So I took my first hit last week from lionfish. It's got me thinking about gear changes. There are 3 things I want to change.
1) Get a zookeeper as an upgrade from the lame Mako Spearguns lionfish/lobster hotel bag.
2) Get a longer spear. I have the Mako 3ft spear. I want a longer one where you can pick the length by screwing the pieces together or not.
3) Gloves. I want some gloves which provide additional protection.
On topic #3, does anyone have any advice? I was thinking along the lines of something like this:
Wells Lamont 551L Cut Resistant Work Gloves, Kevlar Glove Dipped in Nitrile Rubber, Large - Cut Resistant Safety Gloves - Amazon.com
I'm curious if it would help prevent a poke in the rubber area.
I saw someone filet lionfish without cutting the poisonous fins, but had kevlar gloves on. It got me thinking, why can't I just wear something like that underwater? Thoughts?
