Do you wear Gloves when retrieving the Line?

A buddy and I have been wondering how you keep from having the Line "Cut" your hands when BowFishing? Do you wear gloves, or just use a Line with a large enough Diameter to prevent Cuts?

Thanks folks. I've spent a lot of time in the Rain and have had a good many Line Cuts due to my hands getting "soft" as they absorb moisture. And my Line Cuts seem like they take a very long time to heal. I was conserned you all would think it was a really off-the-wall question.

When you shoot with Gloves on your hands, do you still use the "No Gloves"(or the new product at Backwater) on the Line? I'm going to "guess" - yes.

I never use gloves,just bare hand retrieve.My partner always uses gloves,just wish he'd wash them once in a while,those boys get nasty after a trip or two and he usually leaves them in my rig for the next trip.
