Do you have a history of arthritis or joint trouble cause Turning the handle on a fishing reel shouldn't do that to your hands. If it's your skin it might be just irritation from salt water, wind, or fish slime. If it's skin Maybe try washing your hands well after fishing and using a good barrier cream. If it's your joints maybe icing after. But like alenw we said, see a doctor cause that isn't normal. Mike
