Sunglasses

[Aaronvgp]

Just wondering what a good pair of sunglasses would be to get for fishing. I've never brought a pair specifically for fishing so I'm not sure what features I'm looking for or the price range of fishing specific sunglasses. I don't want to spend a heap on them, but would like them to do the job without breaking in a week.

I buy polarised sunnies from the cancer council shop for $50. Work fine. I've also owned $200+ spotter fishing sunnies. Main thing is comfy, polarised and stop glare and light leaking from the sides

$200?? Is the most important thing polarised? Does that help you see where all the weed patches are and fish in the water better?

I have a pair of makos and they're great but expensive. In saying that I almost use a pair of polarised cancer council rubber frames that I bought from rays for 40$. Most important is polarised and light leakage (wrap around style).

In comparison, I have to say that the makos are unbelievable and you can see things that you won't on a cheap pair but obviously they are really expensive and the cheaper pair do a great job too.

Yeah mate polarised is a must. That allows you to see in the water. I use cancer council condada sunnies. $50. Plastic lenses can scratch up so use the bag they come with but other than that they're great (and I do a lot of sight fishing over summer)

I had rapala sunnies which were $20 but didn't come close to my mates spotters they really do remove a lot of glare on the water!

Go glass lens. Spotters, Mako, Tonic and others all do polarized glass lens. I've got spotters with the halide glass and they're brilliant. Never going back to plastic

Unless you get a good deal somewhere expect over $200 though

If your after cheaper ones since your just starting out. Get the ones from BP service stations. They cost around $20 and do the job. But the glass lenses are a whole different kettle of fish and cost big $$$$$$

2nd the ones from bp if your on a budget, I use them as safety glasses at work there tough as and not to bad when your fishing

Awesome thanks guys. I was in bcf today and had a look at theirs. The ones on the spinning racks were $54 and the ones in the glass cases were $170+. Think I'll get the cheap ones and but some more lures and maybe that shimano spinning combo that's 50% off.
