Good gloves for fishing

[DTack]

Goose52,

Thanks for taking the time to respond, I appreciate that.  It rarely gets under 40 degrees here so I think I'll be good for the majority of my cold weather and I'm sure they'll work better than what I'm using now!

Thanks again!

You bet - good luck with your purchasing decision. I just got home from some evening fishing and was wearing the UA liners in 39 degree temps - no problem...but they were dry and there was no wind.... :

I have Seal Skinz.

Bulky but will keep hands warm.

Carrington, why not do what I do? Don't fish in cold weather???  ;D   ;D   ;D

Good advice indeed ! Last winter, I was out fishing in below-freezing air temps, and water temps in the 30s, fighting problems like all of the rod guides icing up. Not gonna do that this year ;D However, I'm still gonna be out there up until I DO get rod guide ice-up...

I expect 2 new pairs of gloves to arrive tomorrow. First is the Glacier fingerless fleece, the other is Orvis Performance Fleece Fingerless. Ill report back once I see em. Here in California is rarely to cold if its raining so these are just for cold days. Its been in the high 20's low 30's the past week, but thats highly unusual.

[Carrington]

i dont mind the cold anymore since i got used to it so i just dont use my gloves anymore but thanks for all the suggestions.

Ah, to be young again and have good circulation, and no arthritis ... ;D

I've got my gloves on when temps go into the 40s !

my circulation is great due to riding a bicycle alot, but the arthritis is a killer.

i read an article a while ago by skeet reese and he was talking about cold weather fishing he said he wore latex glove like the ones doctors wear under his gloves to keep the moisture out. i havent tried it yet but it sounds like a good plan maybe the ua liners and latex underneath

[Wayne P.]

OH-, been-there-done-that. The latex gloves make your hands sweat (can't breathe) and that will make them feel COLDER if you are in near or freezing temps.

Just got home from a couple hours fishing. I wore the Seirus gloves - the temps were around 38deg and no wind or rain. Not too bad as long as you were moving your hands - just a bit of sting from the fingertips. I was using a BC rod and after about 90 minutes the sting was getting a bit worse so I added an outer glove over the Seirus glove on my left hand (that holds the rod) to get that hand a little warmer. The cranking hand had only the Serius glove and was staying warmer due to the cranking activity.

My Orvis three layer fleece fingerless gloves have arrived. They are very nice and will serve well here in Nor Cal. Usually if its raining temps are in the 50's. If its clear it can be a bit colder and the gloves will work great.

I have been reading a lot of good reviews on the under armour cold gear liner gloves on the Internet .I always viewed there products as being a little over priced (24.99) but they seem to get favorable reviews every where i look.I am hoping some of the guys on here who own a pair will post a review on how effective they are at keeping your finger tips warm.

THEY ARE AMAZING! I love anything made by UA. I ride amateur sportbike road course racing in the 750cc class. I have a one piece UA suit, face mask, and gloves to wear.

YES! They are on the pricey side but they are worth every bit. I normally wear a pair of the gloves with it gets cold with the right hand thumb tip cut off (fishing with baitcaster)....of course with the long sleeve UA shirt and sometimes the pants, but in FL it doesn't get cold enough that normal jeans and some high socks won't keep you warm enough.

For the past 5 years I've used the L.L Bean Winbloc Converta-Mitts and highly suggest them for use wehn fishing in the winter. I have no problems using a baitcaster while wearing these. Also, if you add a good pair of liner gloves, they work great when driving the boat.

Just got home from fishing and for sure have discovered the "floor" for the Seirus gloves. Air temp was 26 and no wind or rain (water temp was 38 btw). 10-15 minutes only until the fingertips started stinging, even with an outer glove on the left (rod) hand). Just the Seirus glove on the right (cranking) hand.

Kept fishing for a total of about 30-35 minutes and had to give up. Fingers stinging really bad, rod guides icing up (dunked rod in water after every second cast), and BC reel line guide icing up (had to keep exhaling on the guide to "de-ice" it). Not much fun and no bites.

It's clear that this winter I will only be going out when the air temps are above 32 for sure :-/

The best things for me hands down are my FootJoy winter golf gloves.  They are thin enough to thumb the line on a baitcaster yet keep your hands warm.

I use the rubber soled gloves from Walmart or lowes. Use them for everything. Waterproof and cheap. Fairly warm but I cant fish with gloves. Cheap enough to try a pair.
