The BioLine is just like traditional fishing line in durability and casting distance complete with a biodegradable spool. But, the BioLine adds environmentally safe features that can reduce the environmental impact on fish.The BioLine is easily untangled by wildlife, does not harm coral reefs or animals when ingested, according to the company.

The BioLine polymer biodegrades after a mere five years when left in the wilderness, as opposed to traditional, nylon lines, which take 500 years to decompose. What’s left after five years is carbon dioxide and water.

With biodegradable line and spool, fresh bate that is naturally biodegradable (sorry worms) boats that run on solar power or biofuel, the only fishing gear that's left to green is the hook. Wonder if that can be made from recycled aluminum? When the green movement has reached decreasing the environmental impacts of pastimes and hobbies, it is then that being green has moved from a trend to a lifestyle.
