Product Information
Full details
The RidgeMonkey ProCare Inflatable Unhooking Mat is designed for serious carp and specimen anglers who prioritize fish welfare during unhooking, weighing, and photography. It offers an excellent balance of heavy-duty protection through its thick padded base and portability thanks to its inflatable design, making it ideal for mobile anglers. While it provides superior security for fish, users should be aware that it requires a few minutes of setup time compared to traditional foam-only folding mats.

FAQs
Is the foot pump included with the mat?
Yes, the RidgeMonkey ProCare Inflatable Unhooking Mat comes with a dedicated foot pump for rapid inflation.
Can I use this on rocky ground?
The thick foam base is designed to protect fish from rocks and gravel, but it is always best practice to clear the area of large, sharp debris first.
How do I secure the mat on a steep bank?
Use the built-in corner pegging points to stake the mat firmly into the bank, ensuring it stays in place.
What is the best way to clean the mat?
Rinse with clean, fresh water and a mild detergent if necessary. Allow it to air dry completely before folding and storing.
Does it come with a storage bag?
Yes, it is designed to be compact and foldable, making it easy to store in the provided carrying solution.
Troubleshooting
Mat feels soft or loses firmness
Check the valve for debris and ensure it is screwed in tightly. Inspect the seams and material for small punctures.
Difficulty inflating with the foot pump
Verify the hose connection is airtight and that the pump nozzle is fully seated in the valve intake.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, lay the mat on flat ground and connect the included foot pump to the valve. Inflate until the side walls are firm and the base is stable. After use, open the valve fully to let the air out naturally before folding. Always dry the mat completely before packing it into its storage bag to prevent odors or mold growth. Inspect the base periodically for sharp debris that could compromise the fabric and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
