SQUIDGY TIPS:
How to rig a squidgie

ENVIRONMENTAL MESSAGE
Increasingly, anglers and others are asking questions about the environmental impact of discarded or lost fishing tackle; including soft plastic lures, jig heads, hooks and related accessories. We at Squidgy take these issues very seriously indeed, and we are constantly searching for ways to minimise the potential environmental impacts caused by our products. Right now, we're actively involved in researching effective biodegradable materials and developing other strategies designed to make our sport more sustainable in the future. In the final analysis, however, responsibility inevitably comes down to the individual angler; in other words, to you and me.

Discarded soft plastic tails, pieces of tail, hooks and jig heads are a form of pollution just as detrimental to the angling environment as discarded fishing line, leader material, plastic bags, lure wrappers and lead sinkers. Please make the effort to bring all of your rubbish home with you, wrap it up and dispose of it in your household garbage, or place it in the bins provided at boat ramps, camping grounds and public reserves. While you're at it, please also take the time to pick up the litter discarded by other, less thoughtful anglers and bring that home, too. Remember, we are all in this together, and the future of our sport depends heavily on the image and identity we project to non-anglers and the media.
