The establishment of the Leeda brand in the 1980s, initiated manufacture that strives to deliver fishing products with a lasting performance that are both versatile and unique. Leeda in general covers major sectors of the angling market such as Coarse, Sea, Game and Carp fishing, but the Rogue range is primarily a Carp brand with key items of specialist tackle. Every product is designed to be as durable and versatile as possible. Rogue tackle offering anglers of all abilities equipment they can perform well with and rely on.
In recent times, the catching of a carp created chaos surrounding the angler frantically trying to sort out their camera to capture the carp in all its glory. Whilst struggling to simultaneously try to keep the carp safe on an unhooking mat or even in a landing net.
The floating sling otherwise referred to retention slings are able to retain carps safely without stressing of the angler or the fish. Slings such as Leeda's, are very useful in aiding in the safe release of fish and can even give them a small rest before being lifted out for a photo.
These slings also have a dual-purpose providing part of a kit to also weigh the fish. This sling is also designed to be ultra-safe for carp, using the magnetic clips to ensure that the sling is a lot neater when weighing fish, therefore giving more accurate readings for the angler.
This carp sling also comes with a long retaining cord, which is far better in case the fish tries to escape in shallow margins or when weighing, again keeping the fish safe and the angler's experience less stressful.
The base of this sling is rounded instead of squared to avoid fish sliding from one end to the other when in transit. The sling is also constructed of a soft mesh which promotes water flow and increases fish safety as it allows for rapid water flow and drainage throughout.
The handles stem from the semi-rigid arms sown into the sides of the sling, having a gap in the centre of the sling to keep the main body of the fish open, allowing a better water circulation to the carp. The Leeda Rogue product also offers ultra-buoyancy, means the sling can float in the water retaining the fish for a short period of time.
This lightweight fabric and soft mesh also benefit the angler in being easy to drain water when packing away. The Rogue floating sling is quick drying which means packing up should be a cleaner and efficient.
Overall, this floating sling from the Rogue range is able to keep a fish contained while an angler can arrange unhooking mats, cameras and weighing, making multi-tasking easier at an affordable cost.
