What To Look For
Polarized sunglasses should reduce reflected glare for better vision while fishing. They should fit you comfortably, and block out as much sunlight as possible. Another feature to look for is interchangeable lenses for different conditions. Sunglasses that float always come in handy when leaning overboard to land a monster catch, or when they go flying off of your head during a quick run down-lake.
Common Pitfalls
Cheap polarized sunglasses that don't fit tightly, are bulky and uncomfortable, or that have weak, easily scratched lenses can quickly become a hassle on the water. When shopping for sunglasses, don't be afraid to spend more money for a higher quality pair of sunglasses. You may end up saving money, along with your vision, in the long run.
Where To Buy
Fishermen looking for a quality pair of polarized sunglasses can find them at Bass Pro Shops locations nationwide. Bass Pro Shops offers fishermen both online shopping and physical store locations nationwide. They carry Oakley, Bat Eyes, Costa Del Mar and other brands of polarized sunglasses.
Cost
While you can get them for as little as $15, don't be surprised if you wind us spending close to $200 on a nice pair of polarized sunglasses. Bass Pro shops offers their own brand of polarized floating wraparound sunglasses priced at $29, and more expensive Costa Del Mar Blackfin polarized sunglasses for
$169, with Columbia Bonehead sunglasses falling in-between at about $92.
