About this deal

After just catching a whopper of a carp, you need somewhere safe and cushioned to place it down for unhooking and inspection before weighing and photos. The Air Mat comes in two sizes, so you can choose the mat that’s right for the kind of carp you typically catch, or invest in a larger and more supportive option from the start, a good choice if you know your carpcampaigning will take you to foreign shores, and bring you face to face with some truly massive specimens. The Standard Carpmaster comes in at 100cm x 50cm, while the XL gives you 125cm x 70cm of cushioned, protective space to unhook and photograph your new personal best, which is fully enclosed by the air-cushioned, raised ribs that form a traditional cradle arrangement, and also support the weight of a fish if you decide to flip the Air Mat upside down, and use it that way – a better choice for smaller specimens, and those long, slender carp that sometimes crop up. In cradle form, a removable 50mm foam base gives soft, soothing support to carp of all sizes, and simply pulls out if you need to invert the mat for smaller fish.

There are six height-adjustable options on the legs to ensure a comfortable level for not only the angler but the correct level for the fish.

There are also rotating mud feet on the legs of the frame to keep the cradle level on uneven bankside terrain. For every fish it is of great importance that it is treated well after being caught. After all, most of us fish according to the catch and release principle and we want to return the fish in good health, so that we may catch it again when it has grown.

This can cause illness or even death. Pity, because you just saw this beautiful pike sliding over your jerkbait!
