Watching The Water

Watching a float all day into low sun is hard work, and a polarised lens takes the glare off the surface so you can actually see the tip of it. They also let you see into the margins, which turns stalking into a proper method — you can watch fish come to your bait and strike at the right moment rather than at the right-looking moment. Amber or copper lenses suit our typically overcast light, grey suits bright days. Make sure they’re polarised and not just tinted.
