Product Information

Full details

The Carp Life Eclipse Camo Elite Retention Sling is an essential tool for UK carp anglers who prioritize fish care, safety, and convenience. Designed to handle fish up to 50lb, this sling features a fish-friendly mesh that ensures rapid drainage while keeping the catch secure during weighing and temporary retention. While it offers premium build quality, users should note that the integrated foam bars increase its overall footprint compared to soft-sided, non-buoyant weighing slings.

FAQs

What is the maximum fish weight this sling can handle?

The sling is designed to safely and comfortably handle carp up to 50lb.

Can I store the sling in the provided sleeve while it is wet?

Yes, the sleeve features a roll-top closure and a PVC backing specifically designed to hold a wet sling without leaking in your vehicle.

How long is the provided retaining cord?

The sling comes with a 5-meter long retaining cord stored in a dedicated external pocket.

Are the metal hoops on the weighing straps fixed?

Yes, the weighing straps feature fixed metal hoops to ensure consistent and accurate balance during the weighing process.

Does the sling come with anything to protect the foam bars?

The foam bars are enclosed in durable material and include reinforced ends specifically to prevent the bars from penetrating the fabric.

Troubleshooting

Zip feels stiff or sticks during operation

Check for debris or grit in the zip teeth and rinse with clean water. You can apply a light silicone lubricant if the issue persists.

Glow-in-the-dark logo is not visible

The glow-in-the-dark material needs to 'charge' by being exposed to light; ensure your headtorch beam hits the logo for a few seconds before use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent fish protection with soft-mesh material
Glow-in-the-dark logos make night-time retrieval simple
Comes with a waterproof PVC sleeve for clean storage
Highly durable construction with reinforced stress points
Reliable weighing system using fixed metal hoops

Cons

The rigid foam bars make it bulkier to pack than standard slings
Requires careful cleaning to prevent scent buildup in the mesh
Not suitable for extremely large specimens exceeding 50lb

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the sling is straightforward. Ensure the 5-meter retaining cord is attached to a secure bankstick or anchor point before placing the fish inside. Always verify the zips are fully closed and the clips engaged if you intend to retain the fish for a short period.

For care, always rinse the mesh thoroughly with lake water after use to remove debris and fish slime. The provided PVC-backed sleeve is designed to store the sling even when damp; however, it is best practice to air-dry the sling fully at home to prevent odors and fabric degradation. Avoid folding the sling in ways that crush the foam bars over extended storage periods.
