If you had to pick one pair of polarized sunglasses for fishing, which would you get? I'm trying to decide on my first nice pair, as to this point I've been using some Arnette polarized glasses and they aren't quite getting it done anymore aside from driving. The main fishing applications I will need them for our seeing swimbait followers, sight fishing beds, and sight fishing the surf. Based on the reviews by Rob, I'm currently leaning towards the Kaenon Kore's, but I'm uncertain as to which lens color would be the right call. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

I have two pairs of Kaenons, 2 pairs of Costa Del Mars and a pair of Oakleys. I have to say I prefer the Kaenons hands down over the other brands.

If you get the Kaenons and you want an all around lens, get the C-12 lens. That lens was recommended to me by Mike Long and he was right on, it's a great all around lens. I can't say I've worn every brand of sunglasses but I've worn quite a few and the Kaenons are very tough to beat. They're super light, non-fatiguing, scratch resistant, and above all the optics are just excellent for seeing fish underwater.

I have always been a big fan of Oakley. Then when I got way into bass fishing I found a couple of pairs that you can not go wrong with. The one I wear the most are "Monster Dogs" in Dark Amber/Bronze. I also have "GASCAN" both are great. I was on the water once and my partner was wearing polarize glasses and I was wearing my polarized Monster Dogs and I was trying to point out shad that I could see but he couldn't....Very good performance, well worth the $$$.

I agree on the C-12 lenses. The second pair I got have those lenses on them and they are a great lens for most conditions. I got the yellow lens on the first pair, which work great early in the AM or when it's cloudy.

Thanks for your input everyone. I'm going to go ahead and grab a pair of the Kaenon C-12's and then the next pair I will get will have the yellow lenses.

Thanks again

I have Kaenon's as well... You won't go wrong with these...

What is the color of the C-12 lens?

Hi There, I am a registered optician and I guess for my money I would buy the Maui Jim polorized glasses. Maui Jim has several layers of anti reflective components that make it easy to see through the water and they also have a hydrophobic coating the sloughs off water - they are also usually glass lenses which makes them more durable.
I also work at Costco, not that I am plugging them but they have the best prices on close out models. For under $100 you can get a good pair of glasses - check the return policy at the store as you buy as you might be able to try them out for a few days to see if you like them.

Good luck

Is their a major difference between the small, medium and Large lens sizes? I found a deal where you can get them for $78 and free shipping, but they are the small lens size.

Thanks
