Gardner Retention Sling- Fish Care

Carp anglers need all the help they can get to ensure a safe catch and release of your fish and some times you are going to need to hold on to your fish for a little longer. Perhaps you need to dash back to your car for some fresh camera batteries, or maybe you need a hand from another angler to safely lift a large fish onto the scales.  A retention sling ensures that the fish is as comfortable as possible during this time, which should still be kept to the shortest length possible.

The Gardner Retention Weigh Sling allows you to safely retain fish for a temporary period, for instance, while you get your camera set up, and then weigh them in the safest way possible, giving you, and them, the smoothest possible bankside experience.

Made from large, soft mesh panels allows for an excellent water exchange, which is vital for keeping your fish happy and comfortable during its time on the bank, while solid upper panels limit light penetration, mimicking the subsurface world, and helping to keep the fish calm.

Gardner has also coupled the sling with a light retaining cord, which holds the retention sling in the water when tethered to a bankstick or rod support system. The sling also includes a strong 3/8 BSF clip, which should hold firm in most weather conditions this winter and floats have been added, to give extra buoyancy while the sling is being used to retain fish in the water.

For ease of access, there is a full-length zip that ensures safe, secure retention of lively fish, while reflective bands highlight the position of the sling during night fishing or the low light which carp anglers are bound to start experiencing, meaning that your catch is always safe.

This retention sling does not just benefit the angler as it is an extremely useful tool for allowing your catches to recover and to fully recuperate in the water before being released which makes for a happy, healthy and safe fish.
