Polarized glasses

[Bubba_Bruiser]

Here's a kicker my buddy I work offshore with told me. If your company provides you with eye wear, you can get prescription Wiley's from Wal-Mart on the insurance or company dime because they are Z87 stamped. You might have to pay a little if insurance only covers to a certain point. But for now, I am staying with my Oakley Monster Dogs. I am putting back a little here and there for another pair in the amber color for the low light days.

I always wear polarized glasses when fishing.

Very good advice. I wonder if anyone has the same feeling when they're without they polarized glasses as they are when they forget their wallet. Arrrgh! I happen to be in the Strike King glasses class too. I break/lose them too often.

Spending a few bucks for one of these may save you from loosing a pair. I use one. Glasses won't fall off or blow off and if you want to remove them they hang around your neck. No reason to lay them on the deck where some dumbo may boot them overboard. Very cheap insurance. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/st...003000_175-3-0

I had a pair of Jimmy Houston glasses for years that worked great but I broke them many moons ago. I recently purchased a pair of blue polorized flip up style clip-ons from Walmart that I just hate....they add more reflections to the water then is there to begin with......When I was in Florida last month I picked up a pair of amber colored clip ons that I just love....they are not the flip-up style, but they are glass lenses and as I found out the last couple of fishin trips they really work well and make it easier to see below the surface.

I wear prescription glasses so I can't just use regular sunglasses....The biggest down side to clip-ons is they don't give you any side protection and the sunlight reflecting off the inside of my lenses and metal frames can be frustrating to say the least....One of these days I'd like to try a pair of Cacoons, but the thought of spending $40+ for sunglasses that are somewhat oversized and goofy lookin just don't do it for me....lol
