as per the title really are there any reasonably sized flat mats which dont cost a fortune which have a retaining flap.

have a fox easy mat copy but doesnt have a flat and needs to be pegged to give the sides some rigidity

Thinking anglers mat is an awesome bit of kit, buts it's a premium price

Agreed TA. I've also found because it is so thick, fish have a really hard time trying to kick off on the mat. I will buy another when the time comes round.

cheers for replies all.

price of some of the mats is getting daft.
something like the aqua or the chub X-TRA Protection Duo Mat should fit the bill

The prices are daft, but arguably the most important piece of kit you'll ever own.
