Product Information
Full details
The Wychwood Agitator Catfish Mat is an essential tool for dedicated catfish anglers across the UK and Europe who require a reliable and safe solution for handling large catches. This high-quality unhooking mat offers substantial padding to ensure the protection of fish during the unhooking process; however, its generous 6ft 6-inch size requires adequate storage space in your vehicle or fishing trolley compared to standard-sized mats.

FAQs
Is the material safe for fish?

How long is the mat?
The Wychwood Agitator Catfish Mat is 6ft 6 inches long.
Does the mat come with pegs?
The product includes anchor points for pegs, but standard banksticks or ground pegs are typically sold separately.
Can I use this for smaller fish?
While designed for catfish, it can be used for other species, though its large size is best suited for big fish.
How do I store the mat?
Roll the mat tightly using the provided web fastening straps and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Surface debris sticking to the mat
Rinse the PVC surface with fresh water and wipe with a soft cloth after each session.
Mat sliding on wet grass
Use the 4 integrated anchor points with sturdy pegs to secure the corners to the ground.
Difficulty rolling the mat tightly
Ensure all air is pressed out of the internal padding as you roll to minimize the diameter of the bundle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the mat is straightforward: unbuckle the web straps, unroll the mat on a flat section of the bank, and utilize the corner anchor points to secure it if the wind is high. To maintain the mat, clean the surface with water after every use to remove mud or debris. Ensure the mat is completely dry before rolling it up and securing it with the web straps to prevent mold or material degradation during long-term storage. Avoid storing near sharp objects that could puncture the PVC outer layer.
