Looking for a pair of gloves to fish in, in the winter. Can anyone tell me what gloves they suggest that keeps their hands warm but not a problem casting etc. Thank you.

In my experience, I can't fish with any gloves that keep my hands warm. I wear cotton liner gloves with that sticky pattern on the palms. They prevent my hands from freezing but are not warm. I can't use a bait caster with a pair of heavy winter gloves.

Tried all kinds of gloves the 20 plus years I was guiding. Wound up using fingerless ragg wool. Hands stayed fairly warm and had the dexterity to do what was needed.

Yeah, fingerless wool has been the best bet for me as well. Not super warm but warm enough on most days.

Glacier Gloves is what I normally use paddling... they make a fingerless. My hands are always wet and carry a mitten type that I can stick my hands in with chemical warmers to warm up and then change back to the fingerless. Looking at the ones below to warm up instead of mittens and warmers.

+1 on the Glacier Gloves. Get the fingerless “flip-back” version. They have a mitten top that covers the fingers when fingers ain’t needed…like moving spot to spot. Then the mitten flips back onto the back of the hand and exposes the fingers and the thumb part flips back too, allowing spool control on baitcasters.

I usually just cut the mitten part off, since it gets in my way

I found the cotton with surgical gloves under them work best for me

Hatch NS430 Specialist shooting gloves. You can fish all day with them and they will never get in the way. They may not keep your hands warm in 20 degree temps, but they do a darned good job in 32 degrees. Around $20/pair. You can thank me later.

I also here guys who recommend winter golf gloves as a good combination of both warmth and ability to be sensitive enough
for fishing.

Fingerless ragg wool or military wool w/ fingers cut off. Used those in Alaska for many years. On really cold days, slip a chemical warmer pack into the palm side. It'll help warm the blood as it moves towards your fingers. I tried the neoprene gloves and the surgical gloves but the trapped moisture from your hands just makes the cold worse.

Have a pair of neoprene that I made fingerless. Not the warmest but they sure help and doesn't matter much if they get wet.

For duck hunting a pair of fingerless fleece plus the mitten flap is the best compromise I've had have enough warmth and dexterity to operate the gun and the call effectively. I've used them bass fishing in cold, but for crappie you are (hopefully) handling more fish and they get wet.

I use Seal Skins. A fishing guide turned me onto them several years ago. They are really good.

I have been using these, they have a pouch in them that holds a "hot hand". My hands get cold over time, but they are definitely better than nothing. The half fingers are $50-something, these are $16 and are pretty similar

I've used the wool military gloves with the thumb and index finger cut off at the knuckle in cold temps for 50 years. Wool stays warm even if they get damp. Less than 40 degrees keeps me home drinking coffee now.

Bought a pair of Fishoholic cold weather fishing gloves on Amazon a month ago & have worn them on the last 3 trips. They keep my hands pretty warm on those ice cold mornings. They also have fingers that fold back and strap open with velcro which is a must. I would buy them again, but would get 1 size smaller because they fit a little big...

Put a hot hands under a sweat band around your wrist, then wool without the finger tips

In the automotive section of Walmart there is a very thing rubberized glove labeled "gripz." Black in color and thin enouu maintain dexterity. I use those for liners and then I use either cheap knit gloves with fingers cut off or a regular pair of fishing gloves. Get fancy by using some spray adhesive on the palm, fingers and sides of the liners before slipping the knit on. Leaves the top of the hand open for sliding in hot packs. Cheap but effective.

I just can't fish with gloves on although the pro's use them year round, they want the most sensitive rods and line and then wear gloves, I don't get it.

Fish monkey fleece with the same brand liners beneath. Not bulky and I can fish fine with them.

I have tried them all but lately I've been using 5-7 mil thick black nitrile gloves. A snug fit lets you retain dexterity. They keep your hands dry, which is critical to keeping them warm, and the black color really absorbs infrared. Surprisingly warm.

Cheap enough for you to try!
