Leading tackle company’s conservation commitment advances towards carbon neutrality, zero waste and healthy fishing
Beyond the obsession with fighting big fish, there is one thing anglers almost universally agree on: clean, healthy waterways and thriving fish habitat lie at the heart of everything we hold sacred. .
Count the folks at Z-Man Fishing among America’s 60 million anglers, everyday folks you might meet at the tackle shop or along the coast. At some point each day, we will stop casting, inspect our surroundings, and simply marvel at the beauty both above and below the surface; we will pause to reflect on what this impressive place will look like in 5, 10 or 100 years. It’s times like these that fishermen harness their power to write the future, the same reason Z-Man has been working for years in creative and quiet ways to help keep fisheries healthy and vibrant behind the scenes.
It started early in the company’s 30-year history. From the beginning, Z-Man understood the value of supporting causes that ensure the long-term sustainability of fisheries and aquatic environments. These motivations are evident in Z-Man’s own product line, as its 10X Tough ElaZtech® soft plastic material exhibits Advantages that reduce your environmental impact relative to other soft baits.
ElaZtech’s increased durability not only reduces the amount of soft plastic baits used by anglers, ingested by fish, or discarded in the water, but Z-Man’s specialized material is also 100 percent non-toxic and free of Harmful chemicals like phthalates. Plus, ElaZtech floats and is FDA Food Grade compliant, unlike traditional plastisol baits, which sink to the bottom and can be ingested by fish and other wildlife, sometimes causing digestive issues, among other issues. Conversely, any inadvertently discarded ElaZtech bait will float and can be easily picked up from the surface of the water for proper disposal.
ElaZtech baits are 100 percent non-toxic and naturally buoyant, allowing for easy retrieval and disposal.
Sustaining the Aquatic Ecosystem
Part of Z-Man’s mission has always been to promote causes that preserve healthy ecosystems and improve fishing opportunities. Today, Z-Man’s support of such initiatives ranges from backing action-oriented groups like Captains for Clean Water and Release Over 20 to empowering future fisheries management through postgraduate research fellowships endowed by Z-Man at the University of Florida Nature Coast Biological Station in Cedar Key. .
In seeking opportunities to conserve precious fisheries while minimizing their impact on nature, Z-Man’s management identified essential actions to significantly reduce its carbon footprint. “Two aspects of our manufacturing process that we have always felt could be improved include minimizing the energy we draw from the electrical grid and finding a way to recycle manufacturing waste from our ElaZtech production line,” comments the president of Z- Man, Daniel Nussbaum, a long-time conservationist and forward-thinking seafood executive. “Most companies can buy enough carbon offsets to claim they are carbon neutral, but our goal was to find ways to really reduce the impact of our production-related activities.” As a result of his initiatives, Z-Man recently achieved exciting benchmarks in an ongoing quest to give back to aquatic environments.
Solar Bait Making
Last year, phase one of the Z-Man sustainability program included the installation of a vast array of solar panels with the goal of self-generating a perpetual power supply. By nature, solar energy is a low emission energy source; The solar panels themselves produce zero pollution. Conventional energy sources, by contrast, typically involve burning fossil fuels, which emit up to 37 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide into the global atmosphere annually.1
Nussbaum summarizes the first results: “After just one year of solar power generation, we are almost one hundred percent self-sufficient,” he says. “In fact, instead of paying big energy bills during the summer, we are actually selling electricity to the power company. It’s quite an exciting development that exceeded our initial hopes and started us on the path to minimizing our carbon footprint.”
Recycling of ElaZtech soft baits
Specifically for the on-site manufacturing of its environmentally benign ElaZtech soft baits, Z-Man recently achieved a second sustainability milestone. For the past several years, Z-Man staff have been looking for ways to prevent their manufacturing waste from reaching landfills. Despite the challenges in recycling this unique material, largely due to the pigments, glitter, and salt used in the production of fishing lures, Z-Man eventually came up with a successful plan.
“Although elaztech it’s completely non-toxic, we still felt it was critical to keep our leftover manufacturing material out of landfills,” says Nussbaum, who helped formulate a two-part solution. “First, we worked hard to come up with a way to efficiently reprocess about 60 percent of our scrap ElaZtech material to make new baits. We also reuse leftover material to rinse and clean our machines.
“Second, and perhaps the most exciting aspect of our plan, is working with a third-party manufacturing scrap reprocessor that can reuse the material,” continues Nussbaum. “After years of searching, we finally found a company that can use our ElaZtech waste as an ingredient in new shoe soles. In addition to the environmental benefits of keeping these materials out of landfills, recycling has generated significant cost savings compared to traditional waste disposal methods.”
At least part of the appeal of fishing is that positive and uplifting outcomes can be created by all involved while on the water, from catch and release to litter pickup along the shoreline and proper fishing line disposal. and used lures. Easy solutions are already at your fingertips, individually or across the organization. Every effort helps, always with the promise of sustaining natural places where water flows and wild fish inhabit.

The following are excerpts from the Gray’s Sporting Journal 2023 Expeditions and Annual Guides:
“The shotgun world has split in several directions since federal legislation in the 1980s mandated lead-free shot for migratory birds. Companies have sprung up specifically to produce “non-toxic” projectiles, using various shot metals, from steel (iron) to bismuth and tungsten… Tungsten is heavier than lead… but harder than steel, making it which makes it necessary to load it. different and pay close attention to the shotgun you use. Apex is a company in Mississippi that looked at these problems and decided the answer was a line of hand-built loads in different calibers, specifically for hunting waterfowl and turkey… By loading each round essentially by hand, Apex produces products premium. more results.”

BELLEVUE, WA – What appears to have been a brazen effort by the State of Illinois to go “judge buy-off” to transfer various federal lawsuits challenging new state law banning so-called “assault weapons” and their magazines has failed. , the Second Amendment Foundation said today.
“Our lawsuit and others have actually been transferred to a very impartial judge,” said SAF Founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “We anticipated that the cases would eventually be consolidated, but instead of ending up with a judge that the state expected would be unfavorable to Second Amendment issues, I believe we now have an impartial judge.”
All cases have been assigned to the Federal District Court for the Southern District of Illinois. The SAF case, brought before the Illinois State Rifle Association and Firearms Policy Coalition, is known as Harrell vs. Raoul.
“This effort is likely to come back to haunt Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Attorney General Kwame Raoul,” Gottlieb said. “The governor made a show of signing an extremist gun ban law, and we immediately challenged it in federal court. The attorney general finds himself in the uncomfortable position of having to uphold the law, and he is also a defendant in the case. His judge selection efforts have failed.”
Gottlieb said last summer’s Supreme Court ruling in Bruen is making it harder for gun prohibitionists to justify laws that have been penalizing honest citizens for decades, and new gun control schemes designed to further reduce Second Amendment rights.
“Illinois has to find a way to justify the Pritzker gun ban, and the state can’t do that because it’s not consistent with historical tradition going back to when the Constitution was ratified,” Gottlieb said. “Pritzker and others like him believe that the Second Amendment is a privilege, not a right. In reality, they think the Second Amendment is a loophole, and they’re determined to seal it because citizen disarmament is really what this is all about.
“We are confident that the court will instead shut them down,” he concluded.
The Second Amendment Foundation (www.saf.org) is the nation’s oldest and largest tax-exempt legal action, research, publishing, and education group focusing on the constitutional right and inheritance to own and own guns. fire privately. Founded in 1974, the Foundation has grown to more than 720,000 members and supporters and runs many programs designed to better inform the public about the consequences of gun control.
The conservationist is on a mission to ensure that the state’s natural resources thrive for future generations
Country music star Chris Janson is on a mission to help keep Tennessee beautiful for generations to come. In addition to earning a reputation as one of the most energetic live performers in country music, Janson is also known for using that same energy offstage to further conservation efforts. His latest effort is a partnership with the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) litter prevention campaign, Nobody Trash Tennessee.
Janson fell in love with the Tennessee outdoors after moving to Nashville in 2004 and spends a lot of time exploring the state’s waterways and forests with her family.
“Since moving to Tennessee, I have been in awe of its natural beauty and all the outdoor activities it offers to hunters, fishermen and everyone who loves the outdoors,” Janson said. “In addition to giving back through conservation-related partnerships in Tennessee, one of my biggest conservation goals is to get kids out of their homes, off their devices, and into the great outdoors. Litter on our roads, waterways and forests affects your ability to enjoy nature. It affects everyone in Tennessee and endangers wildlife. I want to do my part to ensure our state’s natural resources thrive for future generations, and I’m excited to partner with Nobody Trashes Tennessee and work together toward a trash-free state.”
As part of the partnership, Janson will help educate Tennesseans about the health and safety impacts of litter on our highways and waterways through public service announcements, outdoor advertising, and social media channels. “Avoiding litter is critical to maintaining Tennessee’s scenic beauty, keeping highways and waterways safe and clean, and maintaining vibrant communities,” said Denise Baker, TDOT’s Office of Highway Beautification. “Chris’s passion for our state and his commitment to conservation make him a great ambassador for Nadie Trashes Tennessee as we continue to educate citizens about the myriad impacts of trash.”
All Tennesseans are encouraged to take personal responsibility for the litter in their communities. This can be through the simple act of picking up litter when you see it, carrying a garbage bag when you hike, hike, hunt or fish, and learning what constitutes litter and taking steps to prevent unintentional litter by ensuring garbage in collectors and knowing that food waste such as apple cores are harmful to wildlife. Citizens can also participate in local cleanups or the free Adopt-A-Highway program. Litter incidents can be reported through the Tennessee Litter Hotline (1-877-8LITTER).

Beyond his artistry are his live shows, where all that heart-on-four-wheel songwriting meets the fans where they come to rock. Rolling Stone hailed him “a living legacy in the making,” and Janson is a frequent presence at the country’s biggest festivals, tours and sit-ins. He was recently awarded the Bass Pro Shops “Fisherman’s Best Friend Award” and continues to make an impact as a Bass Pro Shops/Cabelas brand ambassador with his signature Bass Pro Hat sold exclusively at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s.
