Carp Care Equipment – Keep Your Catch Safe and Healthy

At Carp Scene, we believe that carp care is one of the most important aspects of responsible angling. Proper fish care ensures that every carp you catch is safely unhooked, weighed, and released back into the water in excellent condition. With the right carp care equipment, you can protect the fish’s wellbeing, reduce injury, and help maintain healthy fisheries for the future.

Whether you’re an experienced angler or just starting out, using the correct unhooking mats, carp cradles, carp care kits, and weighing accessories is essential for safe handling. Explore our full range of fish-friendly carp care products designed to make every step — from landing to releasing — safe and stress-free for your catch.

Unhooking Mats

An unhooking mat is a must-have piece of carp care equipment. These padded mats provide a soft, protective surface to rest your carp on while unhooking, weighing, and photographing your catch. Our range of carp unhooking mats includes thick, durable, and easy-to-clean options that keep your fish safe and comfortable. Always ensure your mat is wet before use to protect the carp’s natural slime coating.

Carp Cradles

Carp fishing cradles offer extra security thanks to their raised padded sides, preventing carp from slipping off during unhooking or weighing. Ideal for lively fish or anglers who prefer more control, a carp cradle keeps your catch safe and calm. These are also great for anglers with limited mobility, as they sit higher off the ground for easier access. If you prefer a more lightweight, mobile setup, a traditional unhooking mat may suit you better.

Carp Care Kits & Accessories

Accidents can happen during unhooking, which is why every angler should carry a carp care kit. Products like the Korda Carp Care Kit include natural antibacterial treatments that help heal open wounds, damaged fins, or missing scales, ensuring your carp recovers quickly. Pair your kit with handy accessories like the Fox Collapsible Water Bucket to keep your unhooking mat wet and your carp hydrated while out of the water.

Fishing Scales & Weigh Slings

For accurate weighing and safe handling, our selection of fishing weigh slings and digital scales is built to make the process simple and fish-friendly. Use a fish-safe weigh sling made from soft, water-resistant materials to cradle your carp while weighing. Combine this with reliable fishing scales such as the Saber Digital Scales, which offer precise measurements up to 110lb/50kg.
