Product Information
Full details
The Gardner Tackle Multi-Species Weigh Sling is designed for the mobile specimen angler who requires a balance between portability and fish safety. Its primary benefit is the combination of an ultra-compact design with high-durability, fish-friendly materials, making it an essential tool for protecting your catch during weighing sessions. One minor caveat to note is that because it is a lightweight, mesh-based sling, it is strictly intended for weighing purposes rather than long-term retention or holding of fish.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I keep a fish in this sling for long periods?
No, this product is designed solely for weighing fish. It is not intended for retaining fish in the water.
Does it come with a storage bag?
No, the sling is designed to be ultra-compact on its own and can be folded to fit directly into your existing luggage.
What is the maximum weight limit?
While it features double-stitched construction for strength, it is designed for typical specimen-sized fish; always ensure you are using it within the weight capacity of your specific scales.
Is the material safe for all species?
Yes, the super-soft mesh is designed to be gentle on the scales and protective coatings of various specimen fish species.
Why is it important to wet the sling before use?
Wetting the sling prevents the fabric from absorbing the fish's protective mucus layer and ensures a frictionless, safe environment for the fish.
Troubleshooting
Sling smells after several uses.
Thoroughly rinse with a mild, fish-safe antibacterial wash or a solution of water and white vinegar, then rinse again and air-dry completely.
Weight seems inaccurate during use.
Ensure the sling is hanging freely and not catching on any part of the landing net or tripod, and zero your scales with the wet sling attached before weighing the fish.
