Unhooking mats and Weigh Sling

[Paul Pittman]

Looking at recommendations for both please?

 

[Terry Simner]

Korum Fast Mat for sure, unless you're regularly catching barbel over 13/14lbs. My weight sling is 15yrs old so can't recommend a 'new' one.

 

[Dave Collins]

Korum Fast Mat for me as well had Barbel to over 16lb in it.
I use one of these https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/gar...&objectID=97114&indexName=live_ad_uk_products

I like the foldamat slightly more than the fast mat (both excellent btw)
I’m not regularly catching big fish but it just offers a little more room at the head end of the fish for me to get me big mittens in there to pull the hook out.
Foldamat is around 4 inches longer

Weigh Sling ordered

Hi Paul, how big is this Gardner weigh sling when packed? I am looking for a compact one that can put in the rucksack. Is it possible for this one? Thanks

Packs down small enough to put in your back pocket.

Packs down small enough to put in your back pocket.

Although that is not recommended after you have had a hectic session!

Excellent weigh sling though - I’ve had mine for years now. It is not suited for larger (longer) fish though - I’ve got an Advanta one that fits that bill even if I have only had to use it on meat caught pike so far….

The Gardner sling seems to be out of stock everywhere I looked. Misplaced my old one somewhere. Had to buy a Cotswold one.
