    Hi,

    AKONA actually makes a Bug Hunter Glove. You can see it at Welcome to AKONA Adventure Gear!

    There are other gloves to consider as well.

    They are really about the same for durabilty. The Bug Hunters have neoprene on the back of the hand while the All-Armor Tex are made with no neoprene. It is really a question of what is more comfortable at this point. I don't think one is going to last longer than the other.

    Which thickness of Bug Hunter gloves is suitable for lobster in the sloping caribbean reefs if you hunt only 1-2 times a year?
    Also, I can't seem to find a tickle stick that is retractable and has a loop. Any suggestions? Thanks.
