Out fishing for the big one? There are sunglasses made specifically for angling that have a variety of key features, allowing your fishing experience to be both better and more pleasant.
In fact, whether you prefer saltwater or freshwater, live or artificial, boat or shore, fishing sunglasses will surely improve your game.
So sit with us. We’ll give you tips on selecting the best sunglasses for fishing–but first, we’ll talk about the many benefits of wearing fishing sunglasses.
It is common for many tackle boxes and bags to have a special compartment specifically designed to hold your sunglasses. Some of the best sunglasses manufacturers have lines and styles specifically tailored to fishing. In addition to this, professional anglers are sponsored by eyewear companies.
There’s a reason for all of this–fishing sunglasses work.
Arguably, the most important reason to get a pair of fishing sunglasses is to keep your eyes safe. And if fishing is a regular hobby for you, chances are you spend countless hours out in the sun every year.
Fishing with sunglasses protects you from harmful UV rays that can affect your eyes long term. Fishing with glasses can also improve your chances of catching fish.
Even people who simply enjoy boating but do not fish often purchase fishing sunglasses because they know the eyewear helps their visibility on the water while helping to keep their eyes comfortable and without strain.
In short, fishing sunglasses have a variety of benefits for the the activities and overal well being of a person.
When shopping for fishing sunglasses, you should make sure to get a pair that is polarized. Polarized fishing sunglasses with a blue or green mirror coating give you the best possible view into the water by blocking or reflecting much of the scattered and reflected light coming off of the water, especially in freshwater.
Polarization also helps with haze and other distracting visibility issues while fishing. Your vision will be clearer, making it easier to see if the line jumps while you’re fishing.
Mirror coatings are good as well, blue and green being the best to block reflected light from the water.
Overall, fishing sunglasses are dark, easing the strain of very bright sunlight that comes from hours of being out on the boat or shore. Your eyes will be more comfortable after a day’s fishing, plus they’ll be protected from harmful UV rays.
Furthermore, some fishing sunglasses float, coming to the rescue of anglers, sailing enthusiasts, and others who play water sports.
Fishing sunglasses can also be made in prescription, so if you wear prescription glasses you can get a perfect pair made exclusively for fishing.
