RAPALA WEIGH AND RELEASE MAT

Rapala Weigh & Release Mat

The Rapala Weigh & Release Mat is the ultimate fish care accessory for anglers who value responsible catch-and-release fishing. Designed to safely measure, weigh, and release your catch, this premium mat provides a secure, fish-friendly surface that minimises handling and helps protect the fish’s natural slime coating.

Capable of accommodating fish up to 125cm in length, the Rapala Weigh & Release Mat is ideal for everything from inshore sportfish through to larger freshwater and offshore species. Whether you’re photographing a trophy catch, recording measurements, or weighing your fish before release, this mat helps reduce stress and improve post-release survival.

Constructed from rugged, fish-friendly PVC, the mat is designed to withstand years of use in demanding marine environments while remaining gentle on your catch. Additional PVC mesh panels at each end help securely contain the fish during weighing while allowing excess water to drain away, reducing unnecessary weight and making handling easier.

Heavy-duty reinforced carry handles provide excellent strength when lifting and weighing larger fish, giving anglers confidence that the mat will comfortably support heavy catches. Once the job is done, the mat folds completely flat, making it easy to store in a boat hatch, vehicle, tackle bag, or garage without taking up valuable space.

Perfect for recreational anglers, tournament competitors, and anyone committed to sustainable fishing practices, the Rapala Weigh & Release Mat is an essential addition to every serious fishing setup.
