    My favorite were Frabil FXE task gloves but can’t find them anymore

    Fingerless wool works great for me.

    Striker Second Skins are what I have found to work for me. I had the Frabil FXE as well but they are no longer available flame . So I went with these and have been happy going on my 3rd year.

    There are a lot of good options out there. I have a set of striker gloves that are great. Wear a pair of rubber gloves underneath and your hands will never be cold.

    Latex gloves under a set of Amazon fingerless wool gloves are my go-to when it’s not blistering cold. I posted a link below. The latex keeps the hands dry and free from the wind. The wool gets wet but dries easily after every trip, sometimes by simply setting them up near the truck windshield defroster on the way home. These are really nice when it comes time for panfishing, threading eurolarvae, adjusting tiny plastics, tying knots, etc.

    I use my Striker Second Skins more for late-fall musky fishing. They’re not very warm at all and merely water-‘resistant’, not waterproof as advertised.

    I have a pair of Simms fingerless gloves with the mitten pouch that you can slide over the fingers. They’re really nice. I carry these as a backup.

    There are tons of cheap neoprene options out there. The ones I’ve tried are super waterproof but not very warm. I have some neoprenes with a couple fingertips cut off. They don’t get used much. Last time used was deer hunting.

    Best cold-weather gloves I’ve ever owned are Striker Combat Gloves. I wear those a lot when hole hopping walleyes or riding the wheeler onto the lake. I can’t do fine motor movements with them like thread on a minnow head or open a crankbait clip to change spoons, but I have no issue operating a spinning reel or changing settings on my graph. I just bite the finger and pull them off when I need to do that.

    I’ve been messing with Maxi Dry zero. My intention is to wear one panfishing to grab the wet fish out of the hole to keep my hand from getting continually wet and pricked raw. So far I like them.

    This is why the heavy latex gloves are awesome. I get the mechanics style from northern tool because they are thicker. Your hands never get wet so you stay a ton warmer. They also protect a bit from the sharp fins and gill edges.

    There is those latex dipped work gloves. Go to Menards or Mills Fleet Farm and you should find them in the gloves section.
