Re: Best Sunglasses for fishing?
If you get on ebay there are quite a few polarised safety glasses for around the $30-50 mark.
They're strong and made to AUS/NZ standards, so they can protect your eyes from flying objects as well as UV!
Bunnings also have some decent ones for around $25 - that's what I currently use.

Re: Best Sunglasses for fishing?
Is there actually an advantage of the proper 'fishing sunglasses' over just normal polarised sunnies? I've only ever used the latter, spotters etc are hideous and bloody expensive

Re: Best Sunglasses for fishing?
I wouldn't use the term proper fishing sunglasses but yes my Revo sunnies are better than regular polarised sunnies. I would say cheap polarised are 10 times better than nothing and 80% as good as the Revos.
As far as I am aware Revo is not a fishing brand.

Re: Best Sunglasses for fishing?
Pat I've used heaps of cheapies, cocoons (fit overs) spotters and tonics. The latter two with glass lenses. There's a huge difference in eye comfort and clarity between glass and plastic. I've also got polarised glass ray bans and the tonics are clearer. I'm on my second pair of tonics now.
They wrap around style isn't the most fashionable but it does cut down glare from the side.

If your out in the heat and sun all day the wrap around are pretty much the best to keep dust, heat and glare outBasti wrote:Pat I've used heaps of cheapies, cocoons (fit overs) spotters and tonics.

Re: Best Sunglasses for fishing?
I've got a pair of Stingray polarised with the copper lens plus they are photo chromatic as well .They are a plastic lens but I've had them for over a year and no issues so far. For $99 your not breaking the bank for some reasonably decent glasses.

It's like asking what brand of boat is best some would say Barcrusher until they bust up with their boyfriend and have no more crusher.

Re: Best Sunglasses for fishing?
I won a pair of Spotters sunnies ($200) and gave them to the wife as they were useless in tannin coloured rivers, they change with the light conditions, certainly not for me I'm afraid... I'm not saying they're not a good brand at all, just not suited to my river fishing that's all.
I stayed with the polarized ones from the Anti Cancer Foundation ($34-95), have had them for just over three trout seasons and they great in both tannin and clear water..
cheers
