Satisfying features of the eco-friendly fishing line include high UV and abrasion resistance, effective knot strength, and premium casting distance.
Why eco-friendly? The biodegradable fishing line breaks down naturally in the environment in about five years when compared to up to 500 years with monofilament line.

For example, Klamath makes aluminum fishing boats, which are light, durable, and considered eco-friendly.
Why? Marine-grade aluminum is practically resistant to the harsh conditions of repeated water contact.
This means you forego the harmful chemicals used in the maintenance and upkeep of fishing boats, such as making repairs and polishing the body.
The lightweight nature of the material also means that smaller engines are used, which translates into a decrease in air and water pollution.
Aluminum is also recyclable, meaning after you have outgrown your fishing boat - it can be repurposed without collecting dust in a landfill.
However, the new OrganiK yacht design blends eco-friendliness with luxury.
Think energy-saving and water-saving features.
