Slings
Slings are designed to support the fish's weight while it is being unhooked and weighed. They are typically made from a soft and durable material, and they feature a number of features to ensure the fish's safety, such as:
Padded edges: This helps to prevent the fish from being injured.
Reinforced handles: This makes it easy to lift and carry the fish safely.
Quick-release buckles: This allows anglers to quickly and easily release the fish back into the water.
Mats
Mats are designed to provide a comfortable and safe place for the fish to rest while the angler prepares their rig. They are typically made from a thick and padded material, and they feature a number of features to ensure the fish's comfort and safety, such as:
Raised edges: This helps to prevent the fish from rolling off the mat.
Non-slip base: This helps to keep the mat in place and prevents the fish from slipping.
Drainage holes: This helps to keep the mat clean and dry.
