Well hello fellow fisherfreaks. It's been awhile since I have posted anything. I got busy with a new ministry at our church and of course the baits business has been at its "hay makin' time" lately as well. (Thank you Jesus) I came on the ole forum a few times in between and did not like what I was reading as far as this forum started taking a direction most of us came here to avoid, with folks getting at each other, and shooting darts, etc. so I really stayed away even more for that reason. Along with quite a few of you, I was here to get to watch CCM grow from nothing to something, and have got to know a few of you because of this forum, so I am happy to see the nasty stuff seems to have been a very short season. We really want to keep this place a place for learning and sharing, not shoving and swearing. I know most of you agree with that!
-Nevertheless, on with my post.....
Here are the gloves:

As a few of you know, I have been on a long search now for a great fitting, safe, and durable alternative to the normal gloves most folks tend to wear, and I finally found that alternative. I will warn you, they are pricey, but the features are well worth it- #1 heat protection- these gloves do not look like they would withstand the heat we work with but I assure you not only do they withstand it, they do it better than most gloves I have tried. I can fill an injector and hold it by the barrel for a long length of time with just barely any feeling of warmth, and its a mild warmth at that. #2- Dexterity- I can just about demold any of my baits with these gloves ON. They withstand and protect us from the nasty stuff, but yet in a way we can actually move our fingers. Brilliant! #3- Workmanship- I will tell you I was VERY apprehensive about paying $40 for a pair of gloves, but I am so impressed and happy I did. I just went through an entire wholesale order and these gloves still look brand new. I usually wear between a "large" and "extra large" glove, so I ordered the large and at first they seemed too tight, but after the first use, they molded around my hands and fingers nicely and feel like a perfect fit.
Anyway, I thought I would share my find here for any of you who are interested. If you have more detail questions, PM me- I would love to share any info that may help you.
Glad to be back, by the way...

Shawn it's good to see you back.
Thanks for the info on the gloves.

$40 bucks, huh! My gloves are so cheap every now and then I can smell that acrid odor of burning flesh. $40 is probably a small price to pay.

Thanks for the info. Those are good looking gloves. Pricey, but a lot of times you get what you pay for.
