Catfish Pro XL Pro Flotation Weigh Sling

Featuring the same overall design as the Safety Weigh Sling, but with floats added to the rigid sling arms to enable safe short term fish retention in the margins, if needed, this floatation weigh sling is designed to make a safe, simple release of your fish as easy as possible once it has been weighed and photographed. Supplied in a stink bag to ensure your vehicle remains fresh and dry no matter how many fish your session brings you, this is an essential item of fish care equipment that should be on the must-have list of every conscientious angler. With a lot of the contention around angling centring on keeping fish out of the water, it is becoming increasingly important for anglers to practise good fish care, both in the water and on the bank.

A weigh sling is a safe, secure means of supporting and protecting your fish, and ensuring it is kept fully wetted, as you weigh and photograph it, ensuring it can be released successfully into the water, and swim off a little wiser, and more of a challenge for the next angler who comes along.

Some anglers will scoff at the idea of taking particular measures, beyond basic common sense, to ensure fish safety, but all good anglers, of any generation or discipline, are acutely aware that angling is, and should always be, a mutually beneficial relationship; in exchange for getting to see some truly beautiful fish up close and personal, anglers have always had a tradition of concern for the waters they fish, and the eco systems that those waters contain; appropriate fish care is simply an extension of the naturalist element inherent in the personality and mindset of all good anglers, and ensures that the challenge of catching intelligent, bold fish is one that can be enjoyed by as broad a spectrum of anglers as possible.

Designed by leading UK expert Simon Clarke in 2004, the Catfish Pro brand is entirely built around the needs of catfish, and the anglers who catch them.  The added size, strength, and stability of specialist catfishing equipment makes it more than adequate for carp fishing and other angling disciplines, effortlessly ensuring the best possible experience for both angler and fish.
