“The rose mirror lens color is the ticket for daily needs; we rarely have cloudless days here. The lens helps see the reds, seatrout and tarpon in contrast to the bottom. On sunny days, the lens cut glare so the surface roll and flash of prime targets or bait can be seen from a distance.” — Capt. Alan Jackson, NearShore Guiding, Beaufort County, South Carolina

“When it comes to our Lowcountry marsh, you have to be ready for it all. A calm sunny morning can quickly give way to intermittent or heavy cloud cover. Sight fishing is our preferred game, and around here, copper lenses reign supreme. This lens color fits with local water color to make shapes pop. I also wear a frame that prevents peripheral light from creeping into the corners of your eyes that can skew your focus and obscure your vision.” — Capt. Cleve Hancock, Brown Dog Sport Fishing, Charleston, South Carolina

“The new Navigator frames are growing on me due to the light-blocking panels on the side of the frame. For the inshore waters I fish, green mirror/amber lenses or grey mirror/yellow lenses are the way to go. I keep both handy every time I’m out. On a typical sunny day, the green mirror/amber lens is my choice to reflect green light away from the eye.” — Capt. Tyler Kapela, Hit and Run Charters, Tampa Bay, Florida
