Pike / Predator Aqua Fish Care * Combi Mat

Aqua Combi Mat

Of course every angler on the bank wants to pursue bigger and better fish and we’re all constantly striving to beat our current personal best. After all, nothing is quite so satisfying as seeing our scales swing round to the biggest number we’ve ever recorded. However, it is sometimes easy to forget that fish care is paramount to angling success. Looking after the fish whilst they are in your care on the bank ensures that they are able to grow bigger and stronger. We want the fish that we catch to thrive, not simply survive, and we’re well aware that with the proper care, today’s low twenty could be a British record breaker of the future. Lucky for us, there are plenty of brands on the market that share this deep understanding of fish. Aqua is one such brand and the team at Aqua have worked hard to ensure that they are designing gear which allows anglers to be as confident as possible that the fish they land are going to go on to live long and robust lives.

The Aqua Combi Mat is one such product and it has been designed with the welfare of carp and other big fish in mind. The mat is 120cm in length and has a width of 70cm. This ensures that it is more than capable of comfortably cradling some of the UK’s largest carp. What’s more, the mat boasts a full 5cm of padding. This is because Aqua understands that one of the biggest causes of damage to fish on the bank is the bank itself. Understandably, fish do not like being out of the water and anyone who has reeled in an aggressive fish will know that they can easily carry some of that energy with them onto the bank. The deep padding on this Aqua unhooking mat ensures that even the most energetic fish will not be able to cause themselves any harm on the bank.

The Aqua Combi Mat has been manufactured from high performance Duratexx material. Duratexx is a precision textile; quick drying and highly durable, it is also incredibly soft. This means that it won’t take too much of your capture’s protective slime from its scales, provided you ensure the mat is damp before you place the fish onto it. This mat is completely ECHO endorsed, so you can be confident that your fish is in the best possible hands on the bank.

What’s more, this Aqua Combi Mat is much more than just an unhooking mat. With a fully zipped flap, you can use this mat to calm your lively fish, retaining it in the mat whilst you set up your scales for weighing and camera for photographs. This also ensures that the mat can be used as a non-restrictive weigh sling and an effective transportation method for delivering the fish back to the water, and the mat has D-rings on the corners to allow you to hang it on the sling. These D rings can also be used to attach a carry strap, which is supplied with the mat as standard. This allows you to be mobile on the bank and this mat is ideal for the stalking carp angler.

An essential tool for any angler who enjoys carp fishing, this Aqua Combi Mat is can be used across the disciplines for fish of all shapes and sizes. Whether you enjoy pike fishing and want a way to keep your fish calm whilst you negotiate your lure out from its teeth or you simply want to be confident that your monster carp is fully protected on the bank, the Aqua Combi Mat is the ideal multipurpose tool for you.
