Protect Your Eyes!

John Rhoades sent these photos to stress the importance of fishing Glasses. You have only two eyes and you need both of them. I personally would not pick up a rod without having them on. I have had split shot knock a lense out of the frame twice, on brake offs, while fishing salmon not to mention taking a few in the chest too.
