Zeck Unhooking Mat

Zeck Unhooking Mat: Tough Unhooking Mat for Gentle Unhooking and Safe Release

A fish that is going back into the water needs a soft, wet surface on the bank. That is exactly what the Zeck Unhooking Mat was developed for. The mat is made of tarpaulin, a very tough material that is also used for lorry covers. Wet it before use and it forms a fish-friendly resting surface. The integrated padding reliably protects your catch from injury while you remove the hook. It was developed for predators but suits many other species just as well.

Foldable, Closable and Quickly Stowed

A clip and D-ring let you attach it to the outside of your rucksack or bag. With the high-quality YKK zips closed, you can carry a fish in it over short distances, for example on the way back to the water. Reinforced slots let excess water drain away. In the same way, the Zeck Unhooking Mat serves as a gentle weigh sling.

What Sets This Mat Apart

• Very hard-wearing tarpaulin with protective padding
• Small pack size thanks to the foldable construction
• Usable as a carrying aid and weigh sling when closed
• Water drainage through reinforced slots
• Printed tape measure for a quick length check

Two Sizes for Different Styles of Fishing

With two formats, the Zeck Predator Mat adapts to the way you fish. Size M measures 80 x 60 cm when laid out, weighs 600 g and packs down to 30 x 18 x 8 cm. It is aimed at mobile lure anglers who watch every gram and every centimetre in their kit. Laid diagonally, fish of up to around 90 cm in length also fit.

Size XXL offers a 140 x 100 cm surface on which even very large pike can be laid down safely. With a pack size of 50 x 28 x 8 cm and a weight of 1,600 g, it remains portable enough to be taken along not only for static fishing but also for lure fishing.

Tape Measure Printed on the Mat

Thanks to the printed Zeck tape measure, the mat doubles as a quick fish measure, so you can take a rough length straight away without moving your catch. As the material is flexible and can ripple, small deviations are possible. For exact readings, the Zeck Predator Ruler is a useful addition.
