Try some baking soda rubbed into the hands and washed off, toothpaste is another...

Use dishwashing liquid without any water for a min or so then rinse off with water. Works for me.
If a 6 was a nine... I don't mind

The key is to use cold water and a citrus based hand cleaner.

The product that fishing essentials put out is also pretty good but using the above is a cheap and effective option that actually removes the smell rather than masking it like toothpaste does


Avoid using hot or even warm water as it opens the pores of the skin and ends up driving the stink in! Dead

I spray my hands with spray and wipe, then rinse with tap water. Probably not recommended by the company, but they aren't fishermen.

Spray and wipe does the trick. Just spray on your hands then rinse it off. Hasn't killed me yet, so I guess it's pretty safe.

Lol, I just used normal soap and water, if they smell afterwards oh well.  Goes away in a few days.

Luckily everyone I live and work with is not bothered by it. 

Not that they go out of their way to smell my hands.
A man’s comfort in life can be measured by the quality of the toilet paper he uses to wipe his arse.

I found this hard to believe when I got it as a present, but this stainless steel "soap" is the best smell get ridofer that I've ever had.

To test it I went and minced up some old pilchards for berley, the biggest test of any hand cleaner. You rub your hands with it and smell gone. Fecked if I know how it works, but it does.


Nobody has ever come up with a great idea after a second bottle of water.

Try Hand sanitizer, the stuff the Hospitals have all over the place,  works wonders
Remember: it's not a fish until it's landed

Tooth paste or something citrus based like JK has already mentioned.

Sunscreen is surprisingly good too if you have a long drive home and dont want to stink
