Carp Care

Look after the fish you catch

Nash Monster Carp Cradle

Nash was the first company to produce safety carp sacks and slings - our roots are in carp care. The monster Carp Cradle caters for monster carp. It is the safest unhooking mat ever developed. It overcomes the man potential dangers in the design of traditional, on the ground padded mats. Notably, a thrashing carp is now completely suspended above the ground, ensuring there is no possibility of damage. It also completely encapsulates the carp, eliminating the possibility of a lively fish escaping as could be the case with traditional mats. The monster Carp Cradle is the only unhooking mat to buy if you truly care about the safety of your carp.

Carp Cradle

The Carp Cradle is the future of unhooking mats.

The best way to describe the Carp Cradle is to imagine an unhooking mat with deep padded sides suspended OFF the floor via a metal frame so that the carp is safely held above the ground - no matter how much it thrashes or beats its head it is away from the contact of hard ground and safely suspended in mid-air.

Another hugely important element of this design is that because the mat is suspended off the ground it enables the angler to kneel with his legs under the mat; as oppose to all other designs of mats where you kneel alongside – this means the carp is lifted and held directly over the mat at all times.

Weight Lifter Sling

Weightlifter Sling

Nothing has been left to chance or overlooked on the new Weightlifter sling. The basic concept is a sling with strong aluminium bars that break apart for compact storage.
The bars will perfectly support any size carp that swims. There is no compromise with this design and attention to detail is evident. For example, all seams are sewn to the outside of the sling so the inside is seamless with no hard edges to damage the fish and drain holes ensure accurate weighing.

There are even centralising rings on the weighing handles so the scales always settle in the right position. Heavy duty, webbing handles are fixed to both ends so two people can safely transport a carp back to the water's edge.
