Performance & Advantages
Compared to standard fishing gloves, the KastKing Gill Raker model provides superior sun protection (UPF50+), quick-drying breathability, and improved tactile sensitivity thanks to the half-finger cut. The robust palm material increases glove lifespan and reduces wear—especially important for handling spiny fish, rough gear, or tackle. Enhanced grip means safer handling of rods and fish, and less fatigue over long outings.
