GaterB Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 What color polarized lenses give the best vision for anglers? I have really dark lenses in my Oakley Flak Jackets but early in the morning or in the evening they are basically useless. Will any other colors give me better vision in lower light conditions? Thanks. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted May 28, 2013 Super User Posted May 28, 2013 There was a thread on this topic at least two weeks ago. Do a quick search and your question will definitely be answered. Quote
TNBassin' Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 I have black iridium polarized lenses in all 5 pair of my Oakleys. Been wanting to try some Titanium Iridium in my Flaks, but seems that only the KVD Series Flaks come with those lenses and aren't sold separately. Quote
Super User Marty Posted May 28, 2013 Super User Posted May 28, 2013 Amber might help. You can go to Cabela's and on any page for sunglasses you can click on the Buyer's guide and read what they have to say on lens color and other things. In the June Bassmaster magazine, Skeet Reese was asked what color he'd choose if he could have just one color and he said amber. Of course, that's just one person's opinion. Quote
gripnrip Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Amber strike king. I fished an overcast sky Sunday and it made it seem brighter out. I could see bluegill chasing each other in the grass. Quote

I could see bluegill chasing each other in the grass.I have the SK S11 Atlantic in amber. Awesome glasses that wont empty your wallet. Highly recommend them. I prefer amber because they're effective in all lighting conditions. Even at dusk you can see pretty well into shallow water. Quote
Triton 186 Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 high contrast yellow lenses work great in low light, I use solar bats with high con yellow on overcast days all the time Quote
kylek Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Another vote for amber color lenses. Try out the Strike King S11 glasses. I just picked up a pair an love them. Quote
Super User deep Posted May 29, 2013 Super User Posted May 29, 2013 Amber! My low light glasses is an Ocean Waves Chicago (I think). Quote
derekxec Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 amber/copper are good for low light....grey and brown are pretty good for high light Quote
IntroC Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 If I could only choose one color for all time use it would be amber hands down. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted May 29, 2013 Super User Posted May 29, 2013 Offshore I use grey, inshore and freshwater it's amber. Wearing prescriptions and usually starting before dawn flips ups work best for me. I'm always flipping them up or down depending where the sun is, sometimes I see better without them depending on the light angle the water can look too dark. Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted May 29, 2013 Super User Posted May 29, 2013 I want a new set of lenses for my oakleys also but do you guys go with bronze polarized or gold iridium polarized 1 Quote
