- Have you had issues picking out the best polarized sunglasses for fishing?
Even been confused on what color sunglasses lenses are best for fishing?
Then you're going to want to watch this.
One of the most important pieces of fishing equipment every angler needs is a good pair of polarized sunglasses.
Polarized sunglasses severely reduce the amount of glare you deal with on the water and allow you to see through the water with greater clarity. They're critical for sight fishing and give offshore anglers an advantage too.
In this video, I show you what you need to know about polarized sunglasses for fishing and explain the difference between glass and polycarbonate lenses.
See the full guide to buying polarized sunglasses here:

Check out the list below to see a breakdown of the color lenses you should use based on the type of fishing you do:
Green Mirror Front Lens, Amber Inside Lens - polarized glasses with these lenses are ideal for inshore and shallow water fishing. This is the best color combo for sight fishing on the flats.
Yellow Lenses - these lenses are a great option for lowlight conditions and overcast skies. They are a good choice for people who engage in a variety of types of fishing.
Grey Lenses - these are the best choice for a general all around use. You can use these glasses inshore, offshore, nearshore, golfing, playing sports and being outside in general.
Blue Mirror Front Lens, Grey Inside Lens - polarized sunglasses with this color combo are the best option for offshore fishing. The blue front lens matches the color of the offshore waters and cuts down on the glare that reflects off the surface.

Lots of helpful info there mate...thanks.
Just got some nines and I love them. Best fishing glasses ever
A glass lens itself may be very resistant to scratches, but the mirror coating on it won't be. The glass lenses made by Costa actually have the mirror coating on the inside surface of the lens, which is why it wasn't damaged in that demonstration you did. If you tried the same thing on a mirrored lens made by a different company the mirror would get scratched up and make the lenses unusable.
Thanks a lot for video !!!
It help me so much in my choice 👍🏻😎
Great video! Thanks Tony!
Great info. Thanks
ALWAYS WEAR POLARIZED SUNGLASSES. I'm very glad you guys recommend POLARIZED lenses to people. It can't be stressed enough. Non-polarized sunglasses with tint will dilate your pupils without providing any UV protection. The UV eye damage is greater than simply not wearing sunglasses. It's a 1 way ticket to cataracts, macular degeneration, and other eye disorders. (I'm just a student BSN but I think it's an important topic).

Hope you do well with your BSN studies. A very noble profession. Good luck.
What if it's 70% cloudy where you live
@@monaglewoodcrafts You'd be surprised how much UV is coming through even in overcast weather, I'd still strongly recommend polarized. For $50 bucks more you're saving yourself long-term irreversible cornea damage and or a painful case of photokeratitis(essentially sunburn on the eye). As this first commenter mentioned non polarized sunglasses dilate your pupils and then they're soaking up more UV. This is damaging even if you're not looking directly at the sun and just getting hit with water glare. I've had quite a few patients come in with photokeratitis from not wearing polarized lenses while fishing, boating, skiing/snowboarding/snowshoeing, even just going to SeaWorld and staring at the water for too long.
But what if the tinted glasses say there is UV protection?
Awesome advice bro
Nice video! I will say a proper adjustment can also help reduce slipping of glasses. Vuarnet also has a nice tacky bridge on their newest racing 1918 model and only uses glass lenses! Gray lenses can also be color shifted based on the mirror applied, such that a gray lens with a red mirror will have a strong shift to blue (also great for deep water)! Overall great stuff! Nice work!
Great video thankyou
Thanks a bunch. This topic is not covered enough.
I love my Kastking Skidaways. They are amazing and only $21. Thanks for the video.
I think the glass gives a slightly better picture than plastic; plastics have come a long way though. Ive seen a few of these fishing sun glass videos, this one is the best so far. Costa, Oakley, and Smith are all I use.

Well done.
Big fan of Costa's 580P polarized lenses
Hi what glasses are you wearing in the video?. Thanks
What color do you recommend for rock and surf/shore fishing?
Hey mate came across this vid
Whats your thought on the oakley lens you had.
Just out of curiosity, what glasses are you wearing in this video? And yessir, I'm a subscriber. ;)
Great video but I think tint is another factor. The last pair of polarized glasses I bought are awesome... at high noon. If the ambient light is not blazing they are a distraction to wear. I tried them on in store and liked the fit and assumed once I got them out in real daylight the tint would not be an issue. It was.
I'm going to salmon river NY next week what glasses you recommend? thank you
can you share a link to the snap retainer?
What color is best when wade cast netting? Great info by the way.
Amber?
thank you informative
are fishing glasses any different than regular polarized glasses?
Great info, thanks!
what color would you recommend for very shallow water? 0-30 inch? cheers
don't you listen ?
😂
Black lense and black mirror mate
Will blue mirror still help with lakes ect?
Hello my name is Cesar,i am from Cleveland Ohio,j have a pair of costas,the Reeftons,on one of my lens saids "Costa"and not 580G,can you or some one tell me what thats mean?thank you
What about Wiley-x? are they good?
Which Oakley's were those?
Also, 99.9 % of all sunglasses are made by Luxottica. Basically a Monopoly.
YEP People are SHEEPLE Costas 259 Mauis 300 just put it on the credit card LOL
I remember when Oakley's were $90.

@@magincap70 i remember when a candy bar was $.50 now its $1............
i guess with that everything has gone up in price and will continue to go up.... because people believe inflation is good, i need a pay raise every year
@@DobyDuke didn't it just even out then? Things cost more but people are getting paid more. It's not like we are getting paid like we were when they were 50 cents right?
Do you think the green mirrored lens with brown base is suited for everyday activities outside of fishing? Like biking or hiking. I want sunglasses that aren’t too dark or too bright.
I've been wearing a green mirrored lens lately and it is light. It is not as dark as my blue mirrored. It helps with mid summer sun but I prefer the blue for mid summer. Everyrhing else, they work well.
Good information but I where prescription glasses where can I get some clip?
Marlene Hall several companies make prescription sunglasses. I have a pair Maui Jim's in my lens Rx. I also have a pair of Cocoons that fit over your regular glasses. They have many styles based on the size of your lens.
Thanks for the information I will ck it out.
Are there any manufacturers that you can get them in your prescription?
I know costa does
Good job 👍
Hi my eye has astigmatism. Do polarized sunglasses has that option? Thanks
They make prescription sunglasses!
Great content, best I've seen on UA-cam.
Very good song at the end :) when I go bass pro shop at tsawwessen, delta, bc. I love the music concept all country music, it really suits the environment :)
Thanks for showing interest in our song. Here's a link to a cool music video that we made for it recently that you'll surely enjoy: www.saltstrong.com/fishing-in-our-soul-music-video/
I like your hat. We say the same thing here in Hawaii, no bananas when fishing.
Bad luck!
Great vid but the picture labeled as Costa Cat Cays are actually Costa Fantails
Which lense will see the fish hiding under water better?
Green Mirror Front Lens, Amber Inside Lens - polarized glasses with these lenses are ideal for inshore and shallow water fishing. This is the best color combo for sight fishing on the flats.
This might help.... I purchased a pair of Costa Del Mars,,,, Polarized for fishing, I left them under the windshield in my boat in the sun to go snorkeling for a couple hours... I came back in the boat after snorkeling and the frames warped from the sun... I called Costa Del Mar customer service for warranty and THEY WOULD NOT COVER THEM for being left in the sun.......... Really?? Sun glasses that cant be left in the sun....... SO, I purchased a pair of Maui Jim polarized and have never bought another brand ever since.. real glass polarized lenses,, the rose colored lenses are my personal favorite for fishing,, the visibility thru water is stunning.. have left them in the sun, on the dash of my boat, the dash of my car and NEVER WARP..... Just sharing my experiences with glasses..
Thanks for sharing. I always thought very highly of Costas so that’s great to know! I myself use a rose glass base on a silver mirror in the aussie brand MAKO. Made in japan. Only chose silver mirror because I liked the look of it more than the other mirrors
👍🎣🐠🐡🐟
Hi
So the fishing sunglasses, when wet, slip....Sounds like I'll be sticking with my oakleys
You should try our floating sunglasses which are perfect for a day on the lake! We'd love to send you a pair to review!
Yeet
You can send a pair to me😂
I got a pair of ray bands and they scratched up super fast, super disappointed. Also the sweat from my face corroded the bottom of the frames within a month. I’ve had Oakley’s that last me almost a year with me being careful. Raybands lasted me about 3 months if that. I’m looking for a cheaper pair of glasses that are polarized.
Probably fake.
My Raybans are made in Italy . Had them for a few years.
Lens still crystal clear and no damage at all. Still like new and k wear them daily while I drive a big truck.
Either yours are fake or you just don’t know how to look after stuff
@@NpgSymboL I found them on a beach. They weren’t the kind with plastic frames, but like aviators.
I'm assuming they need to be polarised ?
100% I just posted a comment about it.
What sunglasses are you using in this video? Cheers
You know there is a company on Facebook using this clip of the penny saying it’s their band.. “honestcr.com” lol wth
Be careful about buying wrap arounds. If air can’t circulate behind them, they tend to fog up. I’ve tried dozens of anti-fog products and nothing works for more that 15 minutes.
Tony, I just saw an advertisement for a brand called Honest Crate and they use the penny scratch test part of this video as part of their advertisement. You were sratching Costas and they are selling some other cheap crap but you were in their ad. Just a heads up they stole your video.
COSTAS ?? OAKLEY??
...YIKES..WHY NOT FLYING FISHERMAN OR SOMETHING THAT IS A LOT MORE AFFORDABLE ?????
Mako
costa del mar x-frames fit best. then they stopped making them. wave-killer then stopped making them... they were similar to eye-sockets from x- manufacturer but they were mirrored glass lenses and I don't understand fashion over function. why stop making something that works...
minimum tan lines, glass, non-slip, has holes for lanyards. fits perfect. almost like sketchers, deck shoes. stop changing stuff that works perfectly! I don't want to buy new inventions of the ball/wheel. stuff wears out. can't I just buy same items that hold up for years on end. I just want to replace current not learn how a new product doesn't work and pay a crap load of $ for? GEEZ-US!
If your glasses are constantly sliding on your face, they dont fit correctly.
Safety Glasses
Thanks for watching!
Nope
Grey lens aren't so great for bike riding
