The Costa Del Mar Blackfin Pro 9078 sunglasses represent a significant upgrade to one of the most trusted frames in fishing eyewear. Built on the foundation of the original Blackfin—a favorite among anglers for over a decade—the Pro version adds six performance-driven enhancements designed to keep you on the water longer and fishing more effectively.
Every Blackfin Pro comes exclusively with Costa’s 580G polarized glass lenses, the gold standard for optical clarity on the water. The 580 technology works by blocking yellow light at 580 nanometers while enhancing reds, blues, and greens, delivering sharper contrast and better color definition in any environment. These glass lenses are 20% thinner and 22% lighter than average polarized glass, yet they offer superior scratch resistance thanks to the C-Wall coating that repels water, oil, and sweat. All lenses provide 100% UV protection and 100% polarization to eliminate reflective glare—essential for sight fishing and spotting structure beneath the surface.
Available in multiple lens colors including Blue Mirror (ideal for bright, full-sun conditions), Green Mirror (high contrast for sight fishing), Gray (true color perception), and Copper Silver Mirror, you can match your lenses to your fishing conditions. The encapsulated mirror design places the reflective layer between glass layers for crystal-clear, scratch-resistant performance.
The Blackfin Pro’s six angler-approved upgrades set it apart from the standard model. Fully adjustable, vented nose pads let you customize the fit while reducing fogging—a game-changer during long days in variable conditions. Integrated sweat channels and eyewire drains direct moisture away from the lenses to maintain clear vision. The wide temples feature side shields and hooding that block stray light from every angle; as any experienced angler knows, side light makes it harder to see into the water through polarized lenses, so maximum coverage matters.
The improved Hydrolite temple pads use a new formula that gets tackier as it becomes wet, ensuring your sunglasses stay put even when conditions get rough. Pre-molded metal keeper slots at the temple ends make it easy to attach a retainer without the struggle of fitting sleeves over the arms. These frames are built from Costa’s bio-resin material (derived from castor oil) as part of their Kick Plastic initiative, offering lightweight durability with an environmental conscience.
The Blackfin Pro features a large fit with a 60mm lens width, 41.8mm lens height, 16mm bridge, and 121mm temple length—designed for average to wider faces. The pillow-shaped, full-rim frame provides maximum coverage without feeling bulky. These sunglasses are prescription-ready, so you can add single vision, bifocal, or progressive lenses to enjoy Costa’s legendary clarity with your exact vision correction.
