Extended Product Information

FAQs

What are the dimensions of the T1 XL?

The sling measures approximately 130 cm in length, 22 cm in width, and 70 cm in height.

Is the material safe for fish?

Yes, the sling is constructed from soft, fish-friendly mesh designed to minimize scale loss and protect the fish's slime coat.

Can I leave a fish in this overnight?

No, this is intended for short-term retention only (e.g., preparing your scales, camera, or recovery) and should not be used as a long-term storage bag.

How do I attach the sling to a bankstick?

Use the provided retention cord and speed clip to link the sling handle to your bankstick, ensuring a secure connection.

Does it come with a storage bag?

Yes, it includes a dedicated drawcord carry bag for clean and easy transport.

Troubleshooting

Sling feels heavy during weighing

Ensure the sling is fully drained; the quick-drain mesh should clear water in seconds. If it stays heavy, check for trapped debris in the mesh fabric.

Sling is drifting too much

Ensure your bankstick is securely anchored in the lake bed and that the retention cord is pulled taut, providing the necessary tension to keep the sling in place.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent fish safety due to soft, fish-friendly mesh
Rapid draining keeps the weight accurate and handling efficient
High-visibility and stable buoyancy for peace of mind
Robust construction with reinforced seams for long-term use

Cons

Large size can be cumbersome to manage in very tight swims
Requires careful rinsing and drying to prevent odors
Not intended for long-term storage of fish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, first assemble the sling by ensuring the floats are positioned correctly. Attach the retention cord to the provided anchor point and ensure it is secured to a sturdy bankstick at a depth where the fish can breathe easily. After every use, it is imperative to rinse the sling thoroughly with fresh water to remove any slime or debris. Allow the mesh to dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight before packing it into the included carry bag. This prevents mold and degradation of the polyester material.
