Strike King S11 Optics Caddo Matte Black Bi-Gradient Yellow \"Spotlight\" Lens

The Strike King S11 Optics Caddo in matte black with bi-gradient yellow "Spotlight" lens is a polarized fishing and water sports eyewear option built around eleven layers of advanced lens technology. If you're spending long days on the water—whether you're sight-fishing shallow flats, hunting from a boat, or just need serious glare reduction—these glasses are engineered to cut through reflection and protect your eyes from intense sunlight and water glare. The bi-gradient yellow lens is tuned to enhance visibility in bright conditions while the matte black frame keeps things understated and durable.

What sets the S11 apart is the combination of polarization, anti-reflective coating on the back of the lens to eliminate internal bounce-back, and a super hydrophobic coating that sheds water, oil, and dust. That last feature matters more than it sounds: when you're on the water or moving between sun and shade, clean optics make the difference between spotting fish and missing them. The hydrophobic treatment also helps prevent water spots that can degrade clarity during active use.

Strike King designed the lens colors with specific conditions in mind. The bi-gradient yellow "Spotlight" lens delivers the light-enhancing properties of yellow while the gradient treatment manages brightness variation across your field of view—useful when you're constantly scanning water that shifts between deep shade and bright shallows. The matte black frame finish resists glint and scratches, holding up to the salt spray, sand, and general abuse that comes with serious time outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are these glasses designed for?

The S11 Optics Caddo is built for water-based activities—fishing, boating, and any situation where sunlight and water glare are working against you. The polarized lenses and hydrophobic coating make them especially useful when you need to see below the surface or maintain visibility in changing light.

What does the bi-gradient yellow lens do?

The bi-gradient yellow lens is engineered to enhance visibility in bright conditions by managing how light enters your eye across the full lens. The gradient treatment helps balance brightness when you're looking between dark and bright areas—critical when fishing or navigating water.

How does the hydrophobic coating help?

The super hydrophobic coating causes water, oils, and dust to bead up and roll off rather than spot or smear the lens. This keeps your optics clear during active use, especially important when you're moving between wet and dry environments or dealing with spray.

Will these reduce glare on the water?

Yes. The eleven-layer polarized lens technology is specifically designed to cut water and sunlight glare. The anti-reflective coating on the back of the lens also prevents light from bouncing back into your eye, giving you a clearer image with less distortion.
