Carp Care & Unhooking

Carp care is the most vital aspect of specimen angling, focusing on the use of high-quality unhooking mats and cradles to protect the fish's protective slime coating and internal organs while out of the water. Standard flat mats have largely been superseded by cradles or "walled" mats which feature padded sides to prevent a lively fish from sliding off onto hard ground. These products are designed with fish-friendly, non-abrasive materials that should always be thoroughly wetted before use to minimize stress. Beyond the mat, a complete carp care kit includes antiseptic treatments for hook holds and body scales, ensuring the fish is returned to the water in the best possible condition for future growth and capture.
