Big Fish 1983 Virtual Polarized Sunglasses

Product benefits

The Virtual polarized fishing sunglasses are designed to deliver ultra-precise vision beneath the surface. Their wide 180° polarized shield drastically reduces glare and enhances contrast so you can follow your lures, identify holding spots and spot fish with ease.

The boldly styled frame is not just aesthetic: its wraparound curvature effectively limits side light intrusion. This provides consistent visual comfort, even when the sun shifts or you turn your head to follow a fish in a fight.

These polarized fishing sunglasses offer excellent protection against UVA and UVB rays, and protect against harsh outdoor elements: wind, spray, light rain, splashes and dust.

Whether fishing from the bank, a float-tube or a boat, the Virtual quickly becomes an essential accessory alongside your rod or lifejacket. It helps you read the surface better, anticipate obstacles and significantly reduce eye fatigue during long sessions or in bright conditions.

Advantages and key points

The main advantage of the Virtual polarized sunglasses is that they transform the way you read the water. By removing most reflections, they let you see through the surface: substrate, breaks, stumps, rocks, weedbeds, and both stationary and moving fish become much more visible.

This improved visibility not only enhances sight fishing effectiveness but also many modern techniques: twitching, vertical fishing, drop shot, river wading, hunting predators along edges or submerged structures. You can place your casts with greater precision and reduce snags on submerged obstacles.

Reducing glare and surface reflection also decreases eye strain. Over a full day in the sun this is crucial: fewer headaches, less eye irritation and better concentration during critical moments like subtle bites or fights near structure.

Thanks to their curved wraparound frame, the Virtual sunglasses remain comfortable regardless of head tilt. Whether scanning overhangs or looking down from a boat, stray light is limited. This consistent comfort increases your confidence and control while moving along banks or on the water.

Finally, their modern, assertive style makes them suitable both for fishing and everyday wear: driving, waterside walks, outdoor activities… You keep effective eye protection while enjoying a technical, dynamic look.

Usage tips

To get the most from your Virtual polarized fishing sunglasses, put them on at the start of the session, even if light still seems low. This helps your eyes adapt gradually and avoids sudden changes when the sun strengthens.

When observing the water, slightly tilt your head and change your viewing angle until you find the position where reflections disappear most. The polarizing filter will then reveal submerged details: fish, breaks, sunken logs, weedbeds, rock formations…

Clean the lenses regularly with a soft cloth to preserve polarization efficiency. Avoid rough fabrics or abrasive products that could scratch the surface and degrade optical quality.

In case of rain, spray or splashes, gently wipe droplets to maintain clear vision. Always store your sunglasses in a hard case or protective pouch when not in use, especially during transport by boat or car.

Tip: positioning yourself with your back to the sun and slightly elevated above the water often maximizes the polarizing effect, making it easier to detect moving fish and obstructive hazards.
