FISH MONKEY IS THE INDUSTRY’S FIRST AND LEADING LINE OF PERFORMANCE FISHING GLOVES DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR CAPTAINS, DECKHANDS, PROFESSIONAL GUIDES, RECREATIONAL ANGLERS AND EVEN THOSE WHO CLEAN FISH AND PERFORM MAINTENANCE DUTIES.
FISH MONKEY IS THE FISHING GLOVE SPECIALIST
Enter Fish Monkey, the fishing glove specialist. Recognizing the need for high-performance fishing gloves that fit well and functioned even better, Fish Monkey founder, Tim Mossberg, a hard-core fishing enthusiast himself, has built an extensive line of fishing gloves for all fishermen.
The fact is, every fisherman, from professional to weekend warrior, needs protection from the sun. While fishing shirts and sunglasses that offer such sun protection are the norm, and face guards are catching on, our hands, because they are especially exposed while using a fishing rod, are the last vulnerable part of our bodies we need to protect.
SUN PROTECTION THAT IS UNMATCHED
All sun protection, however, is not created equal. Sun protection is a function of two things, the actual weave of the fabric and a fabric treatment that is applied as the garment is being made. The fabrics we use for Fish Monkey gloves feature a much finer weave that better blocks the sun. Yes, this fabric is a bit more expensive but the sun protection is significantly better and well worth the additional cost, especially when one considers that the treatments that others rely on for much of the sun protection in their garments, wears off, especially with washing. Still, we do treat our gloves anyway figuring this treatment can only help. We call this sun protection system LongHaul Life-of-the-Glove Sun Protection which means our gloves will give you the promised sun protection until they are done.
PROTECTION FROM CUTS AND ABRASIONS WITH A FIT YOU’LL FORGET
But it’s not just the sun. As any fisherman knows, after a weekend of fishing, our hands can get pretty beat up. Line cuts, fin pricks, tooth gashes, and the general wear and tear experienced while working with gear, can leave you with some telltale marks and annoying pains.
Fish Monkey fishing gloves protect your hands from both sunburn and these everyday cuts and scrapes. But, importantly, they do so without being a hindrance in any way. We call it the Forget About It second-skin fit. Through meticulous ergonomic design and by using state-of-the-art technologies, materials and fabrics, Fish Monkey has made fishing gloves that are so comfortable and fit so well, that you’ll forget you have them on! After all, no protection works if you won’t wear the gloves, right?
Fish Monkey gloves are a tool of the trade when handling big fish!

Fish Monkey also offers a third big advantage, an incredibly effective non-slip grip. Every Fish Monkey glove features an appropriate high-performance form of non-slip grip. Whether silicone, rubber, synthetic leather or PVC, we call it Griptanite Non-Slip Grip Technology because it really grips!
A good grip means less hand fatigue when grasping a fishing rod for hours on end. It also means a secure grip on railings, anchor lines, dock posts and more. Grip-ability you’ll come to really appreciate.

What Weight Sock Do I Need?
Merino Sock Lineup — Fish Monkey & Hunt Monkey
Quick overview
Premium merino socks engineered for every season and pursuit. Three targeted weights—Lightweight, Medium‑weight, Heavyweight—deliver the right balance of warmth, breathability, and fit for boat days, wader work, and bone‑cold sits.
At a glance
| Weight | Styles | Best for | Performance highlights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lightweight | No‑Show Tab; Crew; Boot Cut; OTC | Warm‑weather fishing, turkey and early season hunts | Breathable; fast‑wicking; low bulk, extra cushion heel and toe |
| Medium‑weight | Boot Cut; OTC | Cool mornings, rubber boots, waders, shoulder‑season hunts | Balanced insulation; moisture control; comfortable with boots, extra cushion footbed, compression fit arch and leg |
| Heavyweight | Boot Cut; OTC | Frigid hunts and ice‑cold water work (to −30°F) | High loft insulation; stays warm when damp; minimal unnecessary bulk. Heavy cushion footbed, compression arch and leg. |
Why choose each weight
- Lightweight: When mobility and ventilation matter—long fishing hours, shock absorbing from pounding waves, or hunt in warm temps. Thin profile fits snugly in performance shoes, deck boots and lightweight hunt boots. Prevents overheating and foot fatigue.
- Medium‑weight: The go‑to for all‑around field use—warm enough for long sits yet breathable for active glassing. Pairs perfectly with rubber boots and waders.
- Heavyweight: Designed for extreme cold without feeling clumsy. High insulating power keeps toes warm on subzero hunts and hard-water fishing trips.
Fit, and boot tips
- For boots and waders: choose Boot Cut or OTC in Medium or Heavyweight for secure fit and reduced bunching.
- For sneakers and deck boots: Lightweight Crew or No‑Show keeps profile low and prevents hot spots.
Key benefits across the line
- Natural moisture‑wicking and odor resistance.
- Arch support and Compression fit to reduce foot and leg fatigue.
- Temperature regulating cool in the heat and warm in the cold.
- Cushion heel/toe or footbed.
- Durable construction: Lifetime Warrantee
