THE PROBLEM WITH CONVENTIONAL LURES
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Conventional fishing lures may contain lead or be made with PVC plasticisers such as certain phthalates. If such lures are lost, their components can enter waterways and the environment over time.
Impact on people
HARMFUL TO HEALTH
Lead is toxic and, if absorbed, can damage nerves, blood and organs. Certain plasticisers are also suspected of affecting hormonal, reproductive and developmental processes.
LEAD REPLACED WITH
TIN
We use tin instead of lead for the integrated weights in our lures. This means our models with integrated weights require no lead-based ballast.
THE SURFACE AS AN ADDED BENEFIT
BRIGHT AND SHINY
Tin has a bright, shiny surface. Inside the lure, it can create additional light reflections.
GOOD TO KNOW
TIN – STABLE AND VERSATILE
Tin is a readily formable metal with high corrosion resistance. These properties make it suitable for compact, fully integrated lure weights.
THE DIFFERENCE WITH
SILICONE
Silicone is soft and elastic. PVC plasticisers are not required to achieve the desired flexibility.
NO SUBSTANCES CLASSIFIED AS HAZARDOUS UNDER
EC Directive 67/548/EEC
According to EC Directive 67/548/EEC, the silicone we use contains no substances classified as hazardous. This combines the desired lure action with a more conscious choice of material.
NOT ONLY MORE SUSTAINABLE, BUT ALSO
DURABLE
Silicone is durable, flexible and resilient, helping the lures retain their shape and resist tearing.
