Gardner Tackle Safety Sling Mat - Standard

With an unhooking area of 94cm x 81cm, it is suitable for most standard carp, though anglers targeting exceptionally large specimens should ensure the fish is positioned carefully.

The mat is designed to be lightweight and portable on its own; it does not come with a separate carry bag as the design itself is meant to be minimalist.

No, the 50mm protective foam is integrated into the construction to ensure structural stability and consistent fish protection.

Use fresh water and a mild detergent if needed. Always air dry the mat completely before packing it away.

The pocket is designed for compact scales and small tools. Large digital scales may not fit; please check your scale dimensions against the pocket size.

Yes, the 210D PVC is smooth and waterproof, designed specifically to be gentle on fish scales and mucus membranes.

Ensure the zipper is fully closed before use and keep the mat stored in an upright position when not in use to allow for drainage.

Use a soft-bristled brush and lukewarm water to gently scrub the 210D PVC surface; avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges.

Clean the zipper tracks of any grit or dried mud and apply a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
