From scintillating sunshine to murky, low light conditions... Spotting a fish can be difficult at the best of times, even in apparently perfect weather conditions. That's why you need all the vital equipment you can get your hands on to hook your latest catch more quickly and easily than ever before. This is where a great set of sunglasses come into play...
Your fishing experience can be significantly enhanced by the type of sunglasses you use. Everyday fashion sunglasses incorporate different lens colours largely for aesthetic purposes, however fishing sunglasses make use of tinted lenses for a different reason.
The colour of your fishing sunglasses may actually make all the difference between seeing a fish moving around in the water and being almost completely invisible to the naked eye. You may think that an ordinary pair of sunglasses will do the trick - and your favourite mirrored or polarised pair may provide some level of visual improvement - however, a true fishing fanatic needs sunglasses that are made precisely for the purposes of angling.
In fact, each and every lens colour available will offer its own unique benefits to suit the visual conditions of the environment you're planning to fish in.
So, What Tint Of Sunglasses Is Best For Fishing?
The tint you choose really depends on the light conditions you find yourself in. Typically, green, grey and blue will be the most common lens colours you come across:
What About Polarised & Mirrored Sunglasses?
Whether you choose polarised or mirrored sunglasses is up to you. Mirrored lenses are highly reflective and reduce light while offering UV protection. Polarised lenses are made with a glare-minimising filter that controls glare and enhances visual clarity. Both are brilliant for fishing and therefore you can opt for whichever type of sunglasses suits your individual fishing requirements and personal preferences.
