Gloves That You Can Feel Rod With

[Blues19]

Not too sure that this should go in this forum, but not sure where else to post. Fishing in the early spring is pretty chilly and I am looking for some gloves to at least be a wind break but still be able to feel the bites and everything. Do yall use baseball batting gloves or football gloves or what? Or are yall just beasts and don't use gloves at all?

I got a pair of fingerless fleece gloves from Bass Pro for about 5 bucks. They keep my hands warm enough but I may trim down the fingers so my fingers are more exposed.

We usually have a couple threads each winter about gloves; if you search, you'll find quite a few threads with lots of recommendations.

 

For me, I use thinner gloves in milder weather and still have reasonable sensitivity. The gloves shown, Seirus on the left, Under-Armor glove liner on the right, both are thin, but provide some warmth and keep the wind off your hands. Both work OK (for me) down to about the 40 deg range, depending on wind. Once it gets in the 30s or lower, I usually have to add an outer glove over the thin gloves.

 

This morning, I was fishing in 27 deg. air temps with the Under Armor liners inside a fleece outer.

I wear some fingerless gloves that also have a rubberized web pattern on them. FInd they do the job when it gets chilly and I even wear them in the summer sometimes.

Beast here... Foot Joy makes a golf glove designed for play during southern winter months.

I noticed you're from Missouri... if you want a tip from the north...

 

Duct tape a chemical heating packet to the inside of your forearm just above the wrist (where your blood vessels are closest to the skin surface).  Wear a long-sleeve thin knit shirt between the heating packet and your arm.  Fold the end of the duct tape back a couple of inches and fold over on itself to provide a free tab to pull the tape off quickly if it begins to burn your arm (or you taped it too tightly).  If you cast with your dominant arm and reel with the other (don't change hands to cast) you only need to heat one hand and can keep the other covered with a heavy glove.

Thanks for the tip, will try it next time i'm out.

I use the Seirus Hyperlite gloves for cold weather fishing, they are water resistant and thin enough for good feel.

 

The issue I have is not so much the temp, but the water spray off the reel when casting. Those gloves take care of that and they are breatheable so your hands don't sweat.

A good set of mechanix gloves is what I use.

I got a tip from Alton Jones which said to use golf gloves.  Picked up a pair and haven't gone back.  They are lightweight and you can feel the bite and cast just fine.

I use a pair of Simms gloves. They are mittens which fold back to expose fingerless gloves and the thumb folds back as well. They are also windstopper and polartec. Little pricey at 60 bucks but they keep me warm on the run to my spots, and keep my hands warm once I get there to fish.

I always use Mizuno batting gloves. Very soft and you still have a good feel when the fish bites.

Nice tip.

Got these too. Wish I'd bought more. $5.00 was a steal.

I have 3 pairs of these with me at all times, if one pair gets wet I just change them out. Probably some of the best fishing gloves I've ever owned.
