REAL bass fisherman don't need sunglass...they fish at night.
Goose, I think you are right. Unfort, I had been convinced I had to have these expensive perscription lenses, then I broke them. Are the better...yes, are the worht the $...no, not unless you NEED them.
There is a noticable difference between the 12 buck wallmarts and the costa del mars or action optics that I think most fisherman would like on those intense glare days when you thank God you remembered to bring your sunglasses.
I have never lost a pair overboard...what I loose overboard are pliers, I loose lots of pliers overboard and as soon as they rust I get POed and throw them overboard. Sunglasses..I just brake those.
