Gardner Retention Sling – Slings

• An extremely useful tool for allowing your catches to recover before and after weighing, treatment and photography, as this allows them to fully recuperate in the water before being released which makes for a happy, healthy and safe fish. This effectively minimises the handling of any fish caught – as there is no need to transfer the fish between a weigh bag and a sack.
• Designed for anglers to temporarily retain fish and then weigh them in the safest possible way. Use this to safely weigh and temporarily retain fish whilst preparing camera equipment, etc.
• Features a large soft mesh panels that allow excellent water exchange which is absolutely essential to allow the fish a speedy and full recovery after their capture.
• The ‘solid’ upper panels at the top of each side reduce light penetration, helping to keep the fish calm and reducing overall stress. If the fish is calm and quiet it will be in a much better position to recover after being caught.
• Long retaining cord (4m) and 3/8 BSF clip for secure attachment to a standard bank stick.
• Hi-Vis reflective bands highlight the position in low light and at night. Please note the nature of these strips mean that they will show up extremely vividly in flash photography. So it’s worth keeping this in mind when you’re arranging/positioning your equipment in preparation for fish shots.
• Manufactured with single piece solid composite poles that are strong and lightweight.
• Full length zip secures the fish safely inside and floats give enough buoyancy to keep it on the surface.
• Designed to give the fish adequate space but not enough room to enable the fish to turn around once inside. It offers adequate room for large carp, without being so deep that fish can potentially rub on the lake bed.
