Gyroscopic Binoculars: Do You Want Them, Do You Need Them?

[BD STAFF]

Stabilized binoculars can give you an edge over the competition. Whether you’re searching for diving birds, chipping fish, or full-on foam, one thing is for sure: a good pair of binoculars will help you see for miles beyond what the naked eye can pick up. But all binoculars are not created equal. And while what constitutes “good” binoculars may be in the eye of the beholder, anyone who’s used a pair of gyroscopic stabilized binoculars knows that on some days these things will lead you to more fish than your sonar.

Many days on the water rely on finding fish with your eyes, not your sonar.
Are you ready to find the school that can save your day?

As someone who has depended on them to find fish.....
I would buy a pair before I bought my first hook if fishing offshore.

It’s only money! Pay once, cry once!

Only time I could think of crying... is when not having them.
If you have sat in a tower with them...the ocean becomes a whole different place.
Spent 40 years fishin at water level. When I got up in the bucket on the Chula lookin for swordfish...it was like a blind man seeing for the first time.

Not just swordfish. Tuna, Marlin, Mahi, Paddies, Current Breaks, Color Breaks,...on and on,

My eyes were literally opened when using gyro binos.

they arent waterproof, I may go with the 10x42L model but they run a bit over 1k. Ill be using the shit out of mine so i dont want to skimp yet dont have an unlimited budget, the review says they are much heavier but the pros outweigh the cons, and they should do what I need them for. ill keep you posted
