JRC Defender Safety Weigh Sling<Carp Fish Care

Featuring Velcro barrow attachments to make transporting it to, from, and around the bank a breeze, this Safety Weigh Sling from the JRC Defender range of fish care products also comes with a waterproof carry bag with carry handle, making it ideal for the mobile angler fishing terrain that isn’t particularly barrow-friendly, and relying on a rucksack and their hands to transport all their gear, tackle, and equipment.

Crafted from fish-friendly 420D polyester, this safety sling features reinforced weigh bars, to ensure the fish remains securely in the sling while it is being weighed, and prevent any injuries from a strong, lively fish tipping the sling onto the bank while it’s thrashing around inside, and super strong weigh straps, so you can securely and safely lift that monster of a personal best up to see exactly how much you’ve gained in bragging rights. Fixed around the full perimeter for ultimate strength, the JRC Defender Safety Weigh Sling boasts zips at either end to make weighing and releasing even the liveliest of fish effortless, and as stress-free as possible for the fish.

Designed to offer easy weighing whilst also being quick drying, this weigh sling, like all JRC products, combines a concern for fish welfare with attention to the needs of anglers.  Numerous drainage holes in the base of the sling ensure that you get an accurate weight, as the sling is not waterlogged; concern over waterlogged slings resulting in an inaccurate weight have often been cited as a reason for anglers, particularly those actively involved in competitive angling, not using them, but with the attention to detail that is a feature of modern angling equipment design, this issue has been addressed by equipment manufacturers, who ensure that weighing slings have plenty of drainage, to ensure that water weight doesn’t distort the recorded weight, whilst also allowing the fish to remain completely wetted throughout the weighing process.
