Product Information
Full details
The Korda Spring Bow Net (50-inch) is a premium landing net designed for serious anglers who demand stiffness, weight reduction, and superior handling during the landing process. Featuring a reverse taper carbon handle and a specialized JAG-engineered spreader block, this net excels in providing a balanced, lightweight experience that allows it to float independently on the water surface. While its advanced carbon fiber construction offers industry-leading performance, users should exercise care when navigating through dense marginal reeds or heavy debris to preserve the integrity of the specialized Hexmesh material.

FAQs
Do I need to buy separate net floats for the 50-inch version?
No, the ultra-light carbon fiber construction is designed to provide natural buoyancy, allowing the net to float on its own.
Can I replace the mesh on this net?
Yes, the Hexmesh is replaceable, though you should use genuine Korda parts to maintain the fit and performance of the 50-inch frame.
What is the benefit of the reverse taper handle?
The taper shifts weight distribution, making the net feel lighter in the hand while increasing the stiffness near the head for better control.
Is the spreader block compatible with other net arms?
The JAG-engineered block is designed specifically for the Spring Bow series to ensure an optimal 91-degree arm angle.
How should I transport the net?
Use the included Korda Dark Kamo two-pocket sleeve, which keeps the handle and arms separated for organized storage.
Is the 50-inch size too big for smaller carp?
While larger, the 50-inch size is versatile and highly beneficial if you decide to fish venues with large fish, as it provides a larger 'target' area for landing.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty inserting arms into the spreader block
Check that the arms are fully aligned and that no silt or debris has entered the spreader block channels.
Net feels less buoyant than expected
Ensure the Hexmesh is fully rinsed of heavy silt/mud, which can add significant weight and reduce floatation.
Arm ends snagging on mesh during assembly
Ensure the rounded anodized ends are properly seated; if the mesh is catching, check that the arm is not bent at an improper angle.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptionally lightweight carbon construction
- Floats on the water surface without extra attachments
- Balanced handle design reduces wrist fatigue

- Included premium carry sleeve
Cons
- Requires careful handling in dense snags
- Premium price point reflecting specialized materials
- Large 50-inch frame size may be overkill for smaller venues
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To assemble the net, gently slide the net arms into the JAG-engineered spreader block until secure, then attach the heavy-duty cord to the tensioning point. When disassembling, always ensure the anodized ends are pulled cleanly from the mesh pockets to avoid unnecessary stress on the Hexmesh.
Maintenance Tips:
- Cleaning: Always rinse the mesh with fresh water after use, especially if used in salt or brackish conditions, to prevent grit accumulation.
- Storage: Store the net in the provided Dark Kamo sleeve, ensuring it is completely dry to prevent mold growth on the cord.
- Inspection: Periodically check the spreader block bolts for tightness and inspect the carbon handle for deep scratches that could indicate structural fatigue.
