Can confirm it’s a good move. I learned it from a friend and didn’t think it would help that much with keeping my hands warm but amazingly it makes a big difference. And of course it’s good for the fish handling (still wet them first).
That’s what I went with! I wear fingerless wool gloves so you can barely even notice them underneath.
Wind gusts were in the 30s mixed with the air temp in low 30s plus cold water. I started doing it last year and keeps my hands so much warmer
Are you wearing latex gloves?

They are great for fishing AND for playing doctor...
