I would recommend a pair of Kaenon Polarized. The most popular among the freshwater guys is the KORE fram with Yellow 35 lens color. Copper 12 is the all around lens. These glasses wrap around your face blocking the side sun from entering and putting out a glare that causes you to squint and have headaches. The lens reflects light back into the water creating greater depth perception along with superb visual perception. The fish tends to just glow or stand out. If you have any questions you can call Brian or Steve of Kaenon at 949-574-7918 or visit your local retailer/dealer. The lens design helps the glasses fit snug to your upper cheek area knocking that glare out also. If you have to ask, yes these are what a majority of the tournament guys are after. Also, they make different frame styles for other personal use or a great gift for the wife/girlfriend/etc. They also come available in Prescription. You must contact Kaenon for further information on that though. Thanks & enjoy-Rich "Bama" Welch Bama

Don't skimp when it comes to your eyes. Probably the most critical piece of gear you can have on the water. Buy an established brand and suck up the payola. Smith has been making shades for yrs and you can't beat the line of Action Optics for the price. Buy glass they will last you longer without as much care. Lens color is up to you, but rose or amber is best in low light conditions like fog or morn or eve or overcast. Neutral grey is good for bright days like on the ocean. When I commercial fished I had a few pairs for each condition. I have never regretted the price except at the register. The angle of polarization is critical, and Smith makes a science of it. You won't be as tired with a good pair either. If you fish for any extended period of time you will develop sun spots or burns on your eyes if you don't take care of them. Plus a good pair will help you see little things that matter such as fish or bottom contour. Do it! BURGIE

Anyone know of a place near Diamond Bar where I can try out some Solarbat or Kaenon sunglasses?

Solarbat glasses are sold at Walmart for $13.00. IMO there is no way they compare to Kaenon.
I believe Anglers Marine in Anaheim sell Kaenon. They start at around $120 and go up. JP

The 'FLW' Solar Bats that Wal-Mart sells are at the very bottom of their quality list. The high end Bats are very nice and range from $90 to $140.
