How to choose the right fishing glasses?

This accessory is a must-have for any fishing enthusiast, especially those who participate in various trophy fishing trips. Although the Putorana Plateau's weather conditions are different from many others, polarized sunglasses will ensure anglers don't have to worry about their eyesight.

How polarized glasses work

The advantages and benefits of these glasses for fishing stem from their unique design. They help reduce eye strain in both winter and summer. Polarized lenses block various light reflections, from ice and snow in winter and from sunlight reflecting off the water in summer.

Not every angler realizes that such glare can not only blind them while hunting peaceful and predatory fish, interfering with their fishing, but can also impair their vision. Reflections from water or ice surfaces cause eye fatigue, thus disrupting normal bodily processes.

Therefore, polarized sunglasses should be a must-have for hunters, fishermen, and hikers. After all, rafting often involves windy conditions, which create ripples, and even a small ray of sunlight can significantly interfere with fishing, adversely affecting vision.

Advantages and benefits:

• Polarized glasses allow you to more accurately monitor the process, wiring, and bites.
• In the clear waters of the reserve, they can be used to detect schools of predatory fish deep in the water column. This allows casting directly to the best fishing spots. It's also easier to avoid snags because the bottom is clearly visible.
• Excellent visibility also allows you to make the most attractive movements, thereby enticing predators to attack.
• When fly fishing When jigging or fishing with a jig, optics are great for seeing how the line moves. It's easier to follow the movement of the cord or fishing line.

What criteria should I use to choose?

Experienced fishermen and hunters recommend considering the markings when choosing glasses. These are located inside the frame and can be as follows:

• CE, an abbreviation for certification in the European Union.
• UV400 means protection from ultraviolet rays. Its limit is 95%.
• P, this letter, indicates that the accessory has a polarization filter.

The numbers on polarized glasses indicate the frame size and production date. When choosing glasses, choose ones that fit snugly and securely. Don't overdo it; the glasses should fit comfortably and securely, without any strain or pulling.

Glasses should also feel comfortable on your nose. They shouldn't press or pinch the bridge of your nose, but they should also fit snugly. If they're too big, they'll constantly slip off and shift, while too small will rub your nose.
