NASH Scope OPS Auto-Inflate Unhooking Mat

Product highlights

The NASH Scope OPS Auto Inflate Unhooking Mat is a carp landing mat designed to provide maximum fish protection while remaining extremely compact and easy to transport. Thanks to its auto-inflating design, it deploys quickly at the fishing spot, making it an ideal companion for both short sessions and extended fishing campaigns.

Its double-density foam effectively absorbs shocks and minimizes the risk of injury during fish handling. The mattress maintains a stable and comfortable surface, even on uneven ground, allowing you to place the carp with confidence while unhooking, weighing and photographing.

The raised perimeter prevents the fish from sliding off the mat, further enhancing safety during unhooking, especially with lively or very heavy carp. Once the session is over, the mat folds easily and compresses by releasing the air, reducing bulk in the car or on the transport trolley.

Technical specifications

• Carrying shoulder strap provided for comfortable transport during discreet approaches or remote pegs.
• Foldable, compact design, ideal for mobile anglers who move between pegs or practice stalking.

Benefits and key features

This auto-inflating landing mat stands out for its excellent balance of fish comfort, safety and practicality. The combination of a generous thickness of double-density foam and a raised lip greatly reduces the risk of impacts and slips when the carp struggles. The fish stays well centered on the mat, which facilitates delicate handling such as hook removal or placing it in the weigh sling.

The auto-inflating technology, operated by an integrated valve, saves valuable time at the waterside: simply unroll the mat, open the valve and let it inflate. The angler can then focus on line and tackle preparation without wasting time manually inflating the mat.

Another major advantage is the presence of watertight welded seams that prevent water from entering the mattress. The mat does not soak up water and remains lighter, cleaner and more pleasant to handle. This also reduces unpleasant odors and makes drying between outings easier.

Finally, its ability to compress and be fixed to a backpack or trolley makes it perfectly suited to mobile carp anglers. Whether fishing on large lakes, urban canals or small gravel pits, this auto-inflating high-protection carp landing mat integrates easily into your setup without compromising fish safety.

Usage tips

Before the fish arrives, unroll the mat on as flat a surface as possible, open the valve and allow it to inflate for a few moments. For added comfort, you can lightly dampen the surface to better protect the fish's mucus, especially in hot weather.

Always place the mat close to the landing net to minimize the time the carp spends out of the water during transfer. When handling, keep the fish centered on the mat, kneel on the ground, and prepare all equipment (weigh sling, scales, camera) in advance to reduce time out of the water.

After use, rinse the mat with clean water to remove mud, scales and bait residues. Allow it to drain, then open the valve to release the air and compress it. Fold it carefully, fasten the straps and, if needed, attach it to your bag or use the shoulder strap for transport. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the materials long-term.
