Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the sling, ensure the 3m retention cord is attached to a secure bankstick or anchor point before placing the fish inside. Always check that the zips are fully closed and secured with the safety clips. After use, rinse the sling thoroughly with fresh water to remove any lake debris or slime. Allow the nylon material to air dry completely in a shaded area away from direct sunlight before folding it into its supplied storage sleeve to prevent mold and material degradation.
