Safe Angling Kits
for people who are crazy about fishing!
for people who are crazy about fishing!
SAFE Angling Kits are ready to fish kits loaded with all the tackle you need
to start fishing. Every kit is packed with lead-free weights, biodegradable
molded lures, circle and cam action hooks. Plus, you’ll find an illustrated
knot tying guide, fishing and stewardship tips, and instructions - with
photos - on how to use everything in your kit.
We’re proud of the contents of the SAFE Angling Kit because not only is
this tackle non-toxic, biodegradable, and more conducive to catch and
release fishing, it’s all quality equipment made by reputable
manufacturers. Part of fishing is that you’ll lose some tackle, so when it
comes time to re-stock your arsenal, look for products from these SAFE
Angling partners.
Here’s what’s in your kit:
Tru-Turn J-Hooks (Gold Aberdeen and Bleeding Bait Red, 3 sizes)
These “cam-action” hooks do a great job of hooking fish on the outside of
the mouth. Different sizes target different species and let you pick the right
size hook for your bait. The long shank makes it easier to remove the
hook, too. Load it up with a night crawler, FoodSource Lures, hook a
minnow through the back and hang it under a bobber, or try a cricket,
grasshopper or piece of cut fish for bait.
We recommend using a pair of needle-nose pliers or hemostats to pinch
down the barbs on these hooks. You’ll still catch fish just fine, but it will
make it easier to take them off the hook. It also makes them safer if
someone unintentionally gets hooked, or the hook finds clothes, carpet or
a tackle bag.
Daiichi Circle Hooks (2 sizes)
Circle hooks are a great choice for fishing with live or dead bait for larger
fish like bass, catfish, walleye, pike or saltwater species. You don’t set
the hook - the unique shape of these hooks automatically catches in the
corner of the fish’s mouth almost every time to make for easier release,
and eliminating deep “gut hooking” of the fish. A card inside the kit
explains how and when to use them, and details on rigging live bait.
Water Gremlin and Bullet Weights Tin Split Shot (4 sizes)
Above your hook, you need a weight. Water Gremlin and Bullet Weights
make tin split shot that you can pinch onto your line. The “wings” on each
weight allow you to remove and reuse them over and over. Tin is an
inexpensive alternative to lead, which is toxic. Waterfowl mistakenly eat
lead weights and die.
Dr. Drop weights (3 sizes)
Dr. Drop weights are also lead alternatives which use heavier non-toxic
metals. You ‘weave’ these onto your line, which eliminates pinching or
crimping the line, which could weaken it. Their shape helps them slide
past snags underwater.
Bullet Weights worm weights (2 sizes)
Bullet Weights worm weights slide on your line, so put those on before
you tie on your hook. Fish won’t feel the weight when they pick up the bait,
and the bullet shape slides through snags. You can put it above a split
shot to add more weight and keep it away from the bait, or let it slide right
down to your hook.
Northland Nature Jigs (3 sizes)
Northland Fishing Tackle makes many fishing lures. In this kit you’ll find
lead alternative jig heads. Put a minnow, leech, worm or artificial lure on
the jig head, then cast and reel it back in. If you’re fishing for bullheads, a
jig head does a great job of helping prevent them from swallowing the
hook - something bullheads are notorious for doing. Just put a half worm
on the jig head, cast it out and let it sit. There are countless molded baits
designed to be placed onto a jig head as well.
FoodSource Lures earthworms or mealworms
FoodSource Lures make biodegradable molded baits to use instead of
traditional soft plastic lures. The old ‘rubber worm’ is actually soft plastic,
and it never breaks down - they stay in our water forever. Fish mistake soft
plastics for food, eat it, and it can ultimately kill them. FoodSource lures
are molded protein, so not only do they catch more fish than plastic lures,
they are biodegradable and digestible if a fish eats them. Plus, they are
easier to keep than live bait.
Thill Wooden float
Your Thill wooden bobber helps you detect strikes, and it is a
biodegradable alternative to plastic bobbers, which stick around forever. If
you’ve spent any time at a lake, you’ve seen plastic and foam bobbers
hanging from trees or floating around the shoreline. Thill floats will last a
lifetime, but eventually break down which is better for the environment.
Plus, because they float upright, it’s much easier to detect the bite of fish
who take the bait from the bottom. Round floats only show if a fish pulls
the bait under, but often fish hit from below. Your Thill float will lay on its
side, letting you know that a fish has hit from below.
Finally, your Flambeau tackle box helps keep everything organized. The kit
has been hand packed by team members at Recycled Fish, but we
include the extra dividers so you can change the layout of your tackle box
at any time.
We suggest trying night crawlers (worms) as bait for your first outing. You
can collect your own or buy them at any bait shop. Nearly every fish will
eat a worm - few baits will provide more consistent fishing to get you
started. If you decide to try other live bait options like minnows, make sure
you never dump your unused minnows into the lake. That’s how invasive
species and diseases are spread. We recommend a metal or plastic bait
bucket rather than the styrofoam minnow buckets, styrofoam is
particularly hard on the environment.
