Default One Reason To Wear Eye Protection.



One good reason why you should wear polaroids/eye protection.

WARNING! GRAPHIC!!

Definately a good reason, if not a prompter to make eyewear a rule, just like Anglian Water, where Lifejackets are compulsory.

Christ, that's nasty. May sound like a daft question, but what sunglasses do people wear at night when sea trout fishing. The reason I ask fancy having a go at some point, and don't want to look like a blues brother, you know that quote it's dark and we are wearing sunglasses.

Sean, I wear a pair of protective glasses from Screwfix - clear lenses and shatter proof. As comfy as sunglasses; essential in my view.

Best,

Ah so, safety specs at night it will be then. Thanks for answering chaps.
Daft as this sounds,I just showed this clip to my missess and we are now debating whether or not that eye is going to be any good in the future. I think it's time for an eye patch. Missess reckons it could be saved.

Cheers
Sean

Hi', Bumps and All. P, r, o doesn't spell commonsense. We see them standing up in boats to cast;often without life jackets on. If they can't practise what so many of them preach, they'd do better saying 'Francis Adams'. However, we went through a dsicussion on boat safety not so long a go, when a surprising number supported standing to cast. It's right what 'they' say, there's a fool born every minute.

Show the wife the video and maybe it will help get you the green light to buying a new pair of polaroids, coz the new ones are better at protecting your eyes
