I got tired of that as well, and went to Job Lot and bought a pair of work gloves (the light ones with the blue rubber palms/fingers... I cut the tips off the fingers and thumbs and wear them (not always) when I remember; doesnt help your finger tips but the rest of your hand feels better; on the plus side they are easier to grab eels with...
As far as Pissin on your hands; Dont be offended if I simply wave to you guys....
Also, a guy I used to fish with offshore used to slather neosporene on them at night, slip on some latex gloves and go to sleep... I never took it that far, but whatever floats your boat...
