FAQs

Can this sling be used for overnight retention?

No, the Avid Pro-Tect Flotation Sling is designed strictly for short-term retention and safe handling.

How do I attach the sling to the bank?

Use the provided 5m retention cord, which features a 3/8-inch thread that screws directly into most standard bank sticks.

How much does the sling weigh?

The unit weighs exactly 1kg.

Is the mesh safe for the fish?

Yes, the sling is constructed with fish-friendly, soft camo mesh to prevent scale damage.

How should I store the sling when not in use?

Dry the sling completely, then store it in the supplied pull-cord sleeve in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

Zips feel stiff or stick

Clear any debris or grit from the zipper teeth and ensure no mesh material is trapped in the slider.

Sling does not balance during weighing

Ensure the fish is positioned centrally within the sling and the mesh is not folded or caught under the fish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the sling, simply remove it from the transport sleeve, unzip the central opening, and ensure the foam supports are positioned correctly. To care for the product, rinse it thoroughly with clean water after every session to remove slime and debris, then allow it to dry completely in the shade before packing it away. Avoid storing the sling while wet to prevent mold growth and unpleasant odors. The sling is compatible with standard bank sticks using the 3/8-inch thread adapter on the retention cord.
