I'm just wondering what kind of gloves everyone uses for setting traps and what is the reason they use those particular gloves.

I have a set of rubber gloves I use. Keeps my sweat of the trap and the mud off me I have worn cotton "jersy" gloves befor to. Didnt notice any difference to be honest.

I like the pigskin leather, but have used about everthing, whatever is comfortable for you....B....

Caught em with everything also, jerseys, leather, and rubber. Now I wear wrist length rubber just because they keep my hands dry. Rain and mud doesn't go thru them!

I always use a pair of setting gloves (rubber) and a pair of luring and baiting gloves (cotton). An old trapper once told me if your hands smell like lure and bait at the end of the day than I am not beeing clean enough. I just took his advice.

I also change to lure. I should of specified, rubber to set, jersey to lure and urine!

I myself use no gloves when setting traps, and have never had a problem with scent contamination. If gloves gives you that extra confidence when making sets then use them.

Seems this has been debated a while back in the days of WileyE and Asa and alot of good info resulted from it.

Keep this topic at the top.

Better yet ask Hal.LOL

I use a pair of leather work gloves to set traps, and lure bare handed. Works for me!

Cotton gloves to set, barehanded luring.

Nitrile gloves underneath leather. Leather to set, pull off, nitrile underneath to lure, put leather back on over nitrile. One pair of nitriles will last all day, if you don't snag 'em.

I like rubber dipped cotton gloves for comfort setting and building, lure bare handed.

I just found a sweet pair of k-9 gloves. they are cotton mesh on the back, and rough rubber on the palms and fingers, keep your hands dry when setting in mud, and smell proof because of the rubber. I love them. very flexible and form fitting, just like a jersey glove. warm too.

I LIKE RUBBER TO SET MY TRAPS AND ANOTHER PAIR OF COTTON GLOVES WITH RUBBER COATING TO PLACE MY LURE .

I like leather,really protects the hands.

Leather for set makeing, and brown chore gloves for lureing.
