As the name suggests, the Ultra Protection Mat is the ideal unhooking mat for the most mindful. An extremely high density foam base will protect the largest of fish in any given environment. The padded walls are rigid yet serve their purpose exceptionally well by preventing fish from sliding out on to the surrounding substrate. A spacious outer pocket is the perfect place to store any forceps and carp care formulas to treat the mouth or body of the carp and will always be on hand should the need arise. Just like the Blax Cradle, this iteration also makes superb use of water drainage, wipe clean PVC and retaining over flap. With large durable carry handles, you can also carry your catch back to the water in safety and zip down either end of the unhooking mat for a smooth release. Despite its size, the Ultra Protection Mat has been cleverly designed to fold away and pack into its respective carry bag. This is the most expensive of the three systems, but arguably the best!
