For the serious fisherman, the most important question regarding equipment is not about rods or reels or flies... it's about what you put on your eyes! If you can't see the fish, the best rod or the smoothest drag or the best fly pattern is worth zip. Experienced anglers know this and often ask me this crucial question:
"In your opinion who makes the best RX polaroid sunglass and what is the best color lens for prescription sunglasses?"
Here is my answer:
I like Smith Sunglasses. Some people know them as Action Optics, but AO is owned by Smith. I like the Igniter or Copper lens color. I prefer the polarchromic lens if your RX can be made in this glass lens.
The frame style should be dictated by the size of your head and your personal preference.
Whatever you choose, I want a frame style that covers your field of vision and filters enough light so you don't have to squint.
But back to Smith Optics...
Their primary Fishing RX Dispensing Optician is Janet Bagley and she is well versed in the intricacies of RX’s. Her direct line is 208-726-6524.
Mention Angling Destinations or me, Scott Heywood, and I'm sure they will bend over backwards to help you. (Make sure you include your PD (pupil distance) with your RX.)
