Trakker Sanctuary Corral V2

Trakker Sanctuary Corral V2: Professional In-Water Protection

At Gerry’s Fishing, we understand that managing large, powerful carp in the water is the safest way to ensure they remain calm and protected. The Trakker Sanctuary Corral V2 is the standard-sized version of this elite handling system, providing a secure, floating “safe zone” for fish during unhooking and photography.

Originally tested and proven with carp exceeding 80lb, the standard V2 is constructed from the same heavy-duty 0.7mm PVC found in premium inflatable boats. This handmade, cold-weld construction ensures the Corral remains rigid and stable even when a large fish thrashes. With integrated punched holes in the base, it maintains constant water circulation, keeping oxygen levels high for the fish while it recovers.

Enhanced Security & Temperature Control

The V2 model features a full PVC cover that completely encloses the Corral, secured with heavy-duty Velcro and locking straps to ensure no fish can jump out. A critical safety feature is the integrated pressure relief valve—this automatically bleeds off excess air pressure caused by expansion in the sun, preventing seam damage during hot summer sessions.

Where & How to Use the Sanctuary Corral V2

While the XL version is for the true giants of the water, the standard V2 is the versatile choice for most specimen anglers:

• In-Water Handling: Allows you to deal with fish safely in the water, which is increasingly becoming a mandatory requirement on many high-end French and UK carp fisheries.

• Self-Take Photography: Provides a stable environment to keep the fish submerged and safe while you position your camera or waders.

• Safe Recovery: The best tool for allowing a carp to “find its fins” after a long fight, particularly in warmer months when oxygen levels are lower in the margins.

• Mobile Specimen Fishing: At 120cm, it is more manageable for anglers who need to move gear frequently but still want the highest level of fish care.

Gerry’s Important Note: This product is designed strictly for short-term retention during handling, weighing, and photography. It should never be used as a permanent holding pen or for long-term storage.

Gerry’s Verdict: The standard V2 is the perfect size for the majority of UK anglers. It provides that essential “floating pontoon” stability that makes in-water photography so much easier and safer. The addition of the pressure relief valve on this version is a massive upgrade for longevity in the summer heat
