By the time you finish this sentence, 10,000 shrimp have lost their lives to redfish, trout, snook, drum, and tarpon. They are a prime find for any fish they meet in the sea. They’re tasty, defenseless, and swim like that kid who never learned how to.

There are thousands of scorpion species, but one in particular you definitely want to avoid. The bark scorpion has a sting that kills. You don't want these little critters crawling where you're cruising.

This is the meanest fish in the smallest ponds. These baby bullies have been yanking bobbers and crushing poppers since the invention of the Zebco 33, and have probably recruited more anglers than anything else with fins.

Named after Kevin Beach’s battleship of a Freeman, Palehorse is the frame you need to get it done, when the conditions tell you to call it off. With removable side shields, integrated sun shelves, and vented non-slip rubber finishes, this horse was born to run.

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 Palehorse’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 Palehorse and you’re sure to hook up.

This XL frame is the result of an XL fish. In South America, the term ‘Zancoch̦o’ refers to the phenomenon of reeling up nothing but a fish head. When your snapper goes missing, or your tuna gets sharked, the head left is a reminder of what lurks below. Flex hinges and fully removable side shields make this frame fit for big predators above and below the water line.

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.

• Flexible nose pads
• Hypo-allergenic stainless steel

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
