MIKADO Carp Basic Retainer Sling | Essential Fish Care & Weighing System

Ensure the ultimate care and accurate weighing of your prized catches with the MIKADO Carp Basic Retainer Sling. Designed for the modern, conscientious angler, this essential piece of fishing equipment prioritizes fish welfare without compromising on functionality and durability. It serves as a critical link in your catch-and-release process, providing a safe, secure, and calm environment for the fish while you prepare your camera and weighing scales. This is more than just a bag; it´s a commitment to responsible angling.

The MIKADO Carp Basic is a light and compact weigh-and-release bag for your catch. Its intelligent design is centered around the well-being of the fish. Made of soft and friendly 2x2mm mesh, this sling allows for exceptional water flow, ensuring the carp remains fully oxygenated and comfortable during its short stay. The fine, knotless mesh is specifically chosen to protect the fish´s delicate slime coat and prevent damage to its fins and scales, minimizing stress and promoting a healthy release.

Functionality is at the core of this retainer sling. The structure is stiffened with arches that keep the bag fully open, making it significantly easier to guide your catch into the sling safely. These integrated floating supports also ensure the sling remains on the surface of the water, keeping the fish visible and secure. For complete peace of mind, the sling is fitted with robust, full-length zippers that can be securely fastened, preventing any chance of the fish escaping while it is recovering in the margins.

Engineered for strength and precision, the sling is reinforced with heavy-duty straps that run the full length of the body. These straps converge into strong, metal weighing loops, providing a balanced and stable connection point for your scales. This design guarantees an accurate weight reading every time by distributing the load evenly. The same straps double as comfortable carry handles, allowing you to transport the fish safely from the water to your unhooking mat and back again with maximum support and minimal effort.

As part of our Bags and luggage range, portability was a key consideration. The lightweight construction and compact design mean the Carp Basic Retainer Sling takes up minimal space in your gear. It folds down neatly and comes complete with its own dedicated carry bag, keeping it clean and contained during transport and storage. The quick-drying mesh material also means you can pack it away shortly after your session without worrying about lingering moisture or odours. It´s the perfect, practical solution for any carp angler, from day-session enthusiasts to long-stay bivvy specialists.
