We designed the AFTCO JigPro Jigging Glove with three things in mind – comfort, protection, and durability. Anyone who has spent a day jig fishing knows the toll that it takes on the hands. Whether it’s constant reeling, line manipulation, or exposure to sun and salt – all of these factors can dramatically impact the quality of your time on the water.
To combat this, we’ve incorporated several key features in the JigPro Jigging Glove to maximize your performance. First, for comfort, we’ve included a stretch UPF50 fabric to the back of the glove with a secure Velcro closure. The stretch material hugs the hand without being bulky, and the UPF50 protects against the harmful rays of the sun. On the palm, we’ve incorporated a synthetic perforated leather palm, which is both extremely durable, but also breathable and fast drying. This synthetic perforated leather is further reinforced in key locations of the palm to eliminate hot spots, and to reduce fatigue in the hand. Additionally, we’ve also reinforced the thumbs and forefingers to protect against cuts from braided line.
Best of all, these gloves were designed for ambidextrous use – whether a righty or lefty, spinning or conventional – these gloves will reduce fatigue, protect your hands, and let you focus on getting that fish to the boat!
Key Features of AFTCO Jig Pro Gloves
- Superior Grip
These gloves offer a high-grip material on the palms, which is crucial for maintaining control over slippery fishing gear. The material helps prevent slippage when handling jigs, heavy lures, or battling large fish. - Enhanced Durability
AFTCO has constructed the Jig Pro Gloves with reinforced stitching and heavy-duty fabrics that withstand the rigors of saltwater environments. This durability ensures the gloves last longer, even when used consistently in rough conditions. - Breathability and Comfort
One of the challenges with fishing gloves is balancing durability with comfort. The Jig Pro Gloves include breathable fabric that helps wick away moisture, reducing sweat and keeping your hands comfortable during extended fishing trips. - Finger Dexterity and Protection
The gloves offer a balance between finger flexibility and protection, allowing anglers to perform intricate tasks without removing the gloves. The thumb and index fingers may have textured material to improve dexterity and sensitivity, aiding in tasks like knot-tying or bait placement. - UV and Sun Protection
Fishing often requires long hours under the sun, and AFTCO has incorporated UV protection into the design of these gloves. This helps protect the hands from harmful sun exposure, reducing the risk of burns.
Practical Benefits
- Improved Performance: The gloves’ grip and durability allow anglers to apply greater force without the risk of slipping or losing control.
- Extended Usage: High-quality materials mean the gloves are built to withstand continuous exposure to saltwater and UV rays, providing longevity.
- Reduced Hand Fatigue: The ergonomic design ensures that the gloves fit snugly, helping reduce hand fatigue over prolonged fishing sessions.
