Keepnets and mats support more careful fish handling by providing temporary in-water retention or a softer surface for unhooking and release preparation.
Which keepnet size should you choose?
Match size to the expected fish and catch quantity. Adequate length and diameter provide space, while strong rings help maintain the net shape.
Which mat is practical?
Choose a soft surface that is easy to wet and clean. Larger fish benefit from more surface area and better padding.
Care after fishing
Rinse the net and mat after use and allow them to dry thoroughly before storage.
