Usage instructions and recommended setups
To fully benefit from the Basix Carp Cradle XL's potential, it's ideal to always set it up on a flat surface, away from direct sunlight to ensure optimal comfort for the fish. Before placing the carp, thoroughly wet the mat's surface to preserve the fish's protective layer. Use the lower loop to keep your weigh sling or net readily available. The transport handles also allow the mat to be fixed to the ground with pegs to prevent movement by the wind. After capture, quickly proceed with weighing and release to minimize stress on the fish. For even better care, equip yourself with a care kit like the Korda Basix Carp Care Kit.
