Brag Mat / Enviro Mat - Which is best

[FishOclock]

I have only recently joined AFO, this is my Virgin post so here goes. :silly:

After enquiring about the MBC, I decide to join on with AFO.

Unfortunatly I was unabble to attened on the W/end,

Sounds like all involved had a ball.

Book me in for next year.

My Question:- In regards to the Brag Mats / Enviro Mats

Is there any type that works better than others.

After the w/end comp there must be a heap of photos to show of.

Just interested to see if s certain type of mat is works best.

* Easy to see measurements in the photos

* Some have a nose board some dont ?? Is this easier to measure or make it to bulky to roll up..

* Easy to clean down, ect. ect.

OR

Is there there an avenue to look into for a AFO - Brag Mat.

Sponsors who support the MBC - or other AFO events could feature on the mat & have their photos taken when ever a fish is placed on the mat. Just a thought.

Or where can I get the best tpye from.??????

Any thoughts / suggestions taken on board.

Happy Fishing,

ANY TIMES A GOOD TIME TO GO FISHING - Its "FishOclock" time

Welcome the site FishOclock.

I like the NSW DPI brag mats which you can buy online here http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fisheries/recreational/saltwater/catch-and-release/mat

They're more accurate than a lot of the ones in the tackle shops and cheap as chips if you buy a pack of 5. Having a nose board definitely helps with measuring the fish and it's not that bulky.

Here's a pic with a fish

Thanks Very Much Tbox.

Agree, those ones are easy to read.- Thanks for the link.

decent price aswell -

Hopefully once I get one I will have some decent photos to load up.

Happy Fishing :cheer:

From memory - I believe competitors in the State of Origin last year got one of these mats for free.

At least I did, or maybe I just lifted it!!

Maybe you should come along this year and get one, great comp for getting to know everyone too.

Angus/Johnny could confirm what other freebies we might be getting, hint hint nudge nudge

Welcome on board Fishoclock

I've personally got the squidgies brag mat (or whatever they call them). The nose board does help speed up the process a little when trying to get an accurate measure.

And the 1 thing that I don't clean... is my brag mat. If anything, its just a rinse off in the water over the side of the boat, then rolled up and put to the side. I like building up character on my brag mat

BFC brag mat Shimano okay but found it was very reflective of flashes at nighttime, could have the same problem also with others

bit of dirt ,blood ,grime will make it less reflective .
