Fishcare on the move. At Gerrys Fishing, we know that for the roving angler, every second countsbut never at the expense of the fish. The Korum Camo Fast Mat is a brilliant innovation that bridges the gap between bulky, protective cradles and lightweight, transportable mats. Its designed for the specialist who wants to pop up a high-walled unhooking station in seconds, record their catch, and get back to the hunt.

Featuring a clever pop-up frame, this mat untwists from its compact state and is ready for action almost instantly. The camo version doesnt just look the part; its built from a soft-touch, fish-friendly material with a 5,000mm hydrostatic head (waterproof rating), ensuring its both protective and super quick to dry. With an upgraded 5cm padded mattress, your catch remains safely off the ground even on the most uneven bankside terrain.

Pro Tip from Gerrys Fishing

The Dry Pack Trick: Because the inner mattress is fully waterproof and removable, you can use the outer frame as a wet storage bag on your way home. If your landing net is soaked, slide it into the frame before folding it up. The 5,000mm waterproof material will help keep the moisture away from your other gear. Just remember to air everything out properly once youre home to keep it fresh for the next session!

Examples of Where to Use

• Roving Barbel & Chub Fishing: The lightweight 650g build makes it a dream for walking miles of riverbank where a heavy cradle would be a burden.

• Canal & Urban Street Fishing: Its compact footprint fits perfectly onto narrow towpaths while providing high-walled security to prevent fish from flopping onto the concrete.

• Short Session Carp Fishing: Ideal for the after-work angler who wants to travel light but needs the peace of mind that a walled mat provides for larger fish.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I clean the mat?

Since the material is 5,000mm waterproof and quick-drying, a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth or a quick rinse with a bucket of lake water is usually enough. For a deeper clean, you can remove the mattress and hand-wash the outer skin with a mild, fish-safe disinfectant.

Does it come with a carry bag?

The Fast Mat is its own carry bag! It twists into a circular shape (similar to a pop-up tent) and is held together by its own integrated straps.

Will it fit a 20lb+ fish?

Yes. With 90cm of length and 40cm of width, it is more than capable of handling large specimen Pike, Barbel, and most UK-sized Carp.

Can it be pegged down in the wind?

While the Fast Mat is primarily designed for mobile use, its shape and the weight of the mattress make it quite stable. If youre fishing in a gale, you can easily use your banksticks or luggage to secure it in place
