Patent attributes
A glove comprising integrated features specifically designed for use while ice fishing is herein disclosed. An outer covering comprises a durable material of construction, such as leather, that stands up to the rigors of ice fishing and is also coated with a flexible plastic coating to help keep a user's hands dry. The glove is lined for warmth. A finger tip region of the glove is left open to allow the passage of a user's digits, thereby allowing dexterity when tying lures or handling fishing line. A palm region comprises an integral and retractable ice pick, which extends outward from the side of the palm, opposite the thumb, and is automatically gripped when the user closes their hand and makes a fist. The pick is extended by a spring-loaded mechanism that the user locks in place for safety. As such, the ice pick can be used to safely pick through any ice at a fishing hole or be used for similar ice-related tasks.
