Neoprene Gloves

Once I started fishing in the colder months I quickly realized that my hands were the only thing I really had to worry about. There is lots & lots of stuff out there to keep everything warm and dry. When you’re fishing though your hands are typically exposed & wet. At first I thought wool would be a good choice. I tried the fingerless gloves full gloves with just a finger tip or 2 cut off. None of it worked. I always ended up having to stop & warm my hands up, usually under my arm pits or something. I gotta tell ya that SUCKS!!! nothing like opening up whats warm to stick something that’s cold in to wake you up.

A friend of mine suggested I use neoprene gloves. So I headed up to gander mountain and found some really cheap ones. $7.99 a pair. I bought 2 just to try some different configurations. The first one I tried I’m very happy with. All I did was cut off the tip of the thumb so I could feather the spool when I cast. I’ll tell you what no matter how wet the gloves get my hands stay warm. It’s great. The only thing that does suck a little bit is when I’m scooting across the lake. The wet gloves can get kinda cold but as soon as I stop they warm up really quick again.

So if you fish in the cold I highly recommend getting some neoprene gloves. Your hands will love you for it!
