5 Things To Know

It opens flat to 120x80cm, giving room for carp, barbel and larger coarse fish.

It rolls down to 20x50cm for carrying on mobile and short sessions.

Drainage holes in the corners clear water when the sides are raised, and reinforced webbing handles aid controlled lifting.

Product Information

Compact roving and specimen sessions are where the Drennan Specialist Specimen Unhooking Mat makes most sense. It is built for anglers who want more protection than a basic flat mat, but still need something that rolls down small enough for mobile fishing.

The pull-cord design is the main trick. It starts as a flat padded mat, then draws up into a walled cradle shape when a fish needs more containment on the bank. Drennan uses tough 600D outer fabric with a fish-friendly waterproof inner and double-layered foam. That combination gives a wipe-clean contact surface, practical cushioning and enough durability for repeated bankside use.

Flat dimensions are 120cm x 80cm, with raised-side dimensions of 90cm x 50cm. Rolled size is listed at 20cm x 50cm, which keeps it realistic for rucksacks, roving bags and short sessions. Clips allow it to fasten onto Drennan Specialist luggage, and pegging points help keep it steady in exposed swims.

Drainage holes in the corners reduce water build-up when the sides are raised, and reinforced webbing handles help with controlled lifting during weighing, photography and careful fish return. For carp, barbel and larger coarse fish, it is a good middle ground between a simple mat and a bulkier framed cradle. The design especially suits anglers who travel light but still want credible raised-side fish protection.
