Problem
Traditional softbaits used in fishing are often made from plastics that persist in aquatic environments for extended periods, contributing to pollution and harming wildlife if lost or discarded. This poses a significant environmental challenge for anglers and conservation efforts.
Solution
Captn Greenfin produces 100% biodegradable softbaits crafted from natural proteins and infused with attractants. These baits are designed to decompose within approximately three weeks if lost in the water, significantly reducing plastic pollution. The protein-based composition is harmless to fish and the environment, as confirmed by OECD 249 norm testing. The attractants are directly integrated into the protein material to provide effective performance while minimizing environmental impact.
