Giving recreational fishing gear a second life
After a yearlong search and over 120 submissions, the winners of the BoatUS Foundation Recast and Recycle Contest have been announced! Thanks to all our entrants and our panel of judges for reviewing some amazing submissions. Below are our top winners and several honorable mentions. We look forward to what’s next in recycling recreational fishing gear.
What is recreational fishing gear?
When we talk recreational fishing gear, we’re talking about fishing line and soft baits used by recreational anglers. Whether it’s monofilament line, braided line or soft baits – we want there to be a sustainable, large scale solution to keeping it out of our waters and our landfills.
