    I can verify the latex gloves suggestion. You can cast or tie a knot while wearing them. They work down to about 40*.

    I agree. May depend on your definition of numb but if you had to quit fishing, it doesn't sound like nothing.

    Up here in the northeast, you have to be prepared for the cold, unless you only want to fish for 4 or 5 months of the year! So, over many decades, I've come to rely on a pair of rag wool, fingerless gloves. Remember, even wet, wool has insulating properties. Those, along with a hand warmer in each parka pocket and you're good to go. Carhartt bibbs, poly base layer and Sorel wool pack boots top the outfit off. We don't stop fishing here until ice up, or it's so cold that ice forms in your rod guides, preventing you from casting. That's usually sometime in late November, just prior to Thanksgiving.

    Purchase the large hand warmers at Wal-Mart, they are 18 hour ones. Dependi g on how cold, I will use one or two in my hoodie pocket. Can't stand wearing gloves, too many years duck and goose hunting.

    I have carpal tunnel in both hands and they will go numb in 100* weather if I am not moving them a lot. Driving they go numb and I have to shake them to wake them up and sometimes it will wake me up when I am sleeping.

    Hot hand pouches are the best way for me.

    Exam gloves under fingerless gloves. Hot hands inside them.
    Or brown jersey gloves under over sized exam gloves. Have several pair though, as your hands sweat, this glove system holds in the moisture.
    Put the hothands in between a shirt and your kidneys, keep the core warm, the rest usually will also.

    You could also have a pinched nerve in your neck and back.

    I have had deep cuts in my fingers on both hands that took out Nerves and tendons. when those fingers get cold it shuts down circulation that spreads to other fingers .. Numb hurts .. Hot hands helps

    The surgery worked wonders for me. I hadn't had a decent nights sleep in years before I had it done.
