For spotting fish I'd say bronze, blue in my opinion isn't the best for looking into the water. This is a good video on selecting lens colour. It's Costa specific but will get you set on the right path regardless of manufacturer you choose. Peter, the host of the video, is extremely knowledgeable and has fished the globe for nearly everything that swims.

Oakleys every time for me. Love them and they seem to hold up for me.

I also use RX Progressive Maui Jim’s. Yes they are pricey , but you get what you pay for. I have never had a problem with them and now have 2 pairs. Always use Chums so they don’t accidentally float away.

costco sells kirkland brand sunglasses for $40. it's actually pretty good... they are real glass, pretty light, and polarized.

I got rx Maui Jims through my optometrist at huge expense ($850) a few years ago. I think the brown polarized produces a great picture for fishing and general use.. I was careless with them and they started to get pretty scratched. I noticed that some of the scratches were caused by the arm ends touching the inside of the lens when the glasses were crushed in a soft case. On a flyer, i sent them back to MJ through my optometrist saying "design flaw". They sent me brand new rx lenses and frames in about 3 weeks without comment. So Im a believer (and am careful to now use a hard case)

I have used Smith and Costa and found them both to be great. Probably slightly prefer my Costa just the way they fit my face. I find my ears a little sore after a full day with the smiths.

Loving the Julbo Montebianco (they are a European manufacture). Every time I meet the rep at one of our (mountain) guide events I've been trying to convince them to design a fishing line of sunglasses... Still trying. I use the Chameleon (Cat 2 to 4 Polarized)! Love them! Just need to get them changed to a Rx now (don't want to learn how much that will be). Supposedly Julbo has the fastest polychrome technology, but who knows... https://julbo-canada.ca/collections/mountain-sunglasses/products/montebianco Also had the bivouac (same lens) but they were too big for my face. Sold them to a guy on the Redneck board and he said they were the best sunglasses he has ever used! P
