Gloves for Rock Fish

What gloves do you use while fishing for rock fish?  I have been stuck too many times and don't much enjoy the experience. 
I searched the site but didn't notice anything recent  .

I use a Lucid lip gripper to get them from the net to the clip and have never been stuck.

a plastic Fish Gripper will do wonders in keeping your hands puncture free. They are like vise grips, and getting them attached to a lanyard or bungee type cord is a must, or they will be clipped onto your escaping fish, while you watch them both disappear into the depths.

I uses NRS waterproof paddle gloves, but they serve multiple purpous for me. but they are thick no barbs have got me and my thumbs are not as @#$%

the really thin ones from home depot...they are barley rubberized on the palm finger side and like panty hose material almost(dont get all excited boys)...you would think at first they are TOO thin...nope...wash em..dont dry em in a dryer and they last almost all season...at like 4-5 bucks a pair tops...the ones with either a gray or yellow wirst band and black glove....awesome...can feel what you doing and almost never need to take me off to tie etc..

I'm a huge advocate of wearing rubber dipped gloves for rockfish. I seem to lip a lot of my fish, maybe from growing up bass fishing.

Anyways, I've pretty much tried a dozen or so, regarding cheaper gloves. What I've discovered is that most of these gloves either the rubber breaks down in the sun after use or the elastic wrist area wears out after a couple washes. Here is what I look for:

1. Have rubber tough enough to protect from teeth and spikes.
2. But the rubber must also be thin and the fit snug enough where I can tie a leader without too much difficulty.
3. Elastic wrist band must hold up.
4. Rubber can't break down after multiple washes.

I've found two brands that have worked out for an entire season. One is called PowerGrip, they have darker blue rubber with lighter blue cloth. These gloves do real well and the elastic wrist will usually last a year if you wash them after use, with soap n the hose. I can do a lot of small things like tying leaders or whatever without a problems. The next pair which I have used this year is a Lowes brand black and dark grey rubber dipped glove. They have a velcro wrist strap which i like and an elastic type material on the top of the glove which keeps them snug. I really like these gloves and I will buy another pair for next year. I think they cost $18. My 2 cents.

it's funny at first almost everyone hates trying to kayak fish with gloves...had to MAKE my gal wear them at first as well as some newb friends.....but after the first day...you would never want to be out there without em...after a 3 day otw weekend...little line cuts and fin pokes and hook tip pokes...without gloves your hands are toast...even with gloves multiple days otw eat em up

Mike I saw those gloves on the left in your pic above,in your Branson pics and wondered what brand

They look like the wrist strap would help me with sleeve falling out troubles

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.  I already use lip grippers and still somehow get poked by the fish occasionally.   I will try the glove suggestions  .

I wear basically the same ones that Wingshooter showed above and have no issues other than I can't get the fish smell out of them after a couple trips even if I use soap and water!

They even make em with conductive material to work with smartphone.

Man hands...

I usually keep mine in my purse right next to my testosterone pills.

I think the correct term is Murse or man purse.

I can't wear gloves while fishing, I can't tie knots, I can't operate the camera....

I use the thin black Nitrile dipped gloves- just like the thicker rubber dipped ones, but these are much thinner.  They are about $5 at San Lorenzo Lumber on 41st in Santa Cruz (really Soquel, I suppose).  I bought about 6 pairs for $10 total at Costco in the Spring in the garden dept.   I get the extra large ones for gardening and working with tools, they fit my palms better,  but just the large for fishing so they fit tighter to my finger tips so I can tie knots with them on.  Yes, you can poke a fishhook or spine through them, but it's pretty hard to do.  They'll save your hands from most of the dings, and from the sun as well. 
     I just throw them in the washing machine with all my other fishing apparel, add some soap and Dollar Store fabric de-smeller stuff or baking soda or vinegar(in the softener hole) or both, sometimes.
