Would a 15$ pair of glasses from walmart be the same as a 100$ pair? for the polarization effect that is?

You can polarized any translucent material. The difference between polarized fishing sun glasses is the quality of the lens and frame.

You generally get what you pay for.

What I mean is does a 15$ pair work just as good for seeing in the water as a higher priced pair?

Does a pair of Strike King $15 sunglasses have the same performance to eliminate water reflected glare as multiple coated lens like $150 Costa Del Mars....no! If they did everyone would buy the less expensive sunglasses.

Does the $15 work for seeing into the water...yes to some degree.

Ok thanks thats what i was looking for.

The difference in night and day. I can see my jig working in 8' of water with my Costa's. I can barely see 1 foot down with cheap-os

Cheap sunglasses cant even come close to high end glasses... I use Oakleys and also the Numa and Iove both of them!

I used to think that they were the same untill I fished with a buddy who had some Costas. The water was very clear and he could always see the fish following the lure back to the boat and I couldn't. As soon as I got a chance I forked out the money for a good pair of Costas and I have never looked back. Like has been said. You get what you pay for.

You do get what you pay for, most times. Higher cost = better optical clarity and greater degree of polarization. More polarization = less glare

It's like everything else quality comes with a price tag.

To heck with seeing in the water!

Yes, ok, that's important when fishing. In reality, I buy QUALITY polarized glass for the protection they offer. Just look at what the sun does to a colored object that sits in direct sunlight. How about a newly paved road, it's faded in no time. How about impact resistance?

I guess to each his own but you'll never see a $15 pair of glasses protecting my eyes!

thanks for all the replys looks like i'll be buyin me some costas soon
