Product Information

Full details

The Wychwood Epic Tactical 42" Landing Net is designed for serious carp anglers who require a blend of structural rigidity and refined aesthetics. Its primary benefit is the high-grade 1k Toray carbon construction, which provides exceptional strength-to-weight performance for landing large fish. One caveat to note is that the two-piece handle design requires extra caution to ensure the joints remain free of grit, which can otherwise affect the smooth breakdown and assembly process over time.

FAQs

Is the mesh safe for large carp?

Yes, the Tactical DPM camo mesh is specifically designed to be carp-safe, utilizing soft materials that protect the fish's scales and slime coat.

Can the handle be used with other net heads?

The handle features a standard thread that is compatible with most universal net heads, though it is optimized for the supplied Wychwood 42" frame.

What should I do if the handle gets grit in the joint?

Gently clean the joint with a damp cloth and ensure it is completely dry before reassembling. Avoid using lubricants like grease, which can attract more dirt.

Does the net float come off?

Yes, the net float is removable, allowing you to choose whether to use it based on your specific fishing conditions.

What is the total length of the handle?

The handle is a two-piece design totaling 42 inches in spread, providing an excellent reach for standard angling scenarios.

Is the sink bag waterproof?

The stink bag is designed to contain moisture and odors, making it ideal for transport, though it is intended primarily for keeping your vehicle clean.

Troubleshooting

Spreader block arms are difficult to insert

Check the block for dried silt or grit; clean with a brush and fresh water to ensure a smooth fit.

Handle sections are stuck together

Do not use excessive force. Place the handle in a cool, dry environment for a few hours and gently twist rather than pulling.

Net mesh snagging during transport

Ensure the net-safe clip is correctly engaged to secure the excess mesh against the handle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight yet rigid 1k carbon construction
  • Carp-safe DPM camo mesh material
  • Professional, minimalist aesthetic
  • Includes essential accessories like the float and stink bag
  • Excellent grip handle for wet conditions

Cons

  • Two-piece handle requires periodic cleaning at the spigot
  • 42-inch frame size is large for tight, overgrown swims
  • Replacement mesh may be specific to the Tactical line

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the net, first join the two-piece handle by aligning the spigot and pressing firmly. Slide the 3k carbon arms into the aluminium spreader block until they are fully seated. Once the net is ready, slide the net float over the handle and toward the spreader block.

Care instructions are vital for longevity. After every session, ensure the net is rinsed with fresh water to remove silt, weed, and lake-borne debris, especially from the spreader block and the handle joints. Always dry the mesh completely before storing it inside the provided Tactical drawstring stink bag to prevent mold and unpleasant odors. Periodically inspect the carbon arms for any hairline stress fractures, particularly after netting heavy fish in snaggy areas.
