Hey, Bill....

These are the best finger protectors we've run across since sliced bread! :D

Paul has used 2 on the boat since the 2007 ISE in January. Ask Andy about them. He used one when he went out with us...

Can you stock them at the store? 8)

Bill..... I'm with Mrs.Finsallaround on this one. I have been looking for something better then the lycra finger sleeves for years now. They wear out and stay uncomfortably wet on your finger :( making it look all white and wrinkly after a couple of hours . This new gamaktsu product looks like a good alternative. If you haven't already ordered some, please do [-o< ........Anne

I vote yes on these also, I get tired of licking my finger to keep it wet so I do not get line burns.

Paul was in today talking about it. We will be getting some soon.


Paul says he has 9 days off and will be down in the Delta most of it.

Um...................My buddy burned a hole in his on Sunday on the delta. It was his favorite until then. He used it once before. I couldn't believe he trashed it in one day. It was messed up.

I had no problems with a little lyrca sleeve.

Sorry, we do not ship out of the USA for now.

That might change some day.

We sent a package to Canada for a customer who paid us by credit card and were back charged (import duties?) by DHL for $130usd. We lost big time on that transaction.

I will never use DHL for that reason too.

I had to pay that or get a bad credit rating.

We will not ship out of the USA till we get better professional information.

I think some of the bigger online stores will ship out of the country.

Overseas fraud is rampant too.

I got one of this Finger Protector... to be honest I did not like it. It is too large, and the fixation velcro gets on the way of my wrist and mess up the casting stroke (at least for me).

The waterworks lamson striper glove is much better for this purpose.
