unhooking mat/ weigh sling

Can anyone recommend an unhooking mat for barbel and possibly pike that also doubles as a weigh sling for the mobile angler?

I have a Nash beanie slinger which is around 30 inches long and zips up to form a bag which I put bait and flasks in .It can then be placed over your head and shoulder like a shoulder bag,it also doubles as a seat for summer walkabouts.
Spot on for me but dont know if you can still get them.If anyone knows let me know where so I can get another.

Ihave got the 30 plus sling mat and it's a great bit of kit,
If u have Avon scales aswell it is the right weight to zero them up perfect
 
I've got the Korum one and it is a good bit of kit for the roving barbel angler but i leave it at home when i'm piking. Reason: it's just not big enough for an upper double or bigger.

I use the Nash mat which has a really handy zip pocket and carries either by handles or over your head. It's not exactly easy to carry, but if you're piking the rest of your gear should be minimal.
