I'd like to use a shooting head and a reel full of ~35# braided running line for both floating and sinking lines on stillwaters this summer. So far, so good. BUT, when retreiving this stuff it seems to me I could shred my fingers on the braided shooting line. Not much interested in a floating, skinny, running flyline, especially with a sinking head. What can I wear to protect my fingers? If a fish nails my fly and runs like crazy I'd prefer to not bleed all over the fish and our canoe in landing it. Mittens are too clumsy. Leather gloves don't seem appropriate. Ideas?
Thanks.

Bill
