use a pair of weightlifting gloves they certainly help me when Im training outside and give me good grip on the bar so no reason why they wouldnt work for fishing either. Theres quite a selection to pick from.

thanks for all the genuine answers :? since when was this site somewhere where people come to jest and mock someone who has a genuine problem ,something that will effect alot of people in their latter years feeling cold and slippery isnt funny at my age !
have the youngsters on here no respect for the elder site user when they reach out for help??? :(
