The Development of Bio Catch

A Material for a Thousand Uses - Without a Thousand Years of Waste:

Bio Catch is a no compromise, transformative product that marks a turning point where high-performance gear and environmental responsibility finally work hand in hand.

From both a materials science and aquatic biology standpoint, the Bio Catch Saltwater Strip is nothing short of a revolution.

It utilizes a first of its kind matrix material that balances three critical requirements at once: 

A.) Safe if Ingested by Fish or Aquatic Wildlife

B.) Controlled Biodegradation (under 30 days)

C.) World Class Fishing Lure Performance

Bio Catch removes the trade-off between fishability and environmental safety by providing materials that perform like plastic but degrades and depolymerizes cleanly. Its easy for anglers to adopt because it fits into all existing fishing styles and tackle systems without forcing a compromise in performance. 

This achievement was the product of a monumental undertaking which explains why this breakthrough is such a game changing success. The new Bio Catch matrix represents a disruptive breakthrough in sportfishing as it heralds the introduction of environmentally responsible fishing tackle technologies, as opposed to a minor incremental change.

The Bio Catch Saltwater Strip not only performs like a world class soft bait, but it also acts as a perfect “dispenser” for the most advanced species focused chemo-attractant feed promoters ever introduced to the sportfishing industry. 

The team at Bio Catch understood that if its matrix is too porous, our chemo-attractants would be released too quickly and wash away before fish have a chance to respond. If the release rate is too slow, the concentration of chemo-attractants might never reach the sensory “bullseye” of fish to effectively trigger feeding behavior. Infusion methods that increase surface exposure or reduce chemo-attractant binding predictably give a faster “burst” of chemo-attractants, while infusion methods that deeply embed chemo-attractants within the matrix subsurface might slow the release rate, making the bait less attractive on a chemosensory level. In fishing terms, matrix infusion methods for Bio Catch affect chemo-attractant release by changing how fast water can reach within the matrix, and how quickly the chemo-attractants diffuse out.
