T.F.M. Approved - Smith Optics

I've had a pair of Toaster's for the past ten years and over that time period Smith Optics has taken an already great product and made it better through new technology and design. These sunglasses are clearly not the typical fly fishing sunglasses you pick off the rack at the fly shop on your way out the door. Smith Optics are a high quality fishing tool that really will help you see the water differently.

Gabe Schroder of Smith Optics and I conversed in a few emails and it wasn't to long before I had two pairs of Trace Interlock sunglasses for Mike Carlson and I to use during the Cuttie-Thon event.

The Trace Interlock sunglasses are perfect fly fishing sunglasses since they allow you the possibility to change out lenses in a matter of seconds. The carry case provided for the sunglasses holds up to three sets of extra lenses so you always have what you need.

I'll be honest and tell you that it took a couple of days to get used to these sunglasses while fly fishing in Wyoming. I was not used to seeing through the glare like I could with these lenses and when a large cutthroat would rise through the water column to inspect our passing flies I struck early time after time. These glasses are flat out amazing.

Smith Optics are already showing off a few new styles and updates for 2009...check them out at www.smithoptics.com.
