Why Wear Polarized Sunglasses for Fishing.

Wearing Polarized Sunglasses for fishing throughout the year will help you see your prey clearer in all types of conditions, overcast and bright sunshine and low light conditions.

Polarized Sunglasses help reduce glare to see the fish more clearly below the water surface, and they will also help you keep an eye on the tip of your rod in bright conditions.

Wearing Sunglasses is also good from a safety point of view, from protecting your eyes from stray hooks when casting to navigating the riverbed safely when wading, avoiding underwater structures such as boulders and submerged logs or deep holes which could cause the angler to trip and fall into the water.

Polarized sunglasses are available with a range of lens colours which can help with contrast to help you see clearer in varying conditions. Yellow lenses are particularly useful for low light and misty conditions offering a high degree of contrast when fishing. Grey lenses are perfect for general use and are suitable for sunny or cloudy conditions allowing good colour perception. Brown lenses offer greater depth perception but are not as good in low-light conditions. Green lenses offer the best of both worlds when compared to brown or grey lenses, green lenses provide great contrast whilst transmitting colours evenly. Blue lenses are great for winter conditions reducing the glare from snow, and good in misty and foggy conditions.
