These nets usually feature deep mesh and strong handles, allowing you to gently cradle the carp without harming it, and the deep mesh design ensures the fish stays calm and unhurt while being safely landed.

Types of Mats for Fish Care at CPS Tackle
Unhooking Mats: When taking the hook out of the carp, it is essential to use unhooking mats because they ensure safety. These pads are soft and prevent any harm from happening; thus, this gives the fish better chances for recovery before being released back into the water.

FAQs
How do I maintain my fishing gear?
Taking care of your gear is easy. Rinse everything off with clean water after every use. Ensure that you dry your gear before keeping it somewhere cool and dry. Doing so will prevent damage and increase the lifespan of fishing nets, scales, or any other equipment used for fishing.
Are fishing scales accurate?
When used correctly, both digital and mechanical fishing scales can be accurate. Digital scales generally offer more precise readings, but mechanical ones are reliable, too. Look for scales with calibration features and check customer reviews to see how consistent they are.
What is the purpose of unhooking mats?
Unhooking mats are designed to give carp a gentle landing pad while you remove the hooks. They're typically cushioned, easy to clean, and fold up nicely, so you can easily bring them along.
Why is fish care important in carp fishing?
It is essential to take care of the fish while carp angling so that we engage in responsible fishing and maintain a healthy carp population in our waters. Proper handling, treating injuries, and releasing the fish safely are all part of preserving them as well as their ecosystem.
