Thread: Fishing gloves

I bought the sealskins for fishing in Oregon where my hands froze and they are not warm at all. Better luck with a pair of wool gloves, just take off to bait hook.

I've a pair of Glacier's. Can't remember the #, but they work well. Got them off E bay last year

Ditto on those classics.........

I have Glacier too....Ice Bay is what it says on the inside of glove...there a link on the glove too...

Bill, I learned a little trick some years back that really help when fishing with minners, we don't have to suffer as much as we think we do just cause we use live bait. If you keep your skin dry and block the wind you got half the battle won. If I am spider rigging minnows in the dead of the winter, I wear surgical gloves, it keeps water off of your skin and also blocks the wind from getting to your skin, plus if the fish are biting, at the end of the day you don't have to drive home smelling crappie slime on your hands every time you have to wipe your frozen nose. Also if extra warmth is what you are looking for then you can wear a pair of brown jersey gloves and put the surgical gloves on over them, then you get warm dry hands that stay dry and the wind can't reach your skin.

It works!

But I like the smell of crappie and minners on my hands, and nose!!! ;-)

Thanks for a great idea. How is the feel through the gloves tho? Seems like the latex would make the minners hard to handle being slippery and all. I have trouble with my hands grabbing minners some days, especially when they're active.
