There seem to be 2 kinds of these - those that clip on the bill of a

experiences with either type? Will the direct clip-on ones attach
over the polarizing lenses that I always have attached? Thanks.


I use two different types. Lately I've been using the ones that clip on
the baseball cap (and I use these for both tying and streamside.) I
don't like the models that clip on my glasses because I usually have my
sunglasses already clipped on my specs.

For tying itsy-bitsy flies, I've got a high-powered hood type magnifier.


For fishing I can vouch for the ones that clip onto the hat bill.
Bought one of those at the Slide Inn a couple of years ago and
wouldn't be without it.
