FAQs
What is the total length of the net when assembled?
The total length, including the handle, is 6 feet (approximately 180cm).
Is the handle detachable?
No, this model features a one-piece 6ft handle permanently attached to the spreader block for maximum strength and reliability.
How deep is the mesh?
While the exact depth isn't specified, the mesh is designed to be deep enough to securely hold larger fish during the landing process.
Can I replace the mesh if it gets damaged?
The mesh is typically secured to the arms and spreader block. While minor repairs might be possible, replacing the entire mesh unit may require specialized tools or professional assistance.
Is this net suitable for saltwater fishing?
This net is primarily designed for freshwater angling. Prolonged exposure to saltwater may affect the materials over time.
What type of fish is this net designed for?
It is specifically designed for landing larger coarse fish, such as carp, with its 42-inch width and robust construction.
Troubleshooting
Net arms not locking into spreader block
Ensure the spreader block is clean and free of debris. Check for any damage to the slots where the arms should seat. Gently flex the arms to ensure they are aligned correctly before pushing them into the fully open position.
Mesh is snagged or torn
Carefully unhook any snags. For minor tears, a strong, fishing-specific thread can be used for repair. For significant damage, consider replacing the mesh. Always handle the mesh gently to avoid further damage.
Grip feels slippery
The Japanese shrink wrap grip is designed for wet conditions. If it feels excessively slippery, ensure it is clean and dry. If the texture has worn down over time, consider adding a thin layer of grip-enhancing tape designed for fishing rod handles.
Pros and Cons

- Comfortable and secure Japanese shrink wrap grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Wychwood Riot Landing Net comes pre-assembled. The handle is permanently attached to the spreader block, and the mesh is secured to the arms. To use, simply unfold the net arms from the spreader block until they lock into place. Ensure the arms are fully extended and seated correctly in the spreader block before attempting to land a fish.
Compatibility: This net is designed for freshwater angling. The 42-inch net width and 6ft handle make it suitable for carp fishing, pike fishing, and other coarse fishing applications where larger catches are expected. The ABS spreader block is a universal design and should be compatible with standard landing net poles if you ever needed to replace the handle (though this is unlikely given the one-piece design).
Care: After each use, rinse the net and handle thoroughly with fresh water to remove mud, debris, and any residual fish slime. Pay attention to cleaning the mesh to prevent odors and maintain its fish-friendly properties. Store the net in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prolong the life of the carbon materials and shrink wrap grip. Avoid storing the net with the mesh packed tightly against itself for extended periods, as this can trap moisture.
