My CA retention/weight sling is great but big and bulky. Are the blow up ones any good?

I got caught out in the summer catching a fish much too big for my weigh sling, so I need something capable of comfortably holding forties but only for weighing/transporting not for retaining and figured a blow up one would save me a lot of space and a bit of weight.

Cheers

Thanks bud, but it was more the inflatable retention slings like the Nash one I was asking about instead of a cradle 🙂

Apologies mate,I didn't even know they did inflatable sling/retainers...lol.
My 1st thought was inflatable mat and as you said "for weighing/transporting, NOT retaining".
A lot of normal mats can be used for that I assumed some inflatable ones could too, maybe not, not sure, haven't looked into it, but it would save you a extra bit of kit.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
