Nash Carp Care Easy Float Retainer Sling Camo
Ever had a carp escape during water shots? The Easy Float Retainer evolves Nash’s original Failsafe Retainer, turning from a secure retention sling into a floating corral for safer fish photography. If a carp isn’t cooperating, it can be lowered back into the open sling to settle before another attempt, which reduces stress and the risk of escape.
It needs no extra assembly to switch between retention mode and the open floating corral, so you transfer the fish between items as little as possible. A camo top panel reduces light penetration while a fish is retained, and the sling doubles as a weigh sling with reinforced stress points and a carp-shaped base.

Gerry’s Fishing Pro Tip: Fasten the locking toggle on the zip every time you retain a fish. It stops the zip working open on its own.
