I did that , once .
They now sit about 7.5 miles upstream from the ramp , in about 25' of water ...

Cheap sunglasses haunt you like a ghost , you cannot give them away .

Yep. The cheap ones never get lost, sat on, stepped on, dropped in the water. They know they're cheap, so they try harder than the snotty expensive ones. The Bass Pro ones float.

Re: Best Fishing Sunglasses..

i use the basic $20 polarized cheapies but my son uses Costas. i think they were about $160. and as much as it hurts to say, when i have tried them they cut the glare better and let me see fish better. back in the day when i didn't need the glasses i do now my shooting glasses were Ray Bans and they were definatly better than cheap shooting glasses. i remember almost choking when i had to pay $70 for them 30 yrs ago.

I also have a pair of Walmart shades ($14 if I recall) which look a bit goofy but cut through the ripples and sun reflected water amazingly!

That said, I'm sure you get what you pay for, as with most things, and ~$150 will likely get you a pair you will be happier with for the longer term.

An easy test for good polarization is to look at a non-glare computer or digital camera screen. If you can't see the picture at all, they are nice shades.

I had a pair of Maui Jims and the guy I fish with uses Costa Del Mars ....... my opinion the costa del mars are fantastic..... the best I have ever tried for fishing.

I use a pair of ??brand?? polarized from Walmart, were $18 on clearance, $36 originally. Never had a chance to try many good ones, but those have done great for me. I guess I don't really want to hear the high priced ones are better
