For many years I though that wearing polarized sun glasses wasn't necessary while fishing. That was until my friend finally enlightened me as to the benefits of wearing polarized glasses. Once I finally gave them a try, I've never looked back, and am still amazed at how much they can help the average angler. For those of you who are like I used to be, hopefully this article will help enlighten you to the power of polarized glasses to fishing.The biggest benefit aspect of wearing polarized sunglasses while fishing is probably the fact that they enable you to see under the water like you can't with normal sunglasses. You see the polarization cuts the glare on the water, which is all you normally see when you look at a lake or river on a sunny day. This glare prohibits you from seeing what's "under" the water. And for anglers, what's under the water is quite important, whether it be fish or structure.I personally like to wade rivers and streams and my polarized glasses help me identify structure, such as underwater sticks and rocks, that fish like to ambush their prey from. In one of the areas I fish, I was able to identify some great area's that were going un-fished because other anglers couldn't see certain pieces of structure. Polarized sun glasses also come in handy when a fish has been hooked. Rather than just seeing the "flash" of a hooked fish, polarized glasses enable you to judge the size of the fish. This can be a great advantage as well.Now that you know some of the advantages to wearing polarized sun glasses while fishing let me let you in on the bad news. Good polarized sun glasses aren't cheap. Oh sure you can go to your local superstore and find a pair for twenty bucks, but in most cases they aren’t worth the plastic they come in. Like many things on this earth, you get what you pay for. The more expensive polarized sun glasses have better polarization and therefore cut through the glare that much better. And the more glare that can be eliminated, the better. A good pair of polarized sunglasses may cost you upwards of $100, but they really are worth it. I know after spending the amount of money that I did on mine, I take really good care of them. The good thing about spending that amount of money is that I've had those glasses for more than 7 years. In my mind, that makes it alright. That and the fact that the glasses have become all but indispensable to me. Just don't cut corners, because if you go with the inexpensive version, they will just disappoint and frustrate you.The bottom line is that a good pair of polarized sun glasses is paramount to the serious angler. Just remember that the quote you've heard your whole life is completely true with polarized sun glasses; you get what you pay for.
