Thumb protection

[bigbarrels]

I bought the thumb dinger but have never used it for an extended period of time......made it tough to pick my nose otw......it just sits there beggin to be used

Anyone ever try painting on a thin layer of SuperGlue? Bad guys use it to hide their finger prints when doing their evil deeds. (As far as I know most members of Congress have not yet caught on to this trick.)

I have spilled some on me before. It usually takes a day or so to wear off so I think it should last through a day of fishing.

I don't think SuperGlue is harmful because medics often use it to close wounds in the field. It is even used by plastic surgeons in place of stitches in some cases.

This is the stuff I get for my manufacturing folks:

Similar to the medical pre-wrap that was referenced above, but not as stretchy (lower rubber content), and much tougher. Another option are leather thumb guards. Pretty cheap and they last forever:

Although I am sure that salt water baths will do a bit to shorten that "forever" lifespan, they should last for quite a while. And at about .83/ea for a pack of 10, they are pretty cheap.

superglue is always in my bag on surf trips you can pretty much seal anything up with it.....

If you are thinking of using super glue then just jump to liquid bandaid. It sticks to your skin just like super glue but it is much thicker.
