Stalking - essential accessory

[Newt]

To have the best chance when stalking fish, you need to be stealthy and to be able to see into the water as far as possible.

 

From previous discussions we know that polarized glasses help with seeing into the water and reduce the glare. Good things to have but you can do better.

 

 

So, for a mere $150

Unobtainium® for added grip,

ultra-light O Matter® material for frame construction

XYZ Optics® to eliminate distortion.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

I didn't see how it could get any better. But then I noticed that only the frame is camo so you still have that nasty lens piece to spook the fish. Not good. But there is an option and at only 1/3 the cost.

CamoVision™ Eye Wear Sunglasses

 

For the first time ever, you'll be able to enter the field without having to worry about spooking game because they saw your eyes. These revolutionary sunglasses use state-of-the-art technology that bonds camo patterns to the lenses without interfering with your field of vision. The functional, wraparound lenses are made of a tough polycarbonate that meet FDA requirements for impact resistance and feature an anti-reflective coating. They reduce glare and surface reflection and allow more light to pass through for decreased eye fatigue. Sturdy frame has a non-slip nose piece. Water resistant.

Yea but the nose piece stands out like a sore thumb. That would spook pike instantly. Made me jump when I saw it

I posted this sort of as a joke but if I didn't wear prescription glasses, I might go for a pair of the bottom ones myself. They do make sense for bow hunters who have already invested in camo-everything-else and paid even more to get the clothing that is scent free.

 

The Oakley glasses are great if you are a competition shooter but a little OTT otherwise - unless you have lots of money.

Rang up and asked about the "Unobtainium®" option.

 

I have a shedload of spare unobtainium if it helps. All removed from the centre of metal washers. Let me know how much you need.

 

From MetalSuppliersOnline

 

Also known as oopsium, thatsalaughium, inyourdreamsium, notavailium, ucantbeserium and nolongerproducedium, Unobtainium is the most costly element known to man. We can loosely define it as any metal that is specified by Engineering and unavailable to Purchasing. Too often, materials are selected for an application solely on the basis of chemical, physical or mechanical properties. When an obscure material, is specified in an odd quantity, size, product form, temper or specification, you’ve got Unobtainium.
