Some New Bling

[Cody]

Its been awhile since ive shelled out for a decent pair of fishing sunglasses so decided to go grab some decent ones for stalking bream on the flats. Ive always been a spotters fan,but decided on something diffrent and got a quality pair of maui jims. Just wondering if any readers have used these before and how they rated them to other brands? Also decided a new reel was in order for some light snapper so shouted myself a new daiwa certate 2500.

Hi @Cody

I've literally done the same thing and bought a pair of Maui Jim Red Sands after owning a pair of Spotters

The Spotters are a great pair of sunglasses, but I found them fogging up first thing in the morning and uncomfortable after prolonged use (probably because of my thick head ).

The Maui Jims are the most comfortable pair of sunglasses I have ever worn and from what I've read the lens aren't too bad either.

I'll let you know how mine go next time I'm fishing with them.

A mate has MJ's and loves them. I have stayed with the Spotter Christo frame with Glass lenses after trying a number of different spotters before the Christo style. I can wear them for 14 hrs without a worry yet  other spotters styles hurt became uncomfortable after 1-2hrs ,so it all about finding the one that most fit your face.

Never used a Certate myself but I've heard good reports on them.

Go get the snaps

Ian. I absolutely  love my maui jims. Only used them 3 times so far but polaroiding bream is so much easier now. I got the glass lens ones and they are absolutely  a delight to wear. No fogging and  comfortable. .... luvit. I intend on giving the bay bream and the small snaps a flogging on the certate reel soon. Thinking of matching it up to a nordic stage sharp shooter

I am on my second pair of Maui Jims. I lost the last pair in Vietnam last year and couldn't wait to get back to order a new pair. I have the magnifiers in mine so when I used to use them for fishing I only needed one pair of specs.  Problem I had with them was that they did scratch from the salt no matter how careful I was. So I went back to an old pair of Flying Fisherman glasses that I won at a AFO (or BFO as it was then).  Not quite as good quality and not as comfy but much more scratch resistant.

The MJs are still my daily sunnies and I couldn't live without them. Just my thoughts.

I had a pair or mjs and I loved them.

I think they now reside somewhere on the sea bed.

Since I started needing prescription glasses I just get whatever spec savers sunnies I buy polarized. Not as "flash" as some I have owned (mjs, flying fishermen, spotters) but they do the job.
