I usually swear by the latex dipped gloves you can get at walmart for 2$. I know, however, most people hate them. They are awesome to hold line with but can be a little slippery on the tiller. Other problem is if you use them, they get salty, then they get hot in the sun the can leave marks on your bows when you are walking the boat into the water. the only way to get this latex off is to use acetone. Easy answer is to never use a pair after they get "sticky."
