Cold Hands/Winter Fishing Gloves?
So I have been fishing for a long time and do most of my fishing in the winter time and still have not been able to have my hands stay warm for a full trip. I own several Glacier gloves and even Glacier fingerless mitts. I have heard of people wearing Nitrile gloves to help with keeping hands dry, but does this really work. Should I be stuffing hot hands in my wrists?
What do you guys do to keep your hands warm without sacrificing sensitivity especially when Blackfishing? I'm not complaining just wondering if I could be doing something better to keep the fingers from freezing. Thanks,

Re: Cold Hands/Winter Fishing Gloves?
I can't fish with gloves on at all just can't do it. With that said I wear a hoody and I. The front pouch I put a hand warmer in I just alternate hands back and forth all day, when I start to get a hit I put two hands on rod, but while waiting I hold the hand warmer and it works better then any glove.

Re: Cold Hands/Winter Fishing Gloves?
keeping them dry is a must.i don't like wearing gloves when I fish at all.heated hand rails are a great thing and having a few good rags with ya helps a bunch too.

Re: Cold Hands/Winter Fishing Gloves?
I also do not like wearing gloves, but once temps drop below freezing its very difficult to keep hands warm especially after cracking some crabs. I love the heated rails but this isn't going to help on charter boats.

Re: Cold Hands/Winter Fishing Gloves?
yes that crab juice dose wonders when it 17 out.if your gonna use gloves of any kind use mittens that way you are using the heat of your whole hand instead of each finger being covered.

Wool gloves with the fingertips cut off is what I wear if I have to.

Re: Cold Hands/Winter Fishing Gloves?
Like bukerdunker said keeping them dry is the secret. Try a dab of Vaseline and rub it in good. Not only helps to repel water but also prevents chapped hands. Fished mostly for cod and that's what we did in the winter.
