Quick Start – Using Protein Baits 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. When threading the weight onto the jig head, leave a few millimeters of space between the weight and the lure (details below).

How do I store my greenfins?

To ensure your lures remain in top condition until use, there are only a few simple rules:

  • Store in a Ziploc bag: This protects them from drying out and moisture.

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 suction firmly onto the hook and stay reliably in position – without slipping.

How do I properly thread greenfins onto the jig hook?

Our lures swell slightly in the water, becoming even more flexible and enhancing their action. To ensure they stay perfectly on the jig hook while fishing, leave a few millimeters of space between the jig head weight and the lure when rigging. This will keep everything in the correct position.

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

Collect trash at the water's edge.

Even if you don't leave anything behind: If you find trash by the water, put it in a trash bag or your net and dispose of it properly. Litter left behind reflects badly on all of us. Do the environment and your fellow human beings a favor and pick up any trash you find by the water.

Take care to handle your catch properly.

We anglers bear a great responsibility towards the creatures we hunt.
We should treat fish with respect. For proper handling of your catch, please observe 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 that it will suffer permanent damage.
  2. Use a damp unhooking mat/scale to measure and handle your catch. Placing it on a dry surface can damage the fish's slime coat.
  3. If possible, release small fish underwater. Smaller fish often don't tolerate stress well. Protect the young ones, and you'll benefit from the larger ones.

 

Use your catch wisely

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

Catch limits help protect juvenile fish and large spawning fish, thus ensuring biodiversity in our waters. Even where the laws are less stringent, we see this as an opportunity to voluntarily take responsibility and simultaneously make fishing even more sustainable.

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