Hey guys/gals, i need to pick up a good pair of gloves to use when fishing now i use a bait caster so what do ya recommend needs to be warm and i guess i will have to cut out the thumb for casting.

Also was thinking of tying some of my own jigs this winter where can i get the skirts and the jigs either local or off the net.

netcraft would be good for jigs, I believe they have a website.
You might want to try the grip gloves they have at lumber yards for framing and I believe 2 other kinds. When I saw them, the first thing I thought was winter fishing gloves.

Jerry, stop at the Old Dutchman's by Hoover Dam. She has a great selection to choose from. I get most all my materials there.

buy a good pair of neoprene shooting gloves. avery makes a great thin (1 1/2 mm) pair .not waterproof though.golf and driving gloves would be good too.

Go to a shop that carrys fly fishing gear. Check out a pair of fingerless/thumbless gloves in Polartec or similar synthetic material. They are warm even when wet. :) I use them Spring and Fall as well as for steelheading all Winter and need the fingerless/thumbless for using the long rod. You can also get wool ones at Army/Navy stores but they are not as warm, lose their shape when wetand are abear to get a hook out of without destroying the glove.

Was at Cabela's yesterday, bought a pair of Clacier Kenai's. Used them this morning, fished leeches under a slipbobber pretty much had my hands wet for 2 or 3 hrs.
The gloves worked fine.

I have been fishing winter months for years and believe it or not those jersey gloves you can get at the dollar store, 2 pair for 1 dollar work fine. They make great snot rags for when that cold winter's night breeze makes your nose run.
