Carp mats

Fish protection is now a basic requirement for every conscious angler - and one of the most important tools is a proper carp mat. These soft, well-cushioned surfaces ensure that the fish caught are not injured during hook release and weighing. The design of modern carp mats is no longer just about function, but also about practicality: they are easy to dry, fold up and transport.

Prowess mats are an excellent choice for those who care about the health of their fish. Their thick sponging and high rims prevent fish from rolling off or drying out on the mat. Some models also have a water-repellent cover or lid for extra safety during longer procedures.

Why is a simple mat under the fish not enough?
Plain surfaces do not provide adequate protection for the fish - scales can be damaged or the fish can even jump out and hit itself.

Which type of mat is best?
It depends on how much and where you fish. Thick, rigid-walled models are safer for larger carp, while more compact, roll-up models are ideal for shorter fishing or hiking.

Do I need a separate case for my carp mat?
Not always, but a separate case makes it easier to keep them clean and dry, especially in a car or caravan.

How do I clean it after use?
Rinse with lukewarm water, without soap is best. It's important to let it dry completely before storing.

Garbolino also offers ergonomic, thick mats that are ideal even in a competitive environment. In the TackleBait webshop, you can simply choose the model that suits you - either by price or size - and be using it on the waterfront within a few days.
