Depending on how long you’ve been fishing, you might remember the look of the early versions of polarized fishing glasses. That retro aviator shape. The classic side panels. First launched in the late 1980s, this legacy favorite was worn by arguably the best anglers in saltwater fly fishing: Flip Pallot, Jose Wejebe, Lefty Kreh, Chico Fernandez, Stu Apte, and more. You might even remember seeing them on those golden-era fishing shows of the 1990s, like Flip Pallot’s “Walker’s Cay Chronicles.”
