Predator Fish Care FAQs

What size unhooking mat will I need for predator fish?

The mat should be designed to take the possibility of the largest fish that are present. This will often be outlined in the fishery rules.

Are the unhooking mats sufficiently padded to protect the fish?

Yes, a good unhooking mat should be well padded, and have a smooth fish-friendly PVC material to protect the fish's flanks and mucus layer.

Are the fishing weigh slings easy to clean and maintain between uses?

As with nets all nets and slings should be dried in the sun after use. This is the best way to clean and care for them. You should not transport wet nets/slings between lakes/venues.

Are the weigh slings made of fish-friendly materials to protect the fish?

Yes, they are.

Do the fishing measure mats have clear and easy to read markings?

No, some pike catfish mats will have markings to measure length but often they are similar to carp mats and are just green or camo in colour.

Do fishing measure mats have non-slip features?

No, generally not.
