Abstract
A mitt for keeping a hand of a fisher warm while fishing with a rod and spinning reel having a bale includes a shell and a slide fastener closure for the shell for selectively opening and cosing the shell. The shell, when closed by the closure, has a size and shape to encircle the hand. The shell includes openings for receiving (a) the rod so that opposite portions of the rod extend from opposite portions of the shell with a segment of the rod between the opposite portions being within the shell at a position to be gripped by the hand enclosed by the closed shell and (b) a strut connected to the segment and the reel so that the reel is outside of the closed shell. The shell includes a finger positioned and constructed to (a) receive and enclose a digit of the hand while the hand is enclosed by the closed shell at the position where the hand grips the rod segment and (b) enable the fisher's digit therein to manipulate the bale.
