Bajio
Zapata
This frame was named after the Zapata swamp in Cuba. This swamp is infested with permit, bonefish, snook, tarpon, snapper, and barracuda. They are keen to eat anything in front of them, and we made a frame you can feed them in. With integrated side shields and an arched brow design, you'll see your target species long before your line leaves the reel.

Tionia
Named for our main road here at Bajío HQ, Tionia bumps up to a tiny creek where kids catch little gar and play with minnow traps. Our home waters may be humble, but this tiny stretch of creek is full of life and provides a great spot to cast and test out our latest shades.
In synch with the smaller things, Tionia rounds out our Metal Collection with a small fit frame for narrower faces. This style is a prime example of fishable fashion with a vintage appeal. Technical features like polarized, blue light blocking lenses meet this funky frame style in a myriad of fun colors.
- Narrow temples
- Flexible nose pads
- Hypo-allergenic stainless steel
- Barrel hinges
Snipes
Authentic, secure and confident—this style endures because it simply looks good and performs great. This squared-off navigator silhouette is equally suited to scanning the tropical turquoise Snipes flat in in the southern keys of Florida (for which it’s named), or staring down the setting sun as your wrap up another fine day on the docks.
How do you improve on a timeless frame style? We’ve gone over every element to bring this classic up to date, using premium stainless steel and the best hinges available. But what you see is what’s the most important, so our polarized lenses are enhanced with patent pending LAPIS technology that not only reduces glare and eye strain, but enhances your vision by blocking blue light. You’ll see better for longer.

Las Rocas
Sight-fishing requires laser focus on the slightest indication—that split-second opportunity when you’ll either set the hook or lament over the one that got away. With so much on the line, you need sunglasses that give you every available advantage. Something solid as a rock. Introducing Las Rocas (rock in Spanish), named for the productive Roca Flat near Campeche, Mexico. These are a solid pair of performance shades indeed.
Made with tough, bio-based nylon, this modern oversized frame protects eyes with complete coverage and vented side shields, reducing glare off the water and overall light intrusion without fogging up. For enhanced clarity and acuity, the color-enhancing polarized lenses feature Bajío’s patent pending blue light-blocking LAPIS™ technology that minimizes eye-fatigue and strain for longer, more productive days out on the water.

Piedra
Named for a memorable flat we encountered on our odyssey expedition through the Yucatan near Campeche, Piedra elicits images of red and back mangroves, casting to the big rolling tarpon on the incoming and sneaking on snook with the outgoing. Designed with a full wrap 8-base wrap and lightweight yet durable bio-based nylon frame, Piedra can perform all day long without weighing you down.
Piedra wide temples block sidelight and provide sun protection so you can focus on the fish in front of you. No-slip rubber nose pads and temple tips keeps shades in place, even in the heat of the moment. Polarized, color-enhancing lenses with patent pending blue light-blocking LAPIS technology bring clarity, color and depth to the entire experience like never before.

Palometa
In Mexico’s Ascension Bay, where schools of tailing permit come to play, the poised angler in the Palometa (Spanish for permit) is ready to slay—all day. Molded with our proprietary bio-based nylon offering an incredible strength to weight ratio, the lightweight Palometa offers serious comfort and extreme durability.
A sized down version of our popular Bales Beach shades, the medium frame Palometa features a wrap-around style with built inside coverage for sun protection and light blocking. Bajío’s ultra-clear, polarized, color-enhancing lenses with patent pending LAPIS™ technology block 95% of blue light combating haze, glare and eye strain.

Hopedale
An iconic fishing community located along Bayou La Loutre in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, Hopedale (aka La Chinche) was established by Isleño fisherman and trappers after the American Civil War. Though the community was destroyed in Hurricane Katrina, the fishing remains incredible. The birthplace of sight-fishing for redfish, anglers flock to Hopedale from all over the country for a chance to fish a small section of marsh for this species in addition to black drum and sheepshead.
Weekend warriors appreciate the cool, casual everyday style for activities beyond angling, but they also love the sun blocking hidden Sun Ledge™, recessed nose pads, durable barrel hinges and the radical clarity of Hopedale’s polarized, blue light blocking lenses. These versatile shades offer a large fit, but somehow are able to work on most every head size. Cast away in Hopedale and you’re sure to hook up.

Wide temples for focus, full wrap for coverage, and rubber nonslip grip for sliding down the tower while chasing blitzing tunas.

This fashionable, fishable, medium-sized frame suits a variety of face types—guys and gals alike. Made from our bio-based nylon with an exceptional strength to weight ratio, Chelem sits lightly while soft and grippy concealed contact points on the nose and temples keep the glasses secure.

Rigolets
Named after a deepwater strait with incredible history just 30 minutes outside of New Orleans, Rigolets means trench in French. The Rigolets supply salt water from the Gulf of Mexico to the expansive Lake Pontchartrain estuary, and along with the sea water comes redfish, speckled trout, largemouth bass, black drum, jack crevalle, sheepshead and tarpon—creating a veritable fish highway and some of the best fishing in the state. Whether it's a speckled trout breaching the surface for a topwater, a redfish sliding down the bank, or a jumping jack exploding like a bowling ball dropped from the sky, there is never a dull moment here.*
Just as the strait is small and narrow, Rigo is designed with a small fit for narrow faces (and anglers who love to tackle crazy big things). Complete with vented, sun blocking side shields and ergo rubber details in all the right places, these full wrap shades also feature our patent pending polarized, blue light blocking lenses with LAPIS™ technology for crisp, clear fish spotting vision.
