2. Gibbs Delta Tackle
Gibbs Delta Tackle is a BC company that has been around for over a hundred years, so it’s fair to say they know West Coast fishing.

You can find these products in many outdoor retailers. http://www.gibbsdelta.com/
3. Smith Optics
When it comes to a quality pair of sunglasses, it can be hard to find a pair that provides great looks, quality polarization, durable lens, and a great warranty. Smith Optics has all those areas covered with their line of sunglasses. Also, when you purchase a pair of Smith Optics you get a micro fiber bag and a great hard case. Some brand name sunglasses don’t include a hard case. The hard case will save you from crushing a quality pair of sunglasses. Trust me I know. www.smithoptics.ca
