Just back from a carp fishing trip and want to keep your car, trailer, roof box or similar clean? Discover Starbaits' solution for transporting your landing net and sling to avoid the various inconveniences when returning from a session.

Carrying a landing net and/or wet sling

After a fishing session, one of the most common inconveniences for carp anglers is carrying a wet landing net and/or sling, which can release unwanted odours and liquids that can wet the rest of your equipment. The Pro Tec Eva Stinky Bag is an effective, practical and technical solution to this familiar problem. Made of waterproof material and designed for transporting wet equipment, it acts as an odor barrier while keeping the rest of your equipment clean by preventing the dispersion of liquids.

Technical specifications and dimensions.

  • The Pro Tec Eva Stinky Bag is made of waterproof EVA, a rigid, impermeable material that prevents water leakage and odor reflux.
  • With a length of 140 cm and a width of 30 cm, it has enough capacity to hold a landing net, a sling or two.
  • Thermo-welded seams guarantee a durable seal, with no weak points through which water or odors can escape.
  • The bottom is reinforced to withstand the abrasive surfaces (stones, sand, etc.) frequently encountered at the water's edge.
  • Roll-down closure and retaining clip (not zipper) for easy access to the interior, even with bulky equipment.
  • For transport, it features sturdy handles and a practical strap for easy carrying on the shoulder or in the hand.

Useful for carp fishing

  • Odor imprisonment: by enclosing the wet landing net or sling in a waterproof envelope like the Pro Tec Eva Stinky Bag, the risk of odors spreading into the vehicle or other luggage is greatly reduced.
  • Equipment protection : prevents moisture or liquids from touching the rest of the equipment.
  • Safe transport : thanks to its relative rigidity and reinforced bottom, the bag does not yield to small folds or other moderate stresses, protecting the equipment carried in addition to its main function.
  • Longevity : welded joints combined with high-quality materials ensure increased resistance, especially when regularly subjected to humidity, UV and friction.
  • Versatility : it can be used for landing nets, slings or any other equipment of the same size.

Practical tips

  • Pre-rinse : before placing the landing net, sling and/or other equipment heavily laden with mud, sand or other such deposits in the cover, rinse them briefly to avoid abrasive residues on the inner material.
  • Ventilation after use : empty the bag of any liquid and leave the opening open for a few moments on arrival to allow the bag to dry quickly.
  • Cleaning : a simple splash of clear water on the inside, followed by drying, is enough to preserve the EVA material.
  • Storage : do not store inside a closed vehicle during the day in direct sunlight. Excessive heat could deteriorate the materials over time.
