Why Do You Need an S-Type Carp Sling Bag?
With the development of carp fishing, which originated in Great Britain where anglers were the first in the world to instill a sense of care and safety for the fish caught, they began using the first simple carp mats. It was only a matter of time to create a product that would facilitate the weighing of the caught fish and its safe transfer from water to the mat and from the mat back into the water. Thus, the Sling - a carp sack, was invented, which over the years has evolved and today we can get it in various versions. Today, a carp sack, along with the mat, is an essential item for every carp angler!
Here are some reasons why anglers use this type of sack:
Fish Safety:
Carp Sack Sling allows for the safe transfer of the fish after catching it from the water to the mat - it is especially important to use it for large carps! It enables weighing the fish above the mat, helping to minimize its stress. After taking photos over the mat, we can safely return the fish to the water and calmly release it with care for its health.
Weighing the Fish:
A carp sack is usually equipped with measuring elements, such as special straps that allow for comfortable movement of the fish to and from the mat, and metal rings placed on the straps, which enable the safe weighing of the caught carp. This facilitates accurate determination of the weight of the catch, which for carp anglers is often an important aspect of their sessions. An additional product that greatly assists in the correct and safe weighing of the caught fish in the Sling is the so-called weighing tripod.
Photographing the Fish:
After placing the fish in the sack and transferring it to the mat, we can safely take a photo with it. The carp sack is equipped with special zippers which, when fully opened, allow the fish to be lifted above the mat for a photo. After the photo session, we can easily zip it up and safely return the fish to the water. I would like to draw particular attention to ensuring the proper positioning of the carp's pectoral fins before lifting it in the sack, which must be along its body while being transported! This is a very important element, as improper handling can often lead to their damage or even complete breakage!
The Sling-type carp sack is a very practical and essential product, which allows for quick and safe care of the caught carp and enables the stress-free release of the fish back into the water, which in turn contributes to the protection of the carp population and the aquatic ecosystem, which is our utmost concern. It is worth noting that one should always treat the caught fish with respect, and the Sling and the carp mat only help us in this regard.
