The Costa Del Mar Fantail Pro 9079 sunglasses represent a serious upgrade to one of fishing’s most trusted frames. Built for anglers who spend long days on the water, the Fantail Pro packs Costa’s full PRO Series technology into a rectangular frame that fits regular to average-sized faces. These aren’t just sunglasses—they’re precision fishing tools designed to help you see more fish and stay comfortable from dawn to dusk.
The Fantail Pro is the slimmed-down brother of the Blackfin Pro, and it brings every bit of Costa’s advanced PRO Series engineering. The vented, fully-adjustable nose pads let you dial in a custom fit while improving airflow to reduce fogging—a feature rarely seen on full-rim nylon frames. Sweat channels and eyewire drains run the length of the temples to keep perspiration out of your eyes and off your lenses. Extended side shields and hooding cut down excess light from every angle, reducing eye strain during those marathon sessions. The improved Hydrolite rubber gets tackier when wet, so the frames stay put even when you’re sweating. Metal keeper slots let you clip in a retainer to protect your investment.
The Fantail Pro comes exclusively with Costa’s 580G polarized glass lenses, and the difference is real. Costa’s 580 technology blocks yellow light at 580 nanometers while filtering harmful blue light, enhancing reds, greens, and blues for sharper contrast and better definition. The result? You’ll spot structure, baitfish, and cruising fish you’d miss with lesser lenses. The 580G glass is 20% thinner and 22% lighter than typical polarized glass, and the scratch resistance is outstanding—anglers report wiping salt spray off dry without damage. The C-Wall coating adds an extra barrier that repels water, oil, and sweat. All lenses provide 100% UV protection and 100% polarization. Available tints include Green Mirror (copper base, 10% light transmission, excellent for sight fishing), Blue Mirror (gray base, 10% transmission, ideal for open water and bright sun), Copper Silver Mirror (12% transmission, versatile for varied conditions), Gray (10% transmission for harsh sun), and Sunrise Silver Mirror (27% transmission for low light and dawn/dusk).
The Fantail Pro measures 60mm lens width, 41.8mm lens height, 133mm frame width, 15mm bridge, and 120mm temples—a large fit that works for average-sized heads. The bio-resin frame is lightweight and durable, part of Costa’s Kick Plastic sustainability initiative using castor oil-based materials. The rectangular shape with 8-base wrap provides maximum coverage without feeling bulky. These sunglasses are prescription-ready, so you can add your Rx and skip the contacts. Whether you’re sight-fishing the flats, running offshore, or working a river all day, the Fantail Pro delivers the performance serious anglers demand.
