Carp Care Doesn't Have to be Expensive

When I started carp fishing the last thing I was thinking about was a landing mat. Luckily I saw some others fishing for carp at my local lake and they were using landing mats so I just emulated them.

The mats come at a variety of price points from $8 to $100 or more for a "carp cradle" that suspends the fish above the ground.

For the budget conscious here is a medium price range solution that should work well.

Available for about $30 or less from Big Carp Tackle
