Reception and weighing mattresses for carp

In carp fishing, respect for the catch is an unwritten rule that responsible fishermen strictly follow. A reception mat is not just an optional accessory, but a must for anyone who wants to protect the fish and enjoy successful games. Its role is to prevent the fish from being injured during taking out of the water, weighing or photographing.

Using a fishing landing mat shows not only professionalism, but also genuine passion for the sport. Whether you are an occasional fisherman or participate in top competitions, such a mattress must be part of your basic equipment!

Types of reception mattresses for fishing: what are those options

There are several types of fish reception mattresses, each designed for different needs:

  • The classic reception mattress – simple, light and easy to carry. It is the perfect choice for mobile fishermen, who travel a lot on the shore;
  • Mattress with side walls – prevents the fish from slipping and gives it extra safety. It is a very popular option for longer parties;
  • The bathtub type reception mattress – is the safest option, due to the high edges and rigid construction. Such a variant is especially recommended for large carp specimens;
  • Carp weighing mat – combines the function of protection with precise weighing, being ideal for those who want maximum efficiency.

By choosing such an accessory for carp fishing, you will be sure that the fish remains safe, regardless of the size or the conditions of the game!

How to choose a reception mattress for fishing

When choosing a reception mattress for fishing, it is good to take into account several factors:

  1. Size – the mattress must be large enough to be able to easily store large carp;
  2. The material – it must be soft, waterproof and easy to clean, to protect the scales and fins;
  3. Filling and thickness – these provide comfort and cushioning, reducing the risk of fish injury;
  4. Stability – in the bathtub models, the adjustable legs ensure optimal balance on any type of terrain;
  5. Transport and storage – many models come with a special case and folding system, so that it is easy to transport.

A correctly chosen fish reception mattress gives you the assurance that the fish is treated with respect and released in optimal conditions, every time!

Advantages of using a carp weighing mattress

A carp weighing mattress brings multiple benefits to any stationary angler:

  • protects the fish during weighing and shooting;
  • allows easy handling, without the risk of slipping;
  • respects the standards of sports competitions;
  • It is strong enough to support record-sized carp.

Bathtub models are considered very safe, due to their high edges and resistant materials. They provide extra stability, especially when the fish is agitated. In addition, a quality mattress, such as the ones on BigFish.ro, is a long-term investment: it is easy to clean, lasts over time and accompanies you on numerous fishing trips.

What size and thickness should the reception mattress be to protect the fish?

For good protection, the mattress must be large enough for the fish to be fully supported, without hanging the edge. The thickness matters to cushion the impact and not injure the scales or fins. Usually, sizes of ~110-130 cm in length and ~60-80 cm wide with thicknesses of a few cm are ideal.

What material should the reception mattress be made of?

Soft, waterproof, easy-to-clean materials that do not absorb much moisture are the most suitable. For example: treated PVC, synthetic materials with waterproof coating, dense foam with washable coating. Avoid rough materials or materials that can break easily. On bigfish.ro you can see PVC variants, matte beds, cradle mattresses, etc.

Is fish kept on the mattress for weighing? How to avoid damage?

Yes, but carefully. The mattress should be wet when you put the fish on it (so as not to remove the protective mucus). Do not leave the fish out of the water for a long time. Use a clean and stable scale so that the fish is not slippery or moving excessively. Mattresses with edged edges or "cradles" can help keep the fish from slipping. See  the weighing accessories category  for more products.

How to maintain a reception mattress?

After each use, rinse with clean water, without strong detergent; Let it dry naturally in the shade. Avoid strong sun exposure for long periods, as UV rays degrade synthetic materials. Store it rolled or folded, but not tightly forced at the edges. Periodically check that it has no cuts or areas where the material has thinned.

Whether you choose a classic reception mattress, a modern bathtub or a carp weighing mattress, this accessory is indispensable in the arsenal of any carp angler. Complete your equipment with a fishing reception mat and enjoy safe games, which at the same time respect the rules of sport fishing!
