Mako gloves for Florida lobstering?

[Nick Steele]

Okay so I’ve had a pair of hammerhead amarra gloves the past two or three years and I am now looking for another pair since hammerhead stopped making them.

I’ve heard wonderful things about mako and was curious if these gloves would hold up to the abuse of lobster diving in Florida?

Ive used both cloth gloves and the ones with the rubber palms. If you go cloth they feel much better, but your going to ruin them. Maybe not the first, or even 5th day, but you will get holes in them.

The ones with rubber palms will hold up, but you do lose some comfort and flexibility.

Most people I know like the rubber palms.

I never liked standard lobster gloves. This mini season I have to use these hammerhead gloves

The rubber underside is somewhat puncture resistant but not like the old gloves.


These are the Mako gloves I’m looking at.

I like the Velcro wrist but curious how the undersides will hold up to lobsters.

Yea I have the hammerhead gloves, but the Mako gloves look nice on the palms that may be a good alternative. I am not in love with the Hammer gloves cause when I am spearing I hate the rubber underside.
