Sunglasses

Investing a little money into good quality sunglasses has results that are two fold. Firstly, and perhaps most importantly to an avid angler, it gives you a real advantage on the bank. No matter the cloud cover, if there is light hitting the water there will be a reflection. In high sunlight, this reflection appears as a glare, and makes spotting the movement of dark carp in murky waters – already a difficult challenge – impossible. Although a stylish baseball cap (which can be found in our collection of angling clothing) can go someway to remedying this problem, sunglasses are the only real solution if you want to truly be able to see further under the surface of the water.

All of the sunglasses in our range have been produced with anglers in mind, and as such they are finely tuned to aid the angler to see deeper under the water. In this sense, a good quality pair of fishing sunglasses can do the world of good to increasing your catch rate, as it means you can really pinpoint your target.

However, choosing the right fishing sunglasses is about so much more than performance – it’s also about your own personal protection. Spending hour after hour in the sun is undoubtedly one of the core pleasures of angling, but at the same time has the potential to do real damage to your eyes. As such, you need to invest in sunglasses that not only assist with your enjoyment in general, but also look after your health.

The same sharp glare that disrupts your visibility also bounces harmful UVA and UVB rays into your eyes. Ultra-violet rays are present in all light, but when concentrated in these glares they can do very real damage. UVB are the rays most people are aware of, as they cause the surface damage to the skin that we see as a burn. Not many people know that your eyes can burn too – and the more sensitive your skin is the more sensitive your eyes are. Obviously it’s impossible to use sun cream on your eyes, so good quality sunglasses that promise to block UVB are the only way to go.

UVA rays are less widely known, but they are the ones that do the lasting damage. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and change the structure of the cells. This effect is seen overtime in liverspots, discolouration, and other things usually associated with the aging process. If the sun is having that effect on your skin, you can imagine the kind of effect it has on your eyes. The importance of blocking out reflective glare and generally improving visibility cannot be overstated, as it really does wonders for the health of your eyes. As such, there’s really no sense in taking any chances on products you cannot wholly trust.
