Product Information
Full details
The Prologic C-Series Retainer & Weigh Sling XL is designed for serious carp anglers who prioritize fish safety and streamlined gear management. By combining a floating retainer and a weigh sling into one unit, it eliminates the stress of transferring fish between different pieces of equipment, ensuring a safer handling process. While the XL size offers significant room for larger catches at 120x55cm, users should be aware that the larger footprint requires a sufficiently sized unhooking mat for optimal fish care.

FAQs
Can this be used as a permanent keep-net?
No, this is a retainer and weigh sling designed for temporary fish recovery and weighing only. It is not intended for long-term confinement.
Does it come with a storage bag?
The product includes carry handles for transport and is made of fast-drying material, but a dedicated storage case is generally sold separately or provided by your specific retail kit.
Is the material safe for the fish's skin?
Yes, the sling is constructed from dark, fish-friendly soft mesh specifically chosen to protect the fish's delicate slime coat.
How do I secure the sling to the bank?
Use the locking rings on the zippers to attach a sturdy tether cord, which can then be tied to a bank stick or a secure point on the bank.
What is the primary difference between the standard and XL size?
The XL size provides an extended length of 120cm, which is better suited for the largest carp species compared to the standard model.
Troubleshooting
Sling appears unbalanced when weighing
Ensure the fish is positioned centrally in the sling and that the mesh is not caught on the zipper tracks.
Zipper feels stiff
Clean the zipper tracks of any grit or dried lake vegetation using a soft brush and fresh water.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the sling, ensure your unhooking mat is prepared before landing the fish. If using the retention feature, always attach a high-quality tether cord to the locking rings on the zippers and anchor it securely to a bank stick or bridge, ensuring the fish has enough water depth to remain comfortable and upright. After use, rinse the mesh thoroughly with lake water to remove any debris or scales. Allow the sling to dry completely in the shade before storage to prevent mildew and long-term fabric degradation. Avoid folding the sling while damp for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the mesh and zipper seams.
