Cold stubby fingers

[Random guy]

Has anyone come across a good glove that is not only water proof but also something you can wear while casting? Every fall I go through this and finaly end up buying three dozen of the brown jersey gloves and keep changing them out as they get wet. Somebody has to make a glove that will work.

Hey jon -

Couple things to try: Get some Sealskins gloves. They're spendy, but you can actually cast with them on without too much trouble (I wear them ice fishing and can put maggots on teardrop without taking them off), and they're waterproof as can be. Another thing to try is get some surgical gloves. That sounds goofy, but they keep your hands a lot warmer than you'd think, and the main thing is they keep your hands dry... I have a friend who swears by them in the fall.

My hands don't get cold very easily, so I just wear fingerless wool gloves, and keep a bunch of them on hand so I can change them out when they get wet. The dash of my truck is usually covered with them from October through March

Cheers,

RK

Dang and I thought I was the only one. I actually wear the surgical gloves under the fingerless gloves. Don't care if the gloves get wet and my fingertips do just fine. Needs to be under 25 degrees for me to resort to the gloves though so it might not work for you Jon. Also the new purple gloves can get you some odd stares. Sorry they don't come in red or pink to my knowledge.

I think when we fished together I was wearing some gloves Hannah picked up for me at Gander. They were just labeled as a Gander brand glove called "The Fishing Glove" that are in a camo pattern. She found them in the fishing section of the Duluth Gander.

So far these gloves have worked great on the colder days I have fished. They are not totally waterproof, but with some surgical gloves underneath they would be bomb proof. I think they ran like 10 bucks or so.

But I would also second the Seal Skins line of gloves!! Very good product!!

Seal Skins! I wore them this past weekend on Vermillion and they worked great. It was snowing and in the low 30's.

Yep. I hear ya Jon. Cold water, baitcaster... I went with the Cabela's GORE-TEX Stretch Camoskin gloves.

100 % guaranteed waterproof. 100 grams thinsulate to keep your hands warm. $ 29.99 . Ordered online, got them in 3 days. Definitely waterproof and warm, these should be the ticket. I got the lead on these from another FM post here. Check them out on Cabela's web site.

My dad accually came up with this neat little trick. All you do is take some glove liners or some thinner gloves and stick them into some of those dishwashing gloves. Keeps the hands warm and dry. Good luck,

What's wong w/ neoprene. Untill you have to take them off.

- Lubricate(no jokes)your hands, they will stay warmer,longer.

Has anyone tried the rubber dipped (blue finger) gloves? I got a pair this weekend but haven't tried them yet.
