THE BASS COLLEGE

I was not to sure where to post this... went fishing today and it was close to 50 degrees. Some how my hands did get very cold and i was wondering what you guys use for gloves during cold weather fishing?

I just let my fingers freeze haha. I should get a pair also.

simms gloves are the best to me

shooot 50 degree weather? I'm wearing a long sleeve tee and sweatpants!  it's usually below freezing when I fish for steelhead up in NY and lately it's been mid 30's here.  The gloves I found work best I got from walmart.  Full wool mittens that have finger cut outs.  So you can use them as gloves (with the mitten part velcroed back) or full out winter mittens.  Best part, the wool doesnt retain water and dries quickly after reaching in to get a fish.  Especially important when holding those trout a minute or two to let them regain their strength.  If you look at some of my last reports, you'll see the ones I'm wearing/talking about.

Wool half-finger gloves or neoprene if it's raining and cold.

Waterproof golfers gloves............ your welcome. 

^ Scottie, I'll have to look into those for sure!

None . LOL Hate Gloves. never wore them, couldn't fish right.

There thin, waterproof and a nice snug fit. You'll love 'um.

I need a good pair, might need to check out those gloves your talkin bout scottie. Waterproof is the way to go...nothing worse than wet gloves.

i dont really wear gloves any more because the hook always gets hooked in them

@ Scottie, any brands in particular you'd suggest?  I use to wear batting/golf gloves but theyre too thin, wind goes right right the holes in them. plus when wet, they're useless

What To Look For

Keeping your hands warm during winter golf play fishing is essential to the touch and feel of your game. Look for gloves that are water repellent, windproof and have an elastic Velcro strap to adjust before shots casts. Stretch-knit cuffs on a glove trap heat in for increased warmth. Find premium leather in the palm and index finger to give you a better grip, soft feel and durable glove. To avoid a bulky glove, search for lightweight insulating fleece that provides maximum warmth with a thin layer.

 The type of leather used to make a golf  fishing glove can be important. If you're looking for a high-end glove, you'll probably want Cabretta leather. Cabretta leather is thin, with good gripping qualities. Weather-related golf gloves are made of many materials. For instance, FootJoy's RainGrip gloves use microfiber materials to battle "wet or humid conditions." FootJoy also makes WinterSof gloves for cold conditions. These gloves have a Cabretta leather palm and a Thinsulate outer shell for added warmth.

Get a pair of bass pro fingerless fleece gloves for 4.99, youll never regret it.

Mechanics gloves work and X amour tight fits are great. Always could use jersey gloves. 1 dollar a pair,just get plenty if they get wet. The only gloves that I have found to keep my hands dry are neoprene gloves but the are not very casting friendly.

Under Armour liners. The best.
