happens when you leave home without one."
Benefit 2 with a cost: Took my first two swims this morning. I had to free myself of the early morning coffee, but apparently waited too long,,,the bite was on. I paddled for shore, had been in the yak a while, so the legs weren't right. When I jumped out, things didn't go well, but managed to keep my head out of the water. However, not having time to think through my next move,,,hands working the snaps and zippers of three layers, I slipped again, and this time, I took the full plunge. Cold water works miracles on a bursting bladder.

Wouldn't a glove and the proper amount of duct tape prevent trebles from taking me off the water during a good bite? Or, am I missing something? I can't be missing anything more. At this point, I've got leashes all over the place on my friend's yak. One more leash attached to anything and I'm heading for some bondage therapy. Yea, my stuff is safe, now, not going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. I, on the other hand, am bound, ha, to be wrapped and trapped by all the leashes. Benefit 3 with a cost: Cover more water than ever, the Hunter. Cost: killed protecting his weapons. Hmm, sounds kinda worldly familiar.

The worst part is: Benefit 4 with a cost. The yak has introduced me to fishing, again, almost as if it's something new. I think that I'm starting to understand the "Madness." Cost: I haven't even bought a paddle and the sickness is taking over; like, I haven't even touched poison oak, but I start to itch. It's gotten all up in my head, but I don't even own the "ITS" yet. What crack did for the freebase addict. This is bad, but I'm loving it. I'm going with duct tape and a glove, unless someone shows me the error of my ways.
Thanks for letting me ramble and for any suggestions.

I thought grippers were light and cheap? Hook 1 has the plastic, floating ones for like $12 don't they?

the boga grip now, that's pricey and heavy.

Get a pair of the plastic grippers to save your hands. They float so you don't need to leash them. Lingcod may be able to overpower them, but for most rockies and FW fish the grippers work.

All that stress and thinking. 12 bucks and they float? I can do that. The ones that I'd seen were 45 and over, metal, heavy and would need a leash. I'm starting to sense that I'm putting the cart before the horse: Yak clothes: coming together,,, leashes: got plenty, and built a yak cart and two yak rods, and my tackle is starting to sort itself: Yak stuff and non yak stuff and the yak stuff is scooping up a lot of my best hardware. I can't end up in the emergency room with a hook in my hand. I won't; I'll cut it out and super glue it; there's still too many things that I need in order to find that perfect ballance in yin and yang and between inner peace and harmony and the overwhelming desire to kill the seal that tries to eat my fish.
12 bucks and they float, and it's mainly larger lings that will 'part' the jaws? Cool.

STOP    Take a breath, sit down enjoy a brew, let brain reengage slowly and the MADNESS won't be so overpowering.  The brew will let brain sort out what is first, second, and so on.  Once all is sorted then   GO FOR IT.

Those grippers are the shit! Atlas fit gloves are really nice to protect your hands OTW. They are great to clean your catch with too. I also only use single hooks on the ocean. Trebles always get me. jim

I've used mine. lings, WSB, halis and even monster 10" SAND DAB!

"Stop?" I hear that word so often that I'm starting to think -there I go again- that I'm being told something. It's too late; the glide from a fish on the other end of the line, has got me.
For 12 bucks, I can take the risk of 'shit.' I'm really hard on tackle, if it's shit it won't last long, but I gotta do something right away. I'm gonna try and have a glove also. 
Jim, could you give me a general breakdown of sizes for lures and how you run your singles? My ratio of hits, to fish on, while trolling, isn't what I'd like; I don't want it to slip anyfurther, lost chances to glide.
I never thought I'd be a glove wearing or gripper fishing kinda guy. Now I see the light and it's red and runs like water, seemingly, no matter how much care is taken to prevent it from shining.

EWB, the dab sealed the deal,,,beasts,,,the pitbull of the fish family. I'm not gripping anything bionic, and I don't like stripers inbetween my legs or on my lap, so its captive life at the gripper's claws will be short lived. Back in the water they go. Most.

HTFU?

Dude-- HTFU....

You don't need a lip gripper, for almost all the fish you'll release just lip 'em or grab 'em behind the gill plate. I'm sure you can do it from shore, if so then you can do it from a yak. 
You'll learn how quickly with all the schoolie stripers. Practice on the schoolies and soon you'll be gill plating underlings. Anything that you are going to keep (which is most of the toothy critters) goes to gaff or net anyway.

trebles are scary, but only scary. I have left them on most of my lures and only once or twice in the last decade do i get one buried. If you have pliers then you're still in the bite. There are a few lures where i went to singles as the fish occassionally twisted off the trebles - mostly my schoolie striper lures- the front hook of x-rap 8s and 10s and the yozuri crystal minnow.

I agree that it's only striper fishing that could cause a problem. I'm not bringing a hot but in a yak and virtually all cod fishing would be done with singles.
I'm kinda fish gooey soft about grabbing gils, unless it's meat. So that's not going to work, for me. Yea, I've lipped a few stripers this year; for a couple of months, my left thumb was permanently scabbed; out of work equalled a lot of time on the water. However, not to be argumentative, I fish a lot of low light situations and the last 10 or so stripers came aboard via my thumb. It felt that the rocking of the yak wouldn't allow for a thumb and hand to hold without there being a little twisting. I'm not dropping the fish; there's just an occasional slight rotation with all the movement going on, and stripers, especially in a feed, tend to find a way to get a mouth and face full. At this point in my yak education, trebles are more than just scary.
Some day I hope to make it out to one of the striper get togethers. I'd love to see how you guys do a lot of things. I'm learning on the fly and solo, so there's a lot to learn.

Oh, although I'm serious about fishing, more specifically, serious about not getting skunked, a lot of the time, I've got a weak hold on "serious."
