Super User HoosierHawgs Posted July 23, 2015 Super User Posted July 23, 2015 What color lenses do you guys recommend? For general sight fishing Amber will serve you well. If you can only afford one pair of glasses, go with Amber lenses. Great all around color for fishing. Quote
Big Swimbait Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 A big Plus 1 on SteepandCheap.com. You have to check often but today they have Costas as low as $52.00. I also saw Native Eyewear, Kaenon & Oakley tonight. Quote

I'm pretty weary, but have bought stuff at an amazing discount at Outlet Bait and Tackle and haven't been burned yet. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted July 23, 2015 Super User Posted July 23, 2015 Check out Sierra Trading Post. They have Costas, Oakleys, Maui Jims' and many others for cheap. They also have 40% off coupons floating around usually. I picked up a pair of Seringetti's that were normally $300 for $90. Best pair of sunglasses I have ever owned. 1 Quote

I'm pretty weary, but have bought stuff at an amazing discount at Outlet Bait and Tackle and haven't been burned yet. They're legit. I was bit leery at first too, but they're run by backcountry. Great service, fast shipping. I buy clothing from them a couple times a year. I actually got a decent price on my smith optics sunglasses from them as well. 1 Quote
Hogsticker Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Wileyx P17, 60 bucks on that auction site. Get the smoke gray lens for all around fishing conditions. Quote

I'm pretty weary, but have bought stuff at an amazing discount at Outlet Bait and Tackle and haven't been burned yet. I've bought 3 pairs of Costas so far - 2 for me & a pair for my wife. Very quick shipping & excellent communication. You do have to check often for the very best deals. The "P" lenses are discounted a lot more than the "G" lenses. 1 Quote
Neil McCauley Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 I have used Tifosi Tyrant fototecs for years. They're about 90 but worth it. They are made for road cycling and adjust for lowlight conditions. Quote
boostr Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Check out Reflekt Polarized, have a pair and fit nicely. They start at 79$-129$. They make floating frames also, and they have an awesome lifetime warranty. Check out Peppers also a great lifetime warranty, and are below your price point. Quote
robster80 Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 i bought a pair of bronze lens $5 berkleys from walmart recently. also bought a pair of $329 bronze maui jim. the mauis definitely r lighter and look cooler but looking thro them i swear the $5 berkleys are more clear, have better contrast and the colors r way more vibrant. i am probably sending the maui jims back Quote
Rhino68W Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 Strike King S11's, I have two pairs and they are great Are there any numbers after the S11? And what lenses did you get? I will be fishing freshwater lakes for LMB stained-muddy water. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted July 27, 2015 Super User Posted July 27, 2015 I get Fisheyez from DSG or Gander for around $20. Quote
TwoCan Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 +1 to whoever said steepandcheap, I bought a pair of costa Straits the other day. With next day shipping it totaled 84 bucks and I still saved 108 dollars. If I knew I was going to like them this much I would have bought a second pair and a different color lens. Quote
icatchlittlebass Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Is steap and cheap reliable? I saw online they were fakes, I didn't think so, but I decided to wait for another sale to be sure. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted July 27, 2015 Super User Posted July 27, 2015 What color lenses do you guys recommend? I like brown . Quote
Super User scaleface Posted July 27, 2015 Super User Posted July 27, 2015 I wear prescription glasses and once had a pair of polarized ones for fishing. Right now I just buy cheap clip ons. My next pair of glasses I want the ones that get darker in the sun with polarization . I dont know if they can be got like that though / Quote

I dont know if they can be got like that though / I know smith makes prescription lenses that are also photochromic. However, I think they only offer it in certain colors. Quote
Super User WRB Posted July 27, 2015 Super User Posted July 27, 2015 If you have Costco nearby their store brand is very good if you like the style. Costco stores also have road show deals at times with name brands like Maui Jims in your price range. I prefer dark gray for general bright sun conditions, dark Amber for over cast or lower light conditions. Tom Quote
ripinit Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 If you wear glasses, get the Fish finder Over-glasses at Bass Pro. They are good even if you don't have glasses. They are much better than my Cacoon's for half the price.. Quote
Big Swimbait Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Is steap and cheap reliable? I saw online they were fakes, I didn't think so, but I decided to wait for another sale to be sure. Not fakes. They carry a lot of outdoors type of gear of different brands. You just have to check often for the best deals since they "blow out" items quickly. Quote
zeth Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Suncloud gets a thumbs up from me as well. But I did upgrade to Maui Jim for $280 and it was well worth it. Good idea to get an average pair and then to save and upgrade. Then you'll have a backup. Quote
