Product Information

Full details

The Sonik Xtractor+ Recon Landing Net 42" is designed for anglers using shorter retractable butt carp rods, offering a full 42" net size with a compact 30" transport length. Its key benefit is the telescopic design of both the net arms and handle, allowing for versatile use and easy storage. A potential consideration is the spiked point on the handle, which requires careful handling when used for fish retention.

FAQs

What are the extended and transport lengths of the net?

The net has a full 42" size, and a transport length of only 30 inches.

What are the available handle lengths?

The handle can be used at three different lengths: 75cm, 145cm, and 195cm.

Does the handle have a feature for holding fish?

Yes, at its full length (195cm), the handle has a spiked point designed for temporary fish retention.

What is the mesh depth of the net?

The net has a generous depth of 95cm.

What material is the spreader block made from?

The spreader block is made from super strong forged aluminium with a skeleton design.

Is the mesh suitable for all types of fish?

The mesh is reinforced olive green with free-flowing hex mesh on the sides and a super soft base mesh, designed to be gentle on fish.

How is the reliability of the fittings ensured?

All fittings are both glued and pinned for ultimate reliability.

Troubleshooting

Net arms or handle won't extend or lock

Ensure there are no obstructions in the telescopic sections. Clean the sections and re-attempt extension, ensuring each section clicks firmly into place. Check for any bent or damaged parts.

Spreader block feels loose or difficult to assemble

Ensure the net arms are fully extended and properly aligned with the spreader block slots. Clear any debris from the spreader block and arm ends.

Mesh is torn or damaged

Minor tears can sometimes be repaired with a strong, waterproof thread. For significant damage, consider replacing the mesh if possible or the entire net.

Handle sections are stiff to retract

Clean the telescopic sections thoroughly and apply a light silicone-based lubricant to the internal surfaces. Avoid excessive force, which could cause damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compact transport length ideal for shorter rods
  • Versatile handle length adjustments
  • Durable construction with pinned and glued fittings
  • Fish-friendly mesh design
  • Integrated retention spike for temporary fish holding

Cons

  • Spiked retention point requires careful use
  • Telescopic mechanism may be a point of failure if not maintained
  • May be slightly heavier than non-telescopic alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Extend the telescopic net arms by gently pulling them outwards until they lock into place.
  2. Extend the telescopic handle to the desired length (75cm, 145cm, or 195cm) by pulling sections until they click securely.
  3. Ensure the spreader block is correctly positioned for easy arm insertion and secure locking.
  4. If using the spiked retention point, ensure it is firmly in place before attempting to secure a fish.

Compatibility:

This landing net is designed to complement shorter retractable butt carp rods, but its standard 3/8" stainless steel stud on the spreader block makes it compatible with most standard landing net handles and bank sticks.

Care:

  • After each use, rinse the net thoroughly with fresh water to remove any silt, salt, or debris.
  • Dry the net and handle completely before storing to prevent corrosion and material degradation.
  • Periodically check that all telescopic sections lock securely and that the spreader block is free from obstructions.
  • Inspect mesh for any tears or damage and repair promptly.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
