Unhooking Mats & Cradles

Unhooking mats and cradles for safe fish care

Unhooking mats and cradles protect fish while unhooking, photographing and returning them. They are essential for carp fishing and useful for pike and other large species.

Protect the fish on the bank

A wet, padded mat protects scales and the slime coat. Cradles with raised sides offer extra security for large carp, while compact roll-up mats are practical for mobile predator anglers.

Choose the right fish-care setup

Look at padding, size, transport weight and drainage. Always wet the mat before use and keep the fish low, supported and out of the water for as short a time as possible.

Complete your fish-care setup with unhooking, weighing and measuring, weigh slings and carp sacks, landing nets and predator landing nets.
