I need glasses for reading only, but I had a pair made
up with plain glass and a low-cut reading bifocal on the
bottom for gray day and night fishing. I did that after the
very first time I tried to cast a 2/0 clouser.

The risk is very real......and obvious. Oddly enough, I've never known
nor
even heard of anyone taking a shot to the eye, as far as I recall.
Anybody
else?

A couple years ago I was reading a fly fishing magazine and a sunglass
company (not sure which one) had a picture of a guy that had about a #14
Adams stuck right in the middle of his eye... It was nasty lookin' to say
the least. Makes my eyes water thinking about it. Anyway, the caption at the
bottom of the add, said "Sunglasses protect your eyes from more than just
the sun"
