Carp Care

With thisTest series we take a look at unhooking mats and of course, protection is paramount here. As much as we all love a pocket-friendly product, we honestly believe that this is one product that no angler should scrape on, ever! What we are looking for here is the complete protective package, how much padding is on offer, can the carp be retained for short periods without flapping off or out of the mat and how mobile the entire bundle is. Yes, before you say it, the carp we have used for illustrative purposes is rather large, measuring in at a whopping 84 centimetres long and 56 centimetres from dorsal fin to pelvic fin, hence the tight fit. Weighs: 1.

Carp care should always be any angler’s focus when any capture is on the bank; keeping the fish in pristine condition for future anglers to enjoy is paramount, as well as the carp’s welfare. The Sabre Crib has been designed using a super-soft PVC waterproof material, ensuring that the fish are well protected while in it. The Crib itself has adjustable legs and mudfeet, ideal for those situations when you find yourself in a swim with uneven ground. The Crib also has a protective cover for keeping your catch safe and well protected while setting up your scales or the camera for those all-important capture shots, and its lightweight and durable folding frame makes the Everlevel Crib perfect for transportation either on the barrow or carrying to a swim.

Travelling light has always been deemed as an aspect for river anglers or dedicated bank crawlers awaiting a stalking opportunity, well I think this is as far from the truth as it could be. Of course, it is more essential for such anglers but, no matter where you fish, what you fish for, or how long your next session is, the lighter you are, the more mobile and adaptable you can be and it’s better to be prepared than not. Carp care is paramount whether you travel light or take everything including the kitchen sink. As part of the established Atom Concept range, this lightweight unhooking mat provides a compact fish-care solution utilising the best materials available.

As with any outdoor activity, conservation is important with regard to protecting the future of our hobby and fish care is paramount to the success and prosperity of carp angling. The new Intensive Care from Gardner is designed with protection and care in mind. Created to provide a complete care system that carp anglers can quickly and easily apply when out on the bank was key. With a highly active antifungal and antibacterial formula, Intensive Care penetrates easily and begins working immediately to fight infection and speed up the important stage of recovery.

The first set of digital scales I ever tested were made by Fox and, while they were entirely new and took some getting used to, I kind of liked them. It didn’t take long, however, for me to return to a traditional dial scale and I’ve not paid digital scales much attention ever since. However, these new digis from Fox arrived with a request to review them, so I took a closer look. They’re extremely easy to set up and, even better, are quick and easy to zero once the weigh sling has been hung on them.
