wasabi_VA Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Hey guys. I need a new pair of fishing/polarized sunglasses for less than $50, preferably closer to $25. I usually find a decent pair on sale for $25 and am happy with that level quality. Seen any good sales? Quote
basshole8190 Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Check Walmart. I bought a pair of tortoise shell Amber lens glasses hank Parker brand last week in a pinch when I left my costas at home. 20 bucks and I'll admit I was pretty impressed with the quality of these glasses 1 Quote
ripinit Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 I found a pair, called Fish finders at Bass pro, and am still impressed. Its the only one I wear now, I leave my cocoons at home...great find for me, as they fit over my glasses, and are only around 20 bucks... Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted April 12, 2015 Super User Posted April 12, 2015 Calcutta's are pretty cheap, $25 or so. Use them at work for any outside work so if they get messed up I don't mind as opposed to the Kaenon's that are sitting in my bag safely in my room. 1 Quote
PitchinJigz Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Strike King s11I agree. Got a pair as a gift for Christmas and I'm impressed with them. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 12, 2015 Global Moderator Posted April 12, 2015 If I need a cheap pair I get the $5 Berkley's from Wal Mart. They work pretty well and when they break, you lose them, or they get scratched up, you just buy a new pair. 4 Quote
CRANKENSTIEN Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Walmart strIke king work well for me. I have been wondering if the expensive brands would be worth it?? Sounds like maybe not. Quote

Joedodge Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 I wear oakleys because I have for years and love how they fit my head. I actually have two pairs. But I have not gotten around to ordering polarized lenses for one set. I wear Calcutta polarized. Got them by the register at my local tackle shop. Like everyone said tho for long extended use try and take care of your eyes with something quality. But for just wearing fishing the Calcutta perform great Quote
Super User scaleface Posted April 12, 2015 Super User Posted April 12, 2015 You dont have to buy glasses out of the Sporting Goods dept. Go to the sunglass displays and just look for Polarized . Fishing glasses that wrap around my face get steamed up a lot. I prefer Aviator style anyway. They look cooler . 1 Quote
reason162 Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 I've had good luck with Suncloud polarized. They're Smith's cheaper line. I think Kaenon has a similar, lower-priced line as well. Quote
EvanT123 Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Polarized Foster Grants have never let me down $20 at rite aid. Quote
illinifan4152 Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Strike kings from Walmart for $15 work great Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted April 13, 2015 Super User Posted April 13, 2015 Did someone say cheap sunglasses? 2 Quote
Airdack Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Got some Coleman floating polarized glasses that are pretty good for 10 dollars at Walmart. I think there $15 normally. Quote
Steveo-1969 Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Strike King s11 X3. You can find them on Amazon for about $30. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted April 14, 2015 Super User Posted April 14, 2015 Just one of many on this website. They often have 30%-40% coupons. Great site though... You have been warned... http://www.sierratradingpost.com/hobie-mission-sunglasses-polarized~p~8499j/?filterString=s~sunglasses-mens-polarized%2F&colorFamily=01 Quote
Longo Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I have a couple pairs (different lens colors) of typhoon sunglasses that I've bought off Ebay. For the price they are very comfortable, polarized and offer great clarity for fishing. Quote
yakingfisherman Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 berkely or spiderwire from walmart. I have a big head and they have some that fit and dont squeeze my head. Plus I lost a pair overboard on my kayak. Shrugged it off and just bought a new pair. I would have gone crazy if I had bought some more expensive pair. Quote
MainelyBASS Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I love the Strike King Monsta's for really cheap glasses $24.99, or the S11's. I always have 2 pair in stock. Can't stress the significance of polarized glasses. Of the many things I can see with polarized glasses, probably the most important is being able to see followers or short strikes on my bait. Seeing the structure tells you where the fish might be, seeing the fish react to your bait tells you what mode they are in and without polarized glasses you miss out on both of those key clues to figuring them out.

Super User Choporoz Posted April 14, 2015 Super User Posted April 14, 2015 4 years ago I paid $40 for a pair from a vendor in a tent outside the BX on an Army post. Best sunglasses I've ever owned - totally unbreakable and totally scratch resistant. Lifetime warranty ($10 shipping.) Last fall, the tent was there and I asked about the wear on the rubber on the side...not bad, but a little worn. I handed them $10 and got a brand new identical pair. Sunglass Discounters. Google 'em and they look like a 'shady' outfit.... Doesn't appear to have an online presence, but if you come across their tent outside a BX or mall or something, I highly recommend them. Quote
tholmes Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 For many years, I've worn Walmart Solar Shield fitovers. They're $20 a pair and have side and brow shields. I wear them at work, fishing and for working in the yard at home. I can't (won't) pay big bucks for prescription sunglasses, since eventually they will be lost, broken or scratched so badly they're unusable. I've benn wearing my current pair for three years now and they're still going strong. Tom Quote
