I love fishing this time of year. I used to be able to fish with no gloves right through the winter, just opting for 'HOT HANDS' in my jacket pockets and breaking every 10-15min for a quick 'warm up'. Can still somewhat do this if vertical jigging, but casting like this IS OUT.

I guess age is catching up with me because I have a rough time fishin efficiently now that my hands are freezing. I've tried using my old duck hunting gloves (neoprene) but they are just too bulky to have good 'feel' on my reel spool/handle. I've tried latex, and they do keep hands dry, but NOTHING for the cold.

What do you guys use?
 
Im interested in this also. I have a pair of guidewear fingerless gloves that are ok. Still somewhat uncomfortable though.
 
Wool is warm even when wet. Fleece is not. I'm lucky enough to still have good circulation and don't need gloves
 
I wear my summer sungloves for winter fishing. They wick away water so good my hands can stay somewhat malleable.
I tried winter gloves and they are just too thick for me.
 
I've been using "Glacier Glove Alaska River Fingerless Gloves" and have be very please so far. The very tips of fingers still get cold. Still the best I've used so far. I picked them up at BassPro last year.
 
I had some good ones for years and like a dummy I let them blow out of my boat this fall. I don’t know what brand they were but finally found a replacement at Sportsman Warehouse, they have a good selection.
 
I've used for fishing the white river (bass pro brand) wool fingerless they come down to the last joint on your fingers and even wet are great ,I carry a couple of pair so I can change through out the day also,their only like 5 bucks and the best I've used over the years
 
+1 on Seirus gloves. I like the compression style - super warm, good wind break, work well when wet. They're made of polypropylene - the same material used in high performance cold weather underlayers. ABout $20 at your local Cabela's or REI store.
 
100 mph with hand warmer, not bulky, fit well, grip is fair, water resistant & great wind resistance. Thinner & lighter , under armor........... emoGeezer emoUSA
 
I use thick ski gloves when running down the lake. I use a pair of latex/rubber surgical gloves under. And when I stop to fish, I take the ski glove off and use just the surgical glove. This is second year I’m doing this and it has made a world of a difference for me. If my hands get cold I’m done on the water, and this solution has made a big difference for me. I keep a box in my boat because they do tend to rip and break so I just take it off and put a new one on.

I usually keep my hand warmers in my ski gloves. So when i put them back on they are nice and warm.
 
REALLY great feedback, I appreciate at the info. Almost overwhelmed by all the information. I will get started on these ideas and see what works best for me.

Merry Christmas!
 
I 2nd the under armour liner gloves. If it’s really cold I wear the 100 mph gloves from BPS when running spot to spot. They keep your hands very warm.
 
My brother-in-law graciously gifted me a $35 GC for Cabelas. For you guys that suggested UA liner-gloves, which ones are preferred? (see below). Neither appear to be in stock at the moment, but I will give one of these a shot.

Golf gloves

....also meant to mention, this one really intrigues me. Did some research on these today and there appears to be some decent looking cold weather offerings out there for relatively cheap. Will also pick up a pair of these just to say they got tried. Checked the ones in my golf bag (that hasn't been touched in 10 years) and the gloves in there aren't fit for chew toys for my dog.

Saw several reviews of guys using these for GOLFING in ILLINOIS in JANUARY, and kept these guys playing in comfort. That's just ridiculous.
 
I carry 2 pair of fleece gloves, 1 pair of wool fingerless gloves, and some heavy goretex cabelas gloves every trip. When running I wear the heavy gloves, and when fishing I use the fleece gloves or wool gloves. If they get too wet I just rotate them out. I like the lighter gloves like fleece because I can effectively thumb my baitcasters. Yea they get wet from cast mist, but just change them out. They have good feel. Eventually you will wear the thumb out and have to retire them.
