Binocular & Optical

See further. Our fishing binoculars and optical tools help you spot fish at range, read the water more accurately and make better decisions. Clear, comfortable viewing pairs with low-key Fortis styling—built for short or long sessions on the bank.

Why choose Fortis optics?

Designed for anglers first: stable, easy views for long glassing sessions and practical details that work on the move. From compact binoculars to phone polarising filters, this kit tightens your search and sharpens what you see.

What to look for in fishing binoculars

• Balanced magnification: popular all-round choices offer a steady image with useful reach for feature and fish spotting.
• Bright, clear image: quality glass and coatings improve contrast to pick out movement, fizzing and patrol routes.
• Comfort for long sessions: grippy armour, smooth focus and a comfortable eye relief reduce fatigue.
• Field durability: robust construction with weather-ready sealing for changeable conditions.
• Packability: compact footprints that ride easily in daypacks or dry bags.

Phone polarising filters

Cut surface glare on your smartphone just like your sunglasses do. Clip-on polarising phone filters help reveal detail below the surface and capture cleaner footage for notes, sharing and review.

How anglers use them

• Locating fish: scan margins, showing areas, bars and patrol lines without spooking the water.
• Reading conditions: watch wind lanes, slicks and light angles to position more effectively.
• Recording sessions: pair binocular work with phone filters for clearer photos and video.

FAQs

What magnification is best for carp fishing binoculars?
Choose an 8x balanced magnification that stays steady in the hand while offering enough reach; it’s ideal for scanning without shake.

Are they waterproof?
Look for weather-sealed models for showers and spray; store in a dry bag when not in use.

Do I still need polarised sunglasses?
Yes—sunglasses cut glare while you’re close to the water; binoculars extend your reach when you need detail at distance.
