Pretty much any dive glove with some grip on them. I use Riffe dive gloves with the kevlar palms. They are great for keeping the spines of the fish out of my hand as well.

Go get a couple pair of cheap gloves usuallyorange with the silicone rubber all over them. The local stores have them for around three or four dollars. E-Bay you can get them buy the dozen for about Twenty bucks with shipping.

instead of changing gloves, get some rubber tape and put a few wraps down the gun. that will give a spot for your hands to grip to. thats what i do to mine when i got the keys and i use the pole spear exclusively

I use the riffe gloves also and they are great. I also on my pole spears take a small amount of wire and wrap it in a spiral around the pole at the maximum stretch point, then I take 3/4" adhesive lined heat shrink tubing and slide it over the wire. I then take a heatgun (a hair dryer will work) and shrink the tubing over the wire. This creates a fantastic waterproof grip that especially with gloves you can hold back all day without cramping or slipping.

I prefer cheap rubber palm grippy gloves you buy at wal mart in the landscaping section. Cost 3 bucks and get the job done as well as $30.00 gloves, trust me I have used both.

my favorite also. gloves for divers that dive hard last what, 2 years. with these they will maybe last all year. if not go spend another 3 bucks.
