Environmental responsibility

The joy of fishing. A care for our waters.

Our lakes, rivers and the St. Lawrence are part of our playground. Choosing your tackle thoughtfully is one way to keep future fishing trips in mind.

Explore our selection of BPA- and phthalate-free soft lures and tungsten options as an alternative to lead.

Understanding the selection

Two things to look for.

Our approach comes down to specific product features. Your choice depends on the lure, material and rig you are looking for.

BPA- and phthalate-free soft lures

A selection of soft lures made with BPA- and phthalate-free formulations, including models made with Ecoflex plastic. Look for the eco-conscious label and material details on the product pages.

Features vary by product and rig. A soft lure may, for example, come with a lead jig head: check the product page to see what is included.

Good habits

It matters at the water’s edge, too.

Choosing your tackle is only part of the picture. Lures, line and packaging should come home with us after every outing.

Eco-conscious does not mean impact-free. Caring for our fishing spots also comes down to what we pick up and take home.

Bring worn lures home
