      If you do wear polarized sunglasses while fishing you will definitely catch more fish especially bass, in rivers and streams it is very important to use polarized sunglasses. Polarized Sunglasses cut through the glare created by the sun and allow you to see into the water near underwater structure like logs and tree limbs. This gives you a advantage as a bass fisherman. When it comes to polarized sunglasses try and buy a good pair . If you buy cheap sunglasses they can cause eye strain and the plastic polarized lenses will break. Do not make this mistake trying to save a few bucks,good polarized sunglasses are the way to go.Whether you spend your time fishing, or boating, snow skieing polarized sunglasses are an excellent choice.

      Polarized sunglasses will come with a tag on the lenses to let you know that they are polarized.
      Light reflected from the water surfaces or smooth water is horizontally polarized. This horizontally polarized light is blocked by the vertically oriented polarizers in the lenses. The glare from the water produces eyestrain, and can caused you to squint.Regular sunglass tinting alone can not cure this problem of glare from the water's surface.

      Polarized sunglasses absorb the reflected glare and pass the useful light to your eyes so you see more fish and structure under the surface. The truth is that I use Ray Ban polarize sunglasses they are expensive but worth the extra cost to me. Make sure you use bands to slide on the sunglasses so you don't loose them over board.
      When I first started bass fishing without polarized lenses I could not make out the structure under the water's surface.I started using the Ray Ban sunglasses and I could not believe the difference.When I was wearing the Ray ban polarized sunglasses I could actually see the bass under the water.I could make out the bass swimming near rocks or trees that were under the surface of the water.

Tips & Warnings

  • Use a soft cloth to clean your sunglasses.

  • Do not use tissue paper to clean sunglasses

    I would love to see some bass! I have polarized prescription lenses, but I'll have to get some polarized sunglasses for my wife. Great tip about not losing them overboard, too!
