Rubber mesh landing net for kayak and landbased
I have Berkley kayak landing net which I thought was good enough. Later on I realised it's too short and the net isn't deep enough. Especially on a kayak where I got rod length to reach the fish and my body obviously stay in one position.
The extended kayak model has a good length, but the net still seems a bit shallow. Cost more too.
Any recommendations? I'm willing to spend around $40 or less.
Something long enough on a yak and not too long/heavy for landbased.

Re: Rubber mesh landing net for kayak and landbased
All the nets I have come across so far have been not deep enough to my liking.
There's one I actually liked at tackle world which was deep enough and also quite light weight. It was sold as a squid net but was perfect for most things

Not too hard on the wrists? How does it go with hooks and things tangling in the mesh?purple5ive wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2019 6:37 pmThis is the one

Re: Rubber mesh landing net for kayak and landbased
or take the retractable snapper net and then cut down the handle length.
thats what Mazman has done .
Im using a stock environet and while it is great for the actual landing of fish, its a bit too much of drag while pedalling and gets in the way

There is always more to learn , fish to catch , places to see and friends to make.

Re: Rubber mesh landing net for kayak and landbased
havent got it yet, but after having a fiddle with it im pretty impressed, its lightweight and a good decent size. tangling wise i think it will be fine for anything other than small trebles which tangle pretty much in anything other than the large silicone nets4liters wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2019 6:57 pmNot too hard on the wrists?

Re: Rubber mesh landing net for kayak and landbased
what i am using now is this, with a different handle that can be adjusted, the actual net in the pic doesnt have a retractable handle as stated.
i retrofitted an older handle i had lying around from a net i dont use anymore

the mesh net on both these nets i have posted are almost 99% identical

Re: Rubber mesh landing net for kayak and landbased
I have this same net for tinny fishing. Mine is labeled as being black magic brand. Think I paid $25 for it on clearance. It's a top net for the price but the handle is a bit short for what you're thinking. The depth is great and it doesn't get caught up with hooks much at all. With a decent, longer handle I'd use this net a lot more. Nothing a Broom handle and gaffe tape cant fix!purple5ive wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2019 7:20 pmwhat i am using now is this, with a different handle that can be adjusted, the actual net in the pic doesnt have a retractable handle as stated.
