Unhooking, weighing and measuring your catch safely
Unhooking, weighing and measuring gear helps you handle fish responsibly from landing to release. Proper fish care is essential for carp, pike and other large species.
Protect fish while unhooking
Use a wet unhooking mat or cradle whenever a fish is on the bank. Padded mats protect scales and the slime coat, while unhooking tools help remove hooks quickly and safely.
Weigh and measure accurately
A good weigh sling supports the fish evenly, and a measuring mat lets you record length without unnecessary stress. Keep handling time short and return the fish carefully.
