I like my amber or silver lenses depending on if it's sunny or cloudy/lowlight.

that's what i figured i was going to get the silver mirror i think they would be the best choice

As many other people here have already recommended, I would try on a few different models of Costas. I have the Costa Fantails in 580p and absolutely love them! After having to replace the cheapos from Wally World every little bit, I decided to bite the bullet and buy a nice pair and I will never go back! Great investment.

the main water i fish is slightly stained though

what lenses do you use for slightly stained water?

That's basically all I fish is stained water.. The green lenses would be the best option for that..blue would be best for offshore fishing like snapper,tuna, etc.. Green is for inshore and probably the best all around for every day.. The green is Amber based.

Definitely try a few pairs on, but personally I'd go with Costa's. I've got the 580G's in green mirror and they work well in a bunch of different conditions. I absolutely love them! The glass lenses are heavier than plastic, but you don't notice that weight when they're on your face.

Visit the Costa website. It helps you choose the right lenses for the conditions you face most. Also note they come in different frame (temple length?) sizes so pick two you like and try them on and compare. I have the glass lenses and love them. No scratches in two plus years of fishing every weekend. I don't notice any weight difference.

Yep!!  but before you purchase I would go some were and try different frames on and see which one fits and looks the best on you.. Pretty big investment to have glasses that cost over 250.. Make sure you like them..if you get the green 580g I will tell you this,  it will be hard for you to go outside with out them lol.  they make every thing look better.. From scenic views, to paint on cars to fiberglass boats, everything looks better

I have a pair of Costa corbinas with 580p lenses on amber and I love them. I got them for $80 on steep and cheap.

I have to add another vote for the Costa 580g lenses. I've had a few different pairs over the years from cheap stuff to moderate priced glasses. Last spring I was wearing a pair of     oakley's that I liked for a few years. My friend bought some costas and let me try them on to compare them directly to my Oakley's. I was shocked at the difference. Bought a pair the next day. They were really that good.

Quoted to echo a very good point. The weight difference. This was one of the things that always kept me away from glass lenses. I always heard they're too heavy blah blah blah nonsense. They are heavier but the weight difference is nowhere near what some of the hype suggests. It's hardly noticeable and mine are very very comfortable.
