Quick Start – Using protein bait correctly

Want to get started right away? Here are a few simple tips for using our protein baits correctly:

  1. Store the bait in the ziplock bag until ready to use – this will protect it from drying out and moisture.
  2. Make sure that the greenfins are not stored in too warm a place, as otherwise the protein material may deform.
  3. When putting it on the jig head, leave a few millimeters of space between the weight and the bait (see below for details).

How do I store my Greenfins?

To keep your bait in top condition until you use it, there are just a few simple rules:

  • Store in a ziplock bag to protect them from drying out and moisture.
  • Store in a cool place: Avoid excessively high temperatures, as otherwise the protein material may deform.

This way your Greenfins will last a long time and be ready for use at any time.

Which hooks can I use for greenfins?

To avoid damaging the bait before fishing, we recommend using hooks without a bait holder . Don't worry: Thanks to their special material, the Greenfins cling tightly to the hook and stay reliably in position – without slipping.

How do I properly put Greenfins on the jig hook?

Our lures swell slightly in the water, becoming even more flexible and more active. To ensure they stay perfectly on the jig hook while fishing, you should leave a few millimeters of space between the jig head weight and the lure when rigging. This keeps everything in the right place.

Because sustainable fishing is more than just environmentally friendly bait – 3 tips to do your part:

Collect garbage at the water

Even if you don't leave anything behind, if you find trash near the water, put it in a trash bag or your net and dispose of it. Leaving trash behind reflects negatively on all of us. Do the environment and your fellow human beings a favor and pick up any trash you find near the water.

Make sure you handle your catch well

We anglers have a great responsibility towards the creatures we hunt.
We should treat the fish with respect. To properly handle your catch, please note the following:

  1. Take the fish out of the water for as short a time as possible. The longer it takes to "care for" the fish, the higher the chance of permanent damage.
  2. Use a moist unhooking mat/scale to measure and treat your catch. Placing it on a dry surface can damage the fish's mucus layer.
  3. If possible, unhook small fish underwater. Smaller fish, in particular, often don't tolerate stress well. Protecting the young ones will benefit the big ones.

 

Use your catch wisely

For us, fishing is more than just a hobby—it's about experiencing nature, finding peace, and appreciating fresh, home-caught fish as a precious food. We only take as much as we can actually use and handle our catch with care.

Catching gates help protect juveniles and large spawning fish, thus safeguarding the diversity in our waters. Even where laws are more relaxed, we see this as an opportunity to voluntarily assume responsibility and simultaneously make fishing even more sustainable.

Observe applicable local regulations – and also focus on conscious, responsible behavior on the water that brings joy, protects our stocks, and rewards us with delicious fish from local waters.

Good luck and remember: clean fishing. Your Greenfin Team
