I got myself a pair of Flying Fisherman Calcuttas after reading a review from a Trout Fishing Mag in which they were voted the best in a test of about a dozen different pairs, including Bolle specs the cost 3 times as much.

They don't look particularly cool, but they do a good job of spotting cruising carp when stalking.

You'll have to ask Craig which ones he uses but I believe they are CK ones. He got them from the Donny tackle show and are spot on. Looking back I wish i'd got a pair too. Think they cost around a tenner at the show but retail normally around the £40 mark.

Drop boothie a PM his specs are prescription polaroids and they are spot on. He just wears them all the time as day to day glasses. Infact he's got em on in the picture on the forum main page.

The best i`ve used and i`ve had 2 pairs (knackered fist lot-big wave whilst bassing!) are Bolle ones, the do a great range, although not cheap they are the hounds rounds! I`ve got mine from ths US via ebay for about 40squids.
You can find em also in the fluff chucking mags & catalogs, but ebay`s the best bet.
I had some Optix cormorants for years too, they were great on performance but lacking in style so you could see the fish but you wouldn`t want em seeing you, lookin like tit!
Hope this helps

Do you know who stocks the ones?

Thing to do is buy tackle from some of the larger mail order companies (glasgow/fishtec) everytime you spend over £100 they throw a pair in!
great the first time but I now have about 6 pairs!
I recently got some airflo one on one such deal, they seem to be the mutts for the price (if they`d been payed for!) I`ve used em in place of my bolles

Got a pair going spare Marc?

My Arnette ones got sent to the auction along with my last company car (left them in one of the storage compartments)

Call....
"just sent my car back and left my glasses in the compartment next to the steering column will you post them back to me"

"OK we'll get them in the post in the morning"

hmmmmm still wondering why they never turned up!
