I don't really like the yellow lens (Koenig I think) glasses I have either. I usually use an Ocean Waves amber or backwater green (glass) lenses for sight fishing. For other uses I just use offshore blue lenses. I always buy glass lenses because they are more scratch resistant in my opinion.

Ron/Chad/anyone else - have you guys compared yellow lenses to greens for sight fishing? Maybe its my eyes, or my glasses, but I haven't felt like yellow to be ideal (at least my Natives) and am being recommended green/moss lenses.

Well Oakley all the way. I have a diffrent pair for every weather condition but if I had to pick one it would probably be the Antix or Monste Dog with a Amber lens. That seems to be the best for all around here. But down south or in eastern Wa I like a dark lens. There are a ton of diffrent ones that really work great. If any one is interested in trying a pair out let me know. I will get ya some to try for a day of fishing.

I have worn Kaenons for a few years now and I really like them. Like a few others have mentioned, the yellow lenses are my favorite for low light conditions and most sight fishing situations.

I can feel my eyesight becoming weaker these past couple years. For those of you that wear glasses and/or contacts, do you have a preference as to wearing contacts and standard polarized sunglasses or prescription polarized sunglasses when fishing? Thanks for the feedback.

I'm an Oakley guy myself. Have always worn Oakley for sports. There is 2 pairs in Banks if anyone is interested?

Maybe the yellow lens glasses I have are called Kaenons like Tag says. I bought them because they were highly recommended by Ron but for some reason they just don't work to well for me.

i have oakley monster pups. great for ppl with prettEH hair. these are the only ones i can actually wear all day long.

lenses are swapable, but i have the brown polarized ones. i wear them from sun up to sun down, and they are incredible in the rain. i also wear them for sports, and driving of course.

they are easily replacable, and you can oakleys virtually anywhere.

they are great for on and off the lake.

DAMN!!! I was going to have them hexed, you figued me out. There goes that plan. LOL. Ya money wise they are spendy but I have been with Oakley for a long time and they "help me out" with them. So not as much as you would think and if I had that much I would let ya borrow it, with interest of course, really really high interest

Tag, I wear contacts and prefer to wear just standard polarized glasses. I don't see why there would be a difference in prescription polarized glasses or standards with contacts. Then again I do get hung up on quit a few lawn ornaments from time to time.

Hey Crumb,

Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify, I was inquiring about wearing contacts or prescription polarized sunglasses, not actually in tandem. However, I wonder if I could see into the water as well as Jr. if I wore contacts and prescription polarized sunglasses at the same time. Highly unlikely....
