Is it definitely thicker than the gardner? The gardner states 0.35 and the sbx 0.34 ?

Not bothered about distance, just want it to hit the deck without having to dip the tips and speed it up which i hate doing. I always cast out wet anyway.
I fish a really weedy lake with walls of it from top to bottem full of little sharp snails and gravel bars everywhere so definitely need braid . With mono I had to keep getting the boat out but with braid the fish eventually come in . Just need this sbx I reckon as it supposedly sinks fast.

Hello
Can anyone give me an honest review on this stuff please
I've had the gardner black noir on for a while now and it's not too bad but I'm convinced it doesn't completely sink to the bottom all the way out , watched it in the margins takes ages to hit the deck and that's pre soaked. I really don't want to go back to the xline if I can help it, too much maintenance for my liking.
Does it sink well?
Cheers 🍻

My deep blue prizm polarized lenses turned up and as expected from oakley they are the nuts.
They lens itself isn't that dark to look at its quite light with a rose tint, I've been down the lake with them and they are perfect much better than my ice iridium lens which had a grey base so these ones with a rose base makes it lighter.
I can see 4 to 6 feet down no problem in the margins in clear water. When it's cloudy they still work . Well happy both go Sure about the shallow water ones as they have a grey base and have a green lens, the reviews I've read say they are more for bass and trout fishing so I could imagine they won't go as deep.

That's the green lens,was looking at the deep blue but the reviews are saying they are more for deep sea fishing ?
Did you but the wrap rounds?
All I need to do is buy the lens because I already have flak jacket frames.
I believe these must be better than normal £20 ones
