Super User deep Posted February 1, 2011 Super User Posted February 1, 2011 I've been thinking about buying a better pair of (bass) fishing sunglasses. From what I read on here, I guess sunny conditions => green mirror or gray low light => amber. Are blue lenses good for offshore use only? Quote
Shane_in_PCola Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Yeah I would like to know too. I have a pair of blue lens Costas that do pretty well, but have always wondered if the green lens would be better. Quote
authentic Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I'm curious, too. I'm hoping to buy a pair in the next couple weeks, but the more I look into getting a pair, the more unsure I am about what type of lenses would be best for me. Kind of need an all around pair. Quote
Super User deep Posted February 1, 2011 Author Super User Posted February 1, 2011 Shane and authentic, check here: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1295633452 I guess I wanted to know what are blue lenses good for, and not what is a good all-around lens color. Quote

philsoreel Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 I'm in the same boat. I have an old beat up pair of Oakley Half Jackets that I'm going to either buy another set of lenses for or just buy a new pair of Wiley-X but I don't know what color I should get. My nephew bought me a $20 pair of Strike King Ice glasses for Christmas. I'm very surprised at how good the polarization is in them. Quote
Flukeman Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 You will need to go and try the different lenses. Everyone's eyes are different with the different lens colors. Quote
Super User South FLA Posted February 3, 2011 Super User Posted February 3, 2011 Best lenses for my eyes: 1. Sunrise/Yellow (Best for overcast and dawn/dusk) 2.Cooper or Amber (What I use 80% of time) 3. Gray (Driving or bright sunny days) Mirror tints are great for white out conditions or blue bird skies in deep water salt or fresh,but I try to stay home if that is a choice. Quote
philsoreel Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 You will need to go and try the different lenses. Everyone's eyes are different with the different lens colors. Kind of hard to do when each set of lenses run $40-60 (Oakley) Quote
Pa Angler Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 I use the blue mirror lens in freshwater and bright sunny days works for me. I also have a pair of amber for low light and mossy for sight fishing all are Solar Bats with the foam inserts. Tight Lines Pa Angler Quote
