Fish retention nets and mats are used for temporary in-water retention and safer catch handling on the bank. They are useful in float, bottom and match fishing.
What matters when choosing a retention net?
Check overall length, diameter, ring strength, mesh material and attachment system. The net should provide adequate space for the expected catch.
How to choose a fish mat?
Match dimensions to the size of fish you expect to catch. Soft, water-resistant and easy-clean materials make handling more practical.
Use and maintenance
Wet the mat before placing fish on it, then rinse and dry equipment thoroughly after the session.
