Optix Cormorants. None better for fishing have ever been made. You have to look for them secondhand now. Expect to pay between £20 and £50 for a good unscratched pair. Why they are no longer made is beyond me.

Costa del Mar have a great reputation as fishing glasses, although I have never had an opportunity to try them. I need prescription lenses which does limit my choice somewhat, however I have used Kaenon (copper polarised) which are excellent, and am currently using Maui Jim's which are also excellent (bronze polarised); I would recommend either without hesitation.

Iv got a pair of Maui Jim's and to be honest for the price there no better than a pair I got in Aldi last year vision wise, but they do have glass lens and better frames.
The misses has a pair of Bolle's which if a bit bigger would go walkies in my fishing bag.

If you can get to an Oakley shop have a try with their fishing glasses (3 choices).

I recently bought some with the 'shallow blue' lens. Quite a revelation on the local still water. I can now see all the weed I was trying to fish through and can select the best places to fish.

Brilliant for watching the fish attack something just subsurface as well.

A lot of money but I think they are worth it.

Maui Jim's , kapena , bronze lense, they are sound, but bit pricey, glass lenses, they suit me , to be honest , buy what you can afford , honestly a £30 pair will do the trick ,

Cheers
Spencer
