Landing nets and poles help bring fish safely to hand from a bank, platform or boat. A suitable net reduces stress on the hook and leader during the final stage of landing.
Consider frame width, mesh depth and mesh size. Larger fish need a roomier, stronger net, while lure anglers may prefer mesh that reduces hook tangles.
Shorter handles work well from boats and low banks, while longer poles help from high banks and platforms. The extended handle should remain sufficiently rigid.
Multi-piece construction saves transport space and easy-clean mesh simplifies maintenance after fishing.
