The emergence of catch and release fishing across Europe over the last 15 years spawned a whole new category as the welfare of fish became a serious priority for anglers.
Hungarian tackle supplier Carp Zoom has been at the forefront of this enlightened approach towards the safe handling of fish with the introduction of a comprehensive range of products to ensure the health and safety of all fish before they are returned to the water.
Its product portfolio now includes carp mats, cradles, weigh slings and mouth disinfectants. Agnes Perecz, Carp Zoom’s Import/Export Manager, told Angling International: “Catch and release fishing was introduced because of environmental concerns about fish welfare and has led to stricter regulations and a stronger focus on fishing as a hobby rather than a food source. The fish care sector has grown considerably in recent years and remains an important category for the business.”
