When I take my wife fishing on a really cold morning, she puts the little hot hands packets between her gloves and the top side of her hand. Supposedly, it helps warm the blood and keeps her hands much warmer.
I have a pair of fingerless gloves that I wear that do pretty good, but I usually just suffer through the cold wishing my hands were warmer. I haven't tried the hot hands yet.
The zippo warmers are supposed to be good to drop in your pockets and warm your hands every so often.
I don't really like fishing with thicker gloves. I'll be watching this post for pointers as well.

If a person could figure out a perfect answer to this problem they could become very very wealthy. I've tried everything and am yet to find the perfect solution.

I recently bought a pair of the Cabela's Guide Wear water proof gloves that have the fingers and thumb mitten. Depending what you're doing you can use the mittens to cover or not cover you fingers or thumb. They're very warm and when you're driving the grip on the mittens work well while steering. When fishing I don't use the mitten on the cast hand but will on the other most times.

I use latex gloves under a pair of Windstopper gloves cabelas makes w no fingers. It's winter, bites are light sometimes, you need to feel them. Get some hand warmers as mentioned also.

If a person could figure out a perfect answer to this problem they could become very very wealthy. I've tried everything and am yet to find the perfect solution. I'm with you...we've tried several things to keep the hands comfortable, and there isn't a solution as of yet. If you find gloves big enough to keep your hands warm, then they are too bulky to fish in. The battery operated heated gloves are also too bulky. This past weekend I took a hot hand packet and stuck it to the inside of my wrist to see if they warm blood flow might help with the problem. It did help, but it didn't cure the problem. My suggestion - tough it out until they get numb. But then retying is quite the task!

The latex gloves are the trick. You can even get the 7mm or 9mm ones too. Harbor freight sells them cheap for a box of 50.

Latex gloves are life savers. I wish I would have discovered their effectiveness much earlier.

I have a pair of Serius gloves, they are great. I used the handwarmers in them a couple of times and they slid into the palm of my hand. I never noticed it until I pulled the gloves off. It worked.

Wilson batting gloves with the fingers cut out. Over black nitrile gloves from Harbor freight. Harbor freight is only place I can find them in XL. Works as good as anything I've used.
I have the Cabelas fishing gloves with no fingers also, but they to bulky.
Bass Pro used to make some really good ones with no fingers but not sure they still sell them.
Thanks, Billy

I use some Snap On grip gloves with just the tip of my right gloves thumb and pointer finger parts cut off. So I can thumb the spool and feel the rod/line. On my left glove I have my pointer and middle finger tip part cut off. I reel my reels not using my thumb. I lightly hold my reel handles between my fingers. I have another pair for my right handed reels.
