DAIWA Retainer Sling: Professional-Grade Fish Care for Weighing and Retention

Respecting the fish and ensuring that it returns to the water in good condition is the heart of the passion of carp fishermen. That is why it is essential to equip yourself with equipment that facilitates weighing and releasing the carp. The DAIWA Retainer Sling is engineered precisely for this purpose, offering a superior solution for the safe handling, retention, and weighing of your prized catches. Designed for the discerning angler who prioritises fish welfare above all else, this retainer sling combines innovative features with robust construction, making it an indispensable part of your bivvy and carp care setup.

Prioritise Fish Welfare and Recovery

The primary function of the DAIWA Retainer Sling is to provide a safe and calm environment for the fish. The main body is constructed from an ultra-soft, fish-friendly quick-drain mesh. This design ensures a constant and maximum flow of fresh, oxygenated water over the fish while it is being retained, minimising stress and aiding its recovery before release. The dark colour of the mesh further helps to keep the fish calm. Full-length, high-buoyancy support floats keep the sling correctly positioned on the water´s surface, preventing it from sinking and ensuring the fish remains secure and comfortable at all times.

Effortless and Secure Handling

Moving a large carp from the water to the mat can be a critical moment. This sling features multiple reinforced webbing carry handles, strategically placed for a balanced and secure lift. This eliminates undue pressure on the fish and provides you with a confident grip. For secure retention in the margins, the sling is equipped with double-ended, full-length zippers complete with secure locking clips. This design prevents any chance of the fish escaping while allowing for easy and controlled access when you are ready for weighing or release.
