What glove works best for bowfishing?

I haven't bowfished for a few years, but I used to use those "no glove" things that slid on the string on top and bottom of the nock.  I didn't like the feel of a wet glove so these worked best for me...Mike

Wrap some ductape over and under your nockpoint, leaving enough space for the nock.

Works like the noglove but cheaper and easier t put on/take of.

Have fun!

I use athletic tape wrapped on the string. Gloves, to me anyway seem to get in the way of taking fish off or I'd forget it in the boat, it would sit in the sun covered in fish parts get stiff and stinky.

NO-GLOVE but a Saunders slick tab works very good. But the no glove is the way to go.

I ALWAYS wear cheap batting gloves on both hands.  You don't want to wrap a wet, slimy hand around that bowfishing line and give a hard tug when the arrow gets stuck in the weeds and mud...trust me.  It will cut the snot out of your hand.  I also get a better grip on slimy critters with the gloves.  I also use the no-glov on my string.  Great combo.

No glove works like everyone else has said. Batting or golf glove works good also. And duck'n is right about the line cutting You. I carry about a 6 or 8 inch dowel rod with me, a couple of wraps around it and You can get all the leverage You need to pull Your arrow free.

For years I just used an old worn out glove. Last year I went to the wet shot glove and really like it.

I use Perfect Fit 380 gloves. They have rubber coated palms and they fit nice and snug. I listed a link to Graingers web site. I hope it works. If not Google Perfect Fit Gloves.
