The Rayrick brand of fishing line, nets and baskets, has an innovative, patent pending design, which unlike its competitors is nylon free. We have achieved our goals of creating highly effective products and decreasing the environmental harm which the typical fishing products cause. At least ninety percent of our lines and nets are a bio-based polymer. Our use of a polymer “based on modified plant materials” results in “decreasing reliance on non-renewable fossil resources, in this way, the products strike a balance between contributing to a sustainable future and meeting current needs for product performance” according to Dr. Martin Hubbe, a professor and scientist at North Carolina State University. Thus, at both the beginning and end of the product’s life, we reduce our environmental impact. Our efforts started with a combination of innovative curiosity, a desire to join the battle to save the environment and a goal to create a product that would exceed consumer expectations. Our Rayrick brand evolved over time, with the help of scientific minds, business expertise, and major material and manufacturing sources who recognized and supported the magnitude of our vision and its potential to both generate profits and reduce plastic pollution. What sport or commercial fisher would not want a strong line, which casts well, reduces the risk of outboard engine entanglement and substantially lowers the plastic water pollution which inevitably occurs from nylon? The Rayrick brand covers a unique product line that can be constructed into sizes from 0.5 mm diameters to 12 mm. Diameter can readily be increased since the line can be sold as a monofilament or can be braided depending on the application. Our fishing line has the added benefit of avoiding outboard engine entanglement, our nets are designed to give accidentally entangled marine mammals a fighting chance to break through the netting material and survive. Thus, we hope to reduce the number of unintended deaths of dolphins, porpoises, otters, sea lions, seals and whales who find themselves ensnared in nets. Crab and lobster baskets are based on our net concept. Our patent pending design mimics nature. Like a shell protecting a nut, an outer protective layer covers our environmentally friendly polymer. But if a line breaks, the shell separates, exposing the polymer fibers. This design explains why the line should reduce the risk of entangling outboard motors and gives us the hope that marine mammals can break the individual micron sized fibers once they are exposed.
