OK, after fishing more than I have in a long time, I am starting to get a bad case of "bass thumb". Not to sound like a girl (and no offense to the girls on the site), but do any of you wear a type of lightweight glove for this specific reason? No kidding, this s*** hurts and on both hands! Neosporin is only a temporary help. Just wondering and go easy on me.

Man that's ugly looking. I would definitely keep the antibiotic on that and avoid contact with water and fish to avoid infection. Your best bet may be to get a box of latex exam gloves from Costco. I have the Glacier Shade gloves also, available in the fly fishing section at Bass Pro. Although truthfully, they really aren't designed for heavy wear and with cut away finger tips they won't really protect your thumb, but they may help prevent that rash on your palm.
