I was wondering what you anglers do in the winter months to help prevent the coldness in the hands when out fishing, i love fishing but hate cold hands as i find it hard to keep the retrieve at a steady pace if tweaking/F08, so what do you use when this happens, i have thought about neoprene gloves but would these not be abit ackward when it come to reteiving and striking ETC so if you guys have any advice on what to do or what works best for cold hands i would be very greatful,


Thanks in advance,


Niall

I use just normal gloves with the fingertips cut off them lol

Put a layer of vaseline on your hands and rub it well in ,

Sounds fun ... who do you rub it in to?

Good idea Hobble i have thought along the lines of that before and i did try deep heat but when i needed to take a whizz i found out it was a bad idea

I will deffo try it the next time im out which i hope will be shortly,

Once rubbed some Deep Heat on my knee one night before going to bed then forgot to wash my hands.

It wasn't long before I started engaging in some foreplay with the missus. After a few minutes she jumped up screaming and fled to the bathroom where I could hear copious amounts of water being splashed about

I wear wither fingerless wool gloves or in cold weather, mittens that have the finger and thumb flaps that fold back to expose the fingers when needed.

Wool is the best material because it does not absorb or hold water, just shake the gloves and all the water flies out.
