“A
Line in the Sand”
By
Chris Frangiosa
There
are companies around the world these
days that have decided to be as environmentally
conscience as possible. These are
brands that TCO applaud and enjoy
doing business with. One such company
is the Brodin Landing Net company.
Brodin has been making the finest
landing nets in the world for 30 years,
which in itself is a reason to buy
one. Now however, Brodin has raised
the stakes. The people at Brodin have
decided that their wooden nets were
taking too great a toll on the forests
in Costa Rica and have vowed for 2010
to make all of their nets out of teak.
Teak is more easily grown and can
be replanted and reused in a few short
years. This puts Brodin is a special
category for me; a category that includes
Simms (Vibram Boots), Patagonia (1%
for the planet) and only a few others.
Let’s celebrate these companies
for thinking of the future and drawing
a line in the sand that says, this
is the only planet we have so let’s
protect it.
Brodin offers nets
in every imaginable size and shape.
These nets have been proven to be
durable and effective by anglers all
over the world. Brodin offers two
net bag options, one is knotless fish-safe
traditional cotton net and the second
is the heralded Ghost Net bag. The
Ghost Net bag is a transparent rubber
net that is fish safe, environmentally
safe and durable. In 2009 90% of our
Brodin nets were sold with the Ghost
bag. So choose the size and shape
you need and start fishing a Brodin
Net wherever you go, you’ll
land more fish, they will swim away
stronger and ready to fight another
day.
