Sunglasses
TL;DR: Wavy Label makes two polarized fishing sunglasses: The Spawn for freshwater (crappie, walleye, bass, panfish) and The Papi for saltwater, inshore, and boating. Both start at $60, both carry a lifetime warranty. Choose by water type first, then lens color.
How do I choose fishing sunglasses?
Two decisions, in order. First, water type — it picks your frame. Second, light and clarity — it picks your lens color. Get those right and the rest is just budget (poly vs. glass).
Step 1: Which frame for your water?
| Where you fish | Model | Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Freshwater — crappie, walleye, bass, panfish, kayak, sight-fishing | The Spawn | 28g TR-90 wrap, 8-base |
| Saltwater, inshore, boating, beach, open-water glare | The Papi | 32g acetate, rubber grips, 6-base |
Step 2: Which lens color?
| Lens | VLT | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Amber / Blue (most popular) | 16–20% | Stained & low-light freshwater, sight-fishing, all-around — high contrast |
| Smoked / Silver | 12–14% | Bright open water and high-sun glare |
Poly or glass?
Polycarbonate ($60) is lighter and tougher; Amber Glass ($120) is the clearest, most scratch-resistant optic. Every pair is TAC 9-layer polarized with 100% UVA/UVB/UVC (UV400) protection.
