Here is what can happen if you get hit in the eye. Glad I had them on is all I can say

speckdaddy 10-25-2009 04:26 PM
buddy, ive had several, i mean several close calls where my glasses saved my eyes. i saw when w struck josh in the face. i thought that ol boy was in trouble,. please guys, where ya glasses

Deadly D 10-25-2009 04:30 PM
There is no doubt I would have lost a eye on this one. Still hurt like hell even with the glasses

rosska 10-25-2009 05:02 PM
I have always wondered how Costas would hold up to an impact. I have been wearing the Harpoon 580's for about 5 years in refineries and chemical plants as safety glasses. I have only had one operator make the comment "I didnt know Costa made safety glasses". Told him they were a new series and eased on out of that control room. Good to know they will take a blow.

fishinpox 10-25-2009 05:19 PM

All I can say is that it took a direct hit from about 10 feet with a 1/4 oz lead head and didnt blow up

It costs $100, I had to send my Man O' Wars back for the same thing in February and that's what they charged me.

I second that notion. The only time I ever got it was when my Dad had a Lucky 13 hung up in a bush on the bank and when he yanked it out, it was like a missile and hit me right in the temple. Put a knot, but thankfully no hooks. Them old wooden baits were HEAVY.

im looking at a pair of stringers with 400 green mirror, but i saw stringers with 580 greens for 149 which is usually 239...sounds a like a scam

You need to fish more with Jordan:*****:

Ray 10-26-2009 09:41 PM
He needs some knee pads to fish with me.
We was headin' in to Calcasieu Point and he was on the phone with someone, not paying attention. We hit 3 big azzd rolling wakes from a crew boat heading south. He fell on his knees, then on his badonkadonk then he laid down on his back.
I don't know how he missed the two topwater lures he had tied on to his rods. He was lucky.
He got up and had a big swollen knee.
All this action and his phone never left his ear. He was on a phone talkin' mission.

It was an interesting day. You fellers just know a small tidbit of info. about yesterday's trip.
We laughed all frikkin day long.

It was a terrible fishing day, but a fun day overall.

CatDaddy 10-26-2009 10:01 PM

He didn't fly around. He just plopped.
When we went over the wave, it looked like he was gonna fall out the boat.
I didn't want to slow down cause he was already air born, but I didn't want him to fall out either. So I slowed down and he looked like a big sack of taters someone chunked off a train car at 60 mph.
Down on his knees between the console and the gunnel(with trebble hooks on his rods), then twisted around and on his badonkadonk, then on his back, wit the phone on his ear the whole time. Now that is talent.

It was just one of them thangs that made you laugh so hard, but still at the same time wonder if'n he was O.K. I really thought he was the biggest thing a Bomber lure ever caught.
I was also hanging on, there were 2 more of them big azzd waves right behind the first one. But he was safe down on the front floor where he was laying.

bay_slayer 10-26-2009 10:11 PM
I would've paid money to see that
