Tru-Turn Blood Red Hooks

These specially designed cam-action hooks help ensure better hookups with fish. Due to the special bend in the shank, the hooks will turn towards pressure--so when you feel a tug and set the hook, these are headed home for a good mouth hookup. This is great for the fish you plan on releases because it minimizes deep hooking and helps you both fight and release them faster. Plus, the blood-red color hints at gill flashes and bleeding bait, signals predators key in on. Pick these up today (one pack each of 1/0, 2/0, 3/0 and 4/0 hooks) for only $5.00!

This lure kit makes for a great fishing gift for both saltwater and freshwater fishermen. At Green Tackle we encourage new anglers and kids learning to fish to use lures over live bait.

<![CDATA[Recycled Waders]]> http://www.greentackle.com/blog/recycled-waders/ Green Tackle is pleased to be announce that we are now selling products from Recycled Waders.

Recycled WadersRecycled Waders utilizes reclaimed breathable wader material to manufacture products such as wallets, fanny packs, sling packs, messenger bags, can koozies and fly reel cases. This material comes from individuals, fishing guides, fishing lodges, wader manufacturers and local fishing clubs. Recycled Waders breathable products are deconstructed, cleaned, cut and sewn locally in Seattle, WA.

Recycled Waders Background

Recycled Waders was founded on the principle of reusability, turning waste into functional products. Recycled Waders uses reclaimed breathable wader material to make repurposed products.

Recycled Waders products are made with utility in mind – simple, lightweight, durable, water resistant, and ready to use. The original Recycled Waders product was designed to chase king salmon (namesake to the 'Nook Sack) and weigh less than a fully loaded fishing vest. The Minimalist attitude at Recycled Waders keeps all the "extras" and gadgets out of our packs. You won’t find tons of extra padding, added clasps, snaps or buckles, no extra elastic or fancy fold out fly trays, just simple, straight forward lines. The 'Nook Sack, and other Recycled Waders products, are designed to be simple yet functional on and off the water products.

The Process

  1. Once waders are received they are deconstructed by removing shoulder straps, waist belts, neoprene feet, manufacturer logos and any other straps, buckles or pockets that might get in the way of the cleaning, cutting & repurposing process. As much as possible the components from each pair of waders are reclaimed with intent to be reused in our products.
  2. Next the material is washed at a local cleaner. Those of you who have spent all day in your waders know what goes on in there – they need to be laundered before anyone else sees any part of them!
  3. When clean, the waders are stacked in like sizes, shapes, and colors and prepared for cutting and sewing.

The Products

Each product is as unique as each pair of waders. Whether it be aqua seal splotches, patches, stains, sun bleached sections, self imposed monograms, nicknames or color patterns, each pair of waders brings their own character to the shop and we try to capture this with our products.

The current product line includes the Messenger Creel, the ‘Nook Sack, the Greenback Wallet, the Big Fanny Pack, The Sling pack, the recycled neoprene Fly Reel Case, and the Recycled Koozie. Further product development will continue as leaky waders continue to inspire creativity.
