Solar Tackle Worldwide Retention Sling XL is a large fish-care retention sling designed for carp anglers who need a safe, secure way to retain, weigh and photograph bigger fish. Its 130 x 70cm size gives extra room compared with the standard model, making it well suited to specimen carp and larger lake fish where space, support and control are important.
Easy-flow mesh allows fast drainage when lifting the sling and helps keep water moving around the fish during short-term retention. The double-zipped main compartment is secured with a Houdini clip, giving added security while you prepare weighing equipment, photography gear or your unhooking mat.
A small pocket houses the retention cord, which includes a 3/8 BSF thread and a large metal loop for bankside attachment. Reflective tape sections on the cord improve visibility at night, making it more practical for overnighters and low-light sessions.
Dual reinforced carry and weigh handles provide strength and stability when lifting or weighing fish, helping keep handling controlled and secure. The XL model gives added capacity over the standard 105 x 68cm version, making it a better option for anglers targeting larger carp.
It offers a strong mix of fish care, security and practical bankside use at a sensible price, especially for anglers who want a dedicated sling rather than relying on basic weighing gear. Solar has a strong reputation among carp anglers for reliable session tackle, and this XL retention sling fits naturally into that fish-care-focused range.
