Stalkers v's Spotters

Ben Scott · #1 19-02-2003, 02:12 AM

Just wondering if anyone has used Stalkers sunnies.
I want to get a good pair soon as I can and have been offered them cheap compared to $250! Info much apreciated.

Fish hard

I was blown away by mine until they got nicked two weeks ago in albany.
And remember, in popular fishing areas, alway, i repeat always, wear them at all times

go the spotters.
i showed my spotters to pete s the other day and i think he said they are better (pete, you would have to verify that)

the cheapest place to get spotters (to my limited knowledge) is Whitworths
www.whitworths.com.au
@ $199

stalkers lens clarity and polarising are awesome!!!

the only downside to them is the weight. im use to wearing cycling glasses that weigh 30gms. after a couple of hours i get a sore bridge of the nose from this weight. i tried on kevins spotters (thanks kev...you might have just cost me $199

) and the weight difference is significant.

i havent fished with spotters so its impossible to compare fish sighting differences between them

I have Stalkers and Makos... the Makos are a glass lens and more expensive, whereas I only have polycarb. Stalkers, so I can't really compare.

Maui Jims beat them (and Sport Optics) hands down, but you sure pay for it, especially the Titanium framed ones... I have never tried a pair of Spotters but they seem to get good reports...

Hey guys, try Mako's. Best sunnies I've come across and Campbells in Leederville have them for really good prices.
Have a squizz at www.campbellsprotackle.com for more details.

Cheers

If you are going to spend $200 - $400 on sunglasses you might as well have the best. My opinion on "best"? Serengeti's - no competition. I've owned all sorts of sunnies, and what the ad for Serengeti's says is true - "Once you have worn them, you will wear nothing else."

ben
The fishing was challenging but good.
Got a fair bit of info from the locals at the king tavern.
Also got stiched up on a six weight fly rod by what i assume was a mulloway further upstream.

incidently, i wondered whether the rivers may hold the occasional GH?
I know ists a long way south but you never know anymore....
cheerio

I've used a few different brands of sunnies & for me its "Spotters" all the way

pete s · #11 20-02-2003, 01:30 AM

have you used stalkers ravin??? im keen to get an on the water opinion on clarity and polarising qualities between the 2

Ben Scott · #12 20-02-2003, 01:32 AM

Thanks boy's ,
So Stalkers are O.K. but spotters are the best hey. Food for thought definatly.

Alex ,
How far up the King did you go , I have only fished around the Lower King Bridge. Any info much apreciated.

Happy fishing
Ben

I tried a pair of stalkers for about 2 hours a week or so ago while my mate tried my Spotters. Not a long test & not under varying conditions but in my opinion the Spotters were better by a fair margin. My mate went & bought a pair of Spotters so I leave it at that.

pete s · #14 20-02-2003, 01:41 AM

thanks for that ravin. mastercard loves me
