Float Your Way To Better Scores with Hobie® Eyewear

Snook Float by Hobie Eyewear

Oceanside, CA (April 16, 2024)—“Bloop!” Serious anglers will instantly recognize the sound. Another pair of favorite sunglasses is headed to the bottom, never to be seen again. Cue that sinking feeling…

“It’s amazing how many anglers stop by our show booths with tales of sunglasses they’ve “donated” to the depths – often at a cost of $150 or more,” says Stephen Vaughan, Senior Director of Product Development at Hobie® Eyewear. “Those stories are especially tough when they tarnish the shine of catching a personal best, beast of the day, or that first fish with someone special.”

This is exactly why Hobie® Eyewear has added its popular Everglades and Snook polarized sunglasses to its already impressive line-up of “Float” models. “Our Everglades Float emerged as the standout style at the 2024 Bassmaster Classic!” said Dylan Coates, Marketing Manager for Hobie® Eyewear. “The new satin grey frame with cobalt blue mirror lens proved our top-selling SKU at the expo. That pair propelled Hank Cherry into the Super Six on the final day at Grand Lake O the Cherokees in Tulsa, OK. It’s also the favorite sunglasses of perennial Elite Series contender and two-time Bassmaster Classic qualifier Carl Jocumsen.”

Hobie® Eyewear’s Everglades and Snook Float sunglasses blend style and functionality for fishing and outdoors enthusiasts. Featuring floating frames crafted for durability, they withstand the challenges of fishing environments. They will not sink if accidentally dropped overboard, making them a natural choice for those seeking superior performance and comfort during their fishing adventures.

“These new Float additions are equipped with the same features as their previous non-floating versions, including premium polarized lenses with our Hydroclean 360 coating, which resists water/oils, and co-molded rubber on the nose pads and temple tips for improved grip and performance,” notes Vaughan. “Like our other floating models, they incorporate an incredibly light, thermo-plastic frame for extremely comfortable all-day wear. We recommend Snook for small- to medium-faced customers Everglades for those with medium to large facial profiles.”

The polarized nylon lenses used in the Everglades and Snook Float sunglasses also increase clarity and enhance the contrast between fish and rocks, providing the needed contrast and visibility for technical sight fishing from dawn to dusk. They also eliminate glare while providing optimal visual acuity and 100% UVA, UVB, and UVC protection. Their hydro/oleophobic lens coatings repel and shed water, sunscreen, grime & dust, keeping vision clear at all times.
