What kind of gloves do you use?

[tisch008]

My gloves are cheapie ski gloves. No matter what, after about 15 minutes out, my fingers get cold. I like the dexterity of gloves so I do not want to switch to mittens.

What do you guys recommend?

I use thin gloves and a muff. Put a couple of heat packs in there and you are good to go

I buy wells lamont all purpose knit gloves for work (const). they are white and come in packs of 12 pair for about $12. they are reversable and fit my hands tight so they are easy to work with them on. I often use them doubled up. and with 12 pair I allways have a dry pair handy. cheap and warm!

I use fingerless gloves and a heater, the mr heater cooker one, puts out some serious btu's on a disposable lp tank.

I use wells lamont brown jersy red flanel lined with the open wrist, I buy them one size too big so that they are easy to get off, carry two extra pair in my pockets to change to if they get wet. when fishing out in the open face the sun if it is out, thy will absorb heat from the sun. but it works for me.

I use glomitts (glove-mittens) that I get at Wal-Mart. They are half fingered gloves with a mitten part that flips over your fingers when they get cold. I usualy buy the camo ones but they also have knitt ones. These gloves alow you to do some work to get set up then you can take them off when you get set up or flip the mitten part over when your done working.

As others have mentioned, I like fingerless gloves and thin gloves with a muff or handwarmer pockets. But the gloves I wear the most are elkskin gloves, both lined and unlined. Very warm, easy to get them on and off when you need to.

I like to use the black stretch type gloves 2 pair for under $2 at wal-mart with choppers over them then I can fling the choppers off and run for the flag. The stretch gloves dry fast and are very small when in your pocket. If I am using a pole I like to use the ever famous fingerless gloves.

If I am tip-up fishing(most of the time for me) and it's colder, I sometimes wear latex surgical gloves inside my Alaskan Wolf mitts. The surgical gloves allow me to bait hooks, remove fish etc. without ever getting my skin wet and I can slip the mitts off easy since they are pretty large. Then, I can use the mitts to kneel on too! Surgical gloves are also handy for working on cold metal such as engines, nuts & bolts etc. where you really need bare hands. The surgical gloves are thin enough to do most anything you need to do that normally would require bare hands, but they are a nice barrier againt very cold metal. If I am jigging, I usually have my mr. heater cooker near by and just go with thin gloves as others above do.

The gloves I use are an off brand name. They have about 40 grams of thinsulate in them and are warm. They have the fingerless tips on the hand and a slit on the thumb so that the thumb isn't always exposed to the elements. Then there is a mit part that covers over the fingerless part.

I have yet to find a pair like em'. They are real similar to what Wal-mart, Fleet-Farm, etc. carry- but none have the slit in the thumb.

I could go on and on about these gloves and not ever being able to find em' or IF I were you, I would buy some similar to em' and put a slit in the thumb yourself.

But then again that would be to much work and not as much fun as trying to find em'!

That sounds like the ones I got from Wal-Mart a year or two ago. Mine have the Remington brand name on them and are Camo. Weather or not they are accually remington who knows I didn't look at them closely maybe they are Raminton or Remintin But mine do have the slit in the thumb. I need a new pair now I supose I won't be able to find them. I think ya cursed me Captian

I got a pair of neoprene gloves for my birthday this year and love them. I can't do real fine things like tie knots, but they have the best dexterity of any gloves that I have had. Plus, I can reach right down the hole (almost to my elbow) going after a fish or something I dropped. They are also wind proof, so my hands are always warm. They aren't quite as tough as leather would be, but most of the time I don't need that.

The neoprene gloves are great especially for pulling them 10 lb lakers up outta the hole! They arent great for dexterity, and they do keep your hands surprisingly warm. I have taken to making sure I have them with me on all my early-mid spring trips as well.

Regarding the mitts with the thumb slit, I bought a pair at Gander for my son this fall. They had plenty at that time..

There are 2 things that I use. 1) Buckskin choppers. Keep your fingers warm and they are durable. 2) I have one of those hand warmer things you tie around your waist that you stick your hands into. Works great. Keeps my fingers warm. Especially on those colder days when the panfish are jumping out of the hole.

I wear a Polypropylene liner under my neoprene gloves. Never get cold or wet hands... best thing since sliced bread

[rap]

usually none. lol. always seems to be a mess trying to hook minnows with them, so i usually freeze my hands till i can't feel them, then run to the heater . otherwise, i used to use mad dog water proof gloves, but they don't have much insulation. found some waterproof ones now that actually stay warm, they're made by whitewater outdoors
