Product Information

Full details

The Preston Innovations Match Landing Net is designed specifically for match anglers who target F1s and silverfish, offering a lightweight solution that excels in high-frequency catch scenarios. Its primary benefit is its exceptional maneuverability, allowing for quick netting with long handles; however, users should note that the specialized mesh is optimized for finer hooks and may require extra care when removing deep-set barbs.

FAQs

Is this net safe for fish?

Yes, the fine mesh base is specifically designed to be soft and protective for smaller fish like silverfish and F1s.

Can I use this for larger carp?

This net is designed for F1 and silverfish. It is not recommended for larger, specimen-sized carp as the frame size and mesh are optimized for smaller species.

Does it fit all standard handles?

Yes, the net features a universal thread compatible with all standard landing net poles.

How do I maintain the mesh?

Rinse with fresh water after every session and let it air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.

Why does it have two different mesh types?

The base is fine to protect the fish, while the sides are wide-meshed to allow water to pass through, reducing drag during the netting process.

Troubleshooting

Net feels heavy or drags in the water

Ensure you are moving the net at a slight angle to utilize the wide-mesh sides; pulling it flat through the water increases resistance.

Hooks getting caught in the mesh

While the net is designed to minimize tangles, ensure you are using barbless or micro-barbed hooks as recommended for match rules to allow for smoother release.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight design for easier handling
  • Flow-through side mesh reduces drag in the water
  • Gentle base material protects delicate fish
  • Reduces tangling issues with hair rigs

Cons

  • Not suitable for large specimen-sized carp
  • Mesh requires careful handling to avoid snagging on sharp objects
  • Specific to match-style fishing applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of the net, ensure the spreader block connection is tightened securely to your landing net handle pole. This net is compatible with any standard British-thread landing net handle. For care, always rinse the net in clean, fresh water after each session to remove lake debris, slime, and potential pollutants. Avoid storing the net while damp in a confined, unventilated space, as this can degrade the mesh material over time. Allow it to air dry completely in the shade to prevent UV damage to the netting material.
