Shame there isn't a flap , being mobile isn't any excuse for fish safety IMO
Don't get me wrong I used to unhook on long grass back in the day

But if you leave the fish in the weigh/retention sling there's no real need for a flap...

From the greatest mat ever to a flapless flop in a few weeks. Brilliant 😂

I was actually thinking of getting one of these but after much umming and ahing settled on the Thinking Anglers one which I'd had my eye on for a few years, seems perfect to be honest

I personally prefer a flap to secure the fish , I've grown used to one
A sling does help , I can see that,
So I won't be changing from my quick mat just yet
Nothing wrong with the esp , a very good idea, a good product by the looks of it
I probably wait for the copy with a flap👍🏻😁
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
