Rapala Fillet Glove Large NM04902

The Rapala Fillet Glove Large is the kind of smart, confidence-boosting gear that makes filleting feel smoother, safer, and a whole lot more enjoyable. When you’re working with a sharp blade and slick skins, control matters—but so does peace of mind. This glove is built to help protect your hand from slicing injuries during filleting, so you can focus on clean cuts, better yields, and a more comfortable rhythm at the cleaning table.

What sets it apart is the material: it’s made from Rapala’s Tuff-Knit yarn, a comfy blend of natural and synthetic fibers that’s reinforced with stainless steel for serious cut resistance. That stainless steel component is there for the moments that matter most—when your knife glides fast, when the fish shifts unexpectedly, or when you’re trimming close and precision is everything. The result is a glove that feels flexible and wearable while still offering the protection you want when the blade’s doing its job.

Because it fits either hand, the Rapala Fillet Glove makes setup simple. Right-handed fillet work, left-handed fillet work, or swapping hands as you reposition—this glove’s designed to keep up. The Large size is a great fit for anglers and cooks who want dependable coverage with enough room for comfortable movement. It’s also ideal if you like a glove that doesn’t feel tight or restrictive while you’re working through a pile of fish. And with three sizes available overall, it’s easy to match the fit to your preference, whether you want snug control or a little extra breathing room.

One of the best features for real-world use is that it’s machine washable. Filleting can get messy fast, and keeping your gear clean isn’t just about appearances—it’s about good habits and long-term usability. Being able to toss the glove in the wash helps keep it sanitary season after season, so it stays ready for the next trip, the next cleaning session, and the next big catch. It’s the kind of practical detail that turns a “nice idea” accessory into something you’ll actually use for years.

This glove fits perfectly into any fillet kit, whether you’re cleaning fish at the lake, breaking down a catch at the dock, or prepping fillets at home before the grill heats up. It’s also a smart choice for anyone who’s teaching someone new to filleting. Confidence comes quicker when safety is built into the process, and the right glove can help new anglers and cooks focus on technique without feeling tentative.

The Rapala Fillet Glove Large doesn’t replace good knife skills—it supports them. It’s there to help reduce the risk that comes with sharp edges and quick movements, while still letting you feel what you’re doing. When you’ve got a quality knife in one hand and dependable protection on the other, the whole job feels more controlled from the first cut to the final trim.

Add a layer of protection you’ll appreciate every time the blade comes out.
