Look at a bright sunlit windshield or car hood with polarized sunglasses. Tilt your head left and right, you will see exactly how polarized lenses work.
I used to fish without glasses in general, and by the end of the day my eyes would be bloodshot. Not good for my eyes at all. Moved up to a gas station polarized pair, and it helped me see a lot more. Finally got a nice pair of eye surrenders and it’s definitely been the difference in a few fish catches
Wish some of the good brands would make fit overs . $800 for prescription Costas and now my prescription has changed . Cocoons are ok but they just don't last that good . I bet if Wiley x made some a bunch of people like me that don't like contact lenses would buy them
Thanks for the good video. Cool little trick that really shows the vertical lines in the glasses, if you have two pair of polarized lenses, stack one on top of the other and look through the two lenses and you can see fine. Turn one pair 90 degrees and polarized lenses will block 100 percent of the light and they will look black.
Tacitalbassin makes a good pair of sun glasses for any type of weather copper/amber and grey lenses work beautifully they are a little pricey but worth the price!!!
as someone who went from your walmart level sunglasses to Strike King Polarized. Game changer for bank fishing. and for us budget guys. They are only 33 dollars. not horrible
Do polarized mess with your graphs? When I look at my phone, or the stupid console in my car with polarized it screws up what I see, don't have a boat, just curious how it affects your graphs.
great video Brian, yes polarized is a huge difference in fishing, Ive worn them for as long as they have been available and on clear days I can see better on an angle to the fish. Straight down they work great too but that viewing on an angle is really way better with polarized. I do have two pairs, one polarized and one HD blue, in murky backwaters Ill often wear the HD because they create a nice overall color in bright sun, tight lines man!!
I swore by my 6$ Berkley polarized glasses until I won a pair of glass Costas at a turkey banquet. I was blown away. Blown away by the difference in how much more I could see. Now I have a pair with green lenses that are awesome in low light and the blue for bright light. The green lenses make driving in the rain (inside the truck) so much easier too as a bonus! *funny, I wrote this before watching you explain the same thing. I've been trying to explain this to others, now I'll show them you explaining it, and they'll listen!
I used to wear the $5 bs walmart glasses and just this year grabbed a pair of Nike polarized glasses from dick's for like 100 bucks because i would wear em while not fishing too...night and day...I never knew there could be such a difference or what I was missing out on...
I have both Costas and WileyX’s , and I’ll say, they are both very good at filtering (i generally use amber lenses with green mirror, since we don’t have blue water in mississippi). WileyX let a bit more light in, the costas do better for bright days
My eyes are so messed up that a regular pair of glasses costs me around $700. I can’t spend that much again on a pair of prescription sunglasses. Cocoons fit-overs are ok but it’s a pain looking through both sets of lenses.
Hey Cuzzin , what you doing with an evinrude engine on that other boat ? Shouldnt you be sporting a Mercury on that boat like your big boat ? just axsin .
When I can find a brand - any brand - where the mirror finish doesn't rub off when I have to wipe my lenses clean, that brand will have a customer for life. I've gone through 6 pairs of sunglasses already this year because the finish keeps rubbing off. You'd think if you paid $90 or more for a pair of sunglasses, the finish wouldn't wear off so easily!
Not sure what brand of sunglasses you have but I've never had that problem with WileyX, Oakley, or Costas. I just use a soft microfiber cloth to wipe them.
Good stuff. I noticed on day I took my son to the zoo and looking down in the aquarium my son said I can't see it I handed him my shades I see it know 😎
If you are going to make funny faces in the thumbnails....I'm going to watch the video..... I guess I'm a sucker. Seriously though I did actually watch for your thoughts on polarized glasses.
To keep it simple: - polarization removes glare - lens color filters wavelengths (or color of light) - lens darkness regulates the amount of light Yellowish glasses have a brightening effect (making the surrounding "light up"), grey or brown lenses usually block most wavelengths uniformely and are used to reduce light in general.
