I think there's an obligatory call to point out the good sense to wear some kind of eye protection on the water. You may not need them for tying knots like me, or seeing clearly, or even care about seeing through the water surface like polarized allow. Just reeling in a jig or spinner can slingshot that little handful or hooks out of the water. Catching than with your face would be bad enough, hooking an eye would be quite a serious matter, as could a sinker. Don't fish without something. Ever.

My bimart specials were under $25, and are protected by the finest neoprene case available at the Dollar store. Comes with a clip for attaching to your PFD and everything.

  You crack me up sometimes!

Yes it does bear pointing-out the real reason we should wear glasses.  Thank you.
I expected the worst, but it was worse than I expected...

I second the Calcutta.  You can get them online (amazon) for about 20-25$ or swing by FishField (or any major fishing tackle store) and get them for the same price.  The lenses are good, and they are polarized.  I have liked every pair I have owned.  And because I have a propensity to lose sunglasses, I have owned quite a few pairs which is why I like the 20-25$ price range.

The real reason is to look cool.

Did you know that or did you Google it?  Think hard before you answer...    :icon_scratch:

We ain't claiming to be proud of the Corey Hart version!  I'm sure I only remember it because I didn't react fast enough on the radio dial.
