Hey guys. I need a new pair of fishing/polarized sunglasses for less than $50, preferably closer to $25. I usually find a decent pair on sale for $25 and am happy with that level quality. Seen any good sales?

Check Walmart. I bought a pair of tortoise shell Amber lens glasses hank Parker brand last week in a pinch when I left my costas at home. 20 bucks and I'll admit I was pretty impressed with the quality of these glasses
I found a pair, called Fish finders at Bass pro, and am still impressed. Its the only one I wear now, I leave my cocoons at home...great find for me, as they fit over my glasses, and are only around 20 bucks...
Calcutta's are pretty cheap, $25 or so. Use them at work for any outside work so if they get messed up I don't mind as opposed to the Kaenon's that are sitting in my bag safely in my room.

I agree. Got a pair as a gift for Christmas and I'm impressed with them.On 4/12/2015 at 10:00 AM, JaxBasser said:Strike King s11
If I need a cheap pair I get the $5 Berkley's from Wal Mart. They work pretty well and when they break, you lose them, or they get scratched up, you just buy a new pair.
Walmart strIke king work well for me. I have been wondering if the expensive brands would be worth it?? Sounds like maybe not.

You get 1 set of eyes in your lifetime, good glasses are absolutely worth it to me.
I wear oakleys because I have for years and love how they fit my head. I actually have two pairs. But I have not gotten around to ordering polarized lenses for one set. I wear Calcutta polarized. Got them by the register at my local tackle shop. Like everyone said tho for long extended use try and take care of your eyes with something quality. But for just wearing fishing the Calcutta perform great
You dont have to buy glasses out of the Sporting Goods dept. Go to the sunglass displays and just look for Polarized . Fishing glasses that wrap around my face get steamed up a lot. I prefer Aviator style anyway. They look cooler .
I've had good luck with Suncloud polarized. They're Smith's cheaper line.
I think Kaenon has a similar, lower-priced line as well.
Polarized Foster Grants have never let me down $20 at rite aid.
Strike kings from Walmart for $15 work great
Did someone say cheap sunglasses?
Got some Coleman floating polarized glasses that are pretty good for 10 dollars at Walmart. I think there $15 normally.

X3. You can find them on Amazon for about $30.
Spider wire from Walmart. ~$15.
Just one of many on this website. They often have 30%-40% coupons. Great site though... You have been warned...

I have a couple pairs (different lens colors) of typhoon sunglasses that I've bought off Ebay. For the price they are very comfortable, polarized and offer great clarity for fishing.
berkely or spiderwire from walmart. I have a big head and they have some that fit and dont squeeze my head. Plus I lost a pair overboard on my kayak. Shrugged it off and just bought a new pair. I would have gone crazy if I had bought some more expensive pair.
I love the Strike King Monsta's for really cheap glasses $24.99, or the S11's. I always have 2 pair in stock. Can't stress the significance of polarized glasses. Of the many things I can see with polarized glasses, probably the most important is being able to see followers or short strikes on my bait. Seeing the structure tells you where the fish might be, seeing the fish react to your bait tells you what mode they are in and without polarized glasses you miss out on both of those key clues to figuring them out.
4 years ago I paid $40 for a pair from a vendor in a tent outside the BX on an Army post. Best sunglasses I've ever owned - totally unbreakable and totally scratch resistant. Lifetime warranty ($10 shipping.) Last fall, the tent was there and I asked about the wear on the rubber on the side...not bad, but a little worn. I handed them $10 and got a brand new identical pair.
Sunglass Discounters. Google 'em and they look like a 'shady' outfit.... Doesn't appear to have an online presence, but if you come across their tent outside a BX or mall or something, I highly recommend them.
For many years, I've worn Walmart Solar Shield fitovers. They're $20 a pair and have side and brow shields. I wear them at work, fishing and for working in the yard at home. I can't (won't) pay big bucks for prescription sunglasses, since eventually they will be lost, broken or scratched so badly they're unusable. I've benn wearing my current pair for three years now and they're still going strong.

I wear Solor Shield flip ups over my prescription glasses. 2 pairs are about 3 years old with no scratches at all, they work well. Hard to find flip ups, most places only have the clip ons, which I don't care for.
The Ike Renegade glasses at Wal-Mart are $25 and better than some more expensive glasses I have.
I use the $5 YUM pair from Walmart. I have about ten pair, they come in both smoke and amber lenses.
Strike king makes some nice cheaper sunglasses and they are typically found at walmart I got mine on clearance for $11 but normally they are between $25 and $30
I used to wear the $10 Berkley ones at Walmart. They were pretty decent for the price. Also the I-gogs Fish Eyes were decent for $25 or $30.
