A quick video and now i understand better. Thanks!

Appreciate it!

Thanks for the great info in the video

best breakdown, straight to the point

This was excellent JP, going to share it to 613BASS'N 😎

I am not a fan of Oakley products but I do like their lens system that tells you what activity the lens was made for. Oakley uses a system for the type of water your fishing as well.

Cool man - thanks!

Which type is best for wade cast netting? Great info by the way.

Tell me what is the best color when you wont use costas, but fish in saltwater (mostly sunny days or sunny\cloudy days) where the water is blue\green ish? Fishing for Salmon. Cheers from sweden

Very good we need an update on this video to include the green lenses. I fish Long Island sound which, depending on your spot of the day, could be either offshore (deep) or inshore (shallow).

The Costa mirror green (outside) with copper lens is the best of both worlds if I had to pick one.

Copper is good on all types no matter what the weather is doing. Plain and simple. 😁😎👍👍👍

Thank you

Great vid very helpful thanks.Do Costa provide a service for having a prescription polarised lens?

Yes they do. Just visit the site as they have all the info you are looking for.

What do you recommend for general use for fishing and driving ? I'm thinking of going with mirror green or mirror silver.

hi, what's your take on Oakley model deepwater and shallow water lenses? Fishing in Patagonia (rivers and lakes). Greetings

@ak4939

Rivers and Lakes I would certainly go with the Oakley prizm Shallow water polarized (Rose/Copper base with a Green mirror). Out in the ocean, I would go with the deepwater polarized (Rose/grey base with a Cobalt Blue mirror).

Nice i like that

I have a question to ask you, how should you have tried these two, which color would you choose, copper or mirror green? I fish exentially in dams where the color of the water is green. Thank you

Copper and Mirror Green really have the same lens color. Both are Copper based lenses, the difference is that the Mirror Green finish helps reflect unwanted light a little better from entering the eye. There are only 3 base colors of lens from Costa, Gray, Copper and Yellow, each allowing differing amounts of light in. The outside finish doesn't change the base lens colour. Go with a mirror green/copper base for your water, they will do the best overall job.

Thanks for the tip, but I continue with a question, how many types has the mirror green lens? What are the mixtures? mirror green gray base, mirror green copper base and mirror green yellow? It's a little confusing for me. Or do I just buy Mirror Green? Sorry for my stupid questions. Thank you

@JPDeRoseOutdoors

Mirror Green from Costa only has a copper base. Mirror Blue have a gray base, Mirror Silver is also a copper base. No question is stupid, if you're going to invest in a good pair of glasses, you should be certain of what you are buying. IMO, go with the mirror green... the only other decision you have is which frame will fit you best, of which I have no idea...lol

Mirror finish does absolutely nothing. The polarization lens tint is what enhances the contrast. Polarization period is the way to go. I personally do grey polarized at 85% with a blue mirror finish for coolness.

I used green lenses a long time ago and liked them but had a lot of dizziness issues with the brand, likely caused by distortion around the edges of the lens. Costa doesn't have a green lend for me to compare side by side.

Perfect. The mirror blue / grey lens was designed for blue offshore water but the green / copper lens is my favourite for inshore and freshwater

#1,,, Don't buy Costa!!!!! Buy Smith Copper polarchromic glases. The will blow away Costa's big time. I have converted 100s of fisherman and women to Smiths. It's a night and day difference. Copper is the go to. We see fish that people with Costa's never see. Don't mater if u are stream fishing,river fishing, lake fishing, or ocean fishing. I have done it all and proved to Costa's owners that smith is waaaaaaaaaaay better. Some literally go get their money back and go buy Smith. Jst being honest. Good luck.😁😎😎😎👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣

No such thing as “the best color lens for fishing” because there are different weather and water conditions Cheers
