FAQ

When fully open the XL measures W110cm x H5cm x D55cm, giving plenty of room for large carp. When folded down it closes to a compact W60cm x H43cm x D30cm, making it easy to pack into your barrow or bag alongside the included carry bag.

The cover features a rubber mesh window that allows you to pour water over the fish while it remains safely enclosed. The bottom of the mat also has a rubber mesh window so excess water drains away freely, preventing pooling.

Yes — the mat is constructed from fish-friendly materials throughout, including a 5cm padded bottom mattress and padded side walls that cushion the fish and minimise stress during handling and photography.

The mat features zip openings on both sides, so you can open whichever side is closest to the water's edge for a smooth, controlled release without having to lift the fish over a high wall.

Yes, a dedicated carry bag is included with the XL mat, keeping it clean and making it straightforward to transport to and from the bankside.

A front pocket is built into the mat specifically for storing a set of scales and fish care products such as antiseptic spray, so everything you need is right there when you need it.
