WHY WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT
THE PROBLEM WITH CONVENTIONAL LURES
LEAD WEIGHT
Lead is toxic. Exposure can harm humans and animals and may affect the nervous system and reproduction, among other things.
HOW DO CONVENTIONAL SOFT LURES STAY SOFT?
PVC PLASTICISERS SUCH AS CERTAIN PHTHALATES
Many soft lures are made from plastisol (PVC). Certain plasticisers used in it may have hormonal effects or affect reproductive and developmental processes.
PLASTICISERS ARE NOT FIRMLY BOUND
ENTER THE ECOSYSTEM
Certain plasticisers are not firmly bound to PVC. Over time, they can migrate out of the material and enter the environment.
RELEASED PLASTICISERS ARE
ABSORBED BY AQUATIC ORGANISMS
Released substances can be absorbed by aquatic organisms and spread along the food chain. It therefore makes sense to reduce avoidable inputs into waterways.
THIS CONCERNS US ALL
IMPACT ON WATERWAYS
Lost fishing lures remain in lakes and rivers. A more conscious choice of materials can help reduce avoidable inputs of lead and certain PVC plasticisers.
YOU SHARE IT TOO
RESPONSIBILITY
Our environment is finite. Every action leaves a mark, consciously or unconsciously. Choose to avoid putting unnecessary strain on nature.
HABITAT
Rivers, lakes and forests are places of recreation for us and habitats for countless animals and plants. They deserve protection and respect.
YOU HELP SHAPE IT
FUTURE
We act today. Small, conscious decisions can help preserve waterways and habitats for future generations.
YOU HAVE IT TOO
INTEGRITY
Act instead of ignoring: responsibility begins with the decisions we can make ourselves.
