grin and bare it :) ! price u pay n all that....

if itz really bad you can try stabbing yourself in the leg with your bait scissors...usually takes the mind off the most painful of sore nails :lol:

to be serious, still have not found a good way to solve the problem. nailbrush and a good nail trim about the best!

An anglers' manicure. Lovely :D In this weather I can't feel my fingers anyway!!

I suffer the same problem but I think it only happens when I have (even a slight) cut on my fingers. I find the skin to the side of the nail worst. Nothing I can't bare though. Mind over matter ...

fish4fun, i have to agree, for any hacks on your hands, snowfire is the best healing tablet out for them if you use it for a few days after a fishing session, for immediate resolution with any cuts picked up from perhaps braid, line, shellfish etc, some of us use superglue or germolene new skin. some advise against superglue tho as they fear it will poison your blood or something.....

just wondering how many of you suffering from sore nails
1) bite your nails ?
2) work with cement/mortar/or solvents ?

i finally got to use the industrial barrier cream last week,have to say it didn't affect the fishing one bit :D ...Afterwards when i got home it was a case of just using ordinary soap to wash off any residue(and smell of mack. :lol: )it just came straight off no problem after one wash :shock: :)

I've had sore nails after one all nighter using rag, it was a combination of sand and irritation cos I had long nails. I've been wearing neoprene gloves all winter and not had the problem, although one session with lug I got "lugjuice" :P into a cut from a hook despite the gloves, that burned a bit alright.

Their innards seem pretty noxious, maybe they're full of salts, although I have heard they're acidic???

which, lug or rag? i thing lug aren't bad but i think that rag go have some sort natural acid :?: :?

Why cant i say acid?

Both lug and rag have caused me irritation. Just the first night it was also sand and long nails that won't have helped.
