The Gardner Retention Weigh Sling is an essential tool for carp anglers who prioritize fish welfare by combining safe temporary retention with accurate weighing capabilities in one piece of equipment. Designed to minimize handling stress, this sling allows you to safely keep your catch before weighing, though it must be used responsibly and never in shallow, warm margins where water oxygen levels may be insufficient for fish recovery.

No, the sling is for temporary retention only. Always keep fish in the water for the minimum time necessary.
Exercise extreme caution. Do not retain fish in shallow margins during high temperatures, as water oxygen levels can drop to dangerous levels.
The clip uses a standard 3/8 BSF thread, making it compatible with almost all modern banksticks and storm poles.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove mud and slime, then hang to air dry in a well-ventilated, shaded spot.
No, the sling features integrated buoyancy floats designed to keep it afloat and stable at all times.
Yes, the sling is designed to function as a weigh sling, allowing you to move the fish directly from the water to your scales.
Check the tracks for lake grit or debris and rinse with fresh water. Use a silicone-based lubricant if the zip remains stiff.
Ensure the retaining cord is anchored to a sturdy, well-embedded bankstick. Avoid placing the sling in areas with heavy flow or wave action.
To set up the sling, ensure your bankstick is driven deep into the ground before attaching the 3/8 BSF clip. Regularly check the zip for grit or debris, as smooth operation is critical for fish security. After each session, it is vital to rinse the sling thoroughly with fresh water to remove lake silt and organic matter, then allow it to air dry completely in a shaded area away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Store the sling in a dry, ventilated bag to avoid mildew.
