Product Information

Full details

The Preston Innovations Latex Hair Mesh Landing Net (20") is designed for dedicated match and coarse anglers who prioritize tackle protection and efficiency. Its primary benefit is the specialized fine-mesh material that prevents bait bands and hair rigs from passing through, while simultaneously minimizing the risk of small hooks becoming snagged during the landing process. While this model offers exceptional utility for hair-rigged setups and silver fish, it is worth noting that the specialized latex material may require slightly more care when storing compared to traditional nylon nets to maintain its structural integrity.

FAQs

Can I use this net for larger carp?

While the frame is strong, this 20-inch model is primarily designed for match fishing and silver fish; a larger, deeper landing net is recommended for specimen-sized carp.

Is the latex mesh quick-drying?

Latex does not absorb water like traditional fabric nets, meaning it stays relatively light and dries quickly once shaken out.

Will this net fit my current handle?

Yes, this net features a standard universal thread compatible with almost all modern landing net poles.

How do I prevent the mesh from getting tangled?

After use, ensure the mesh is spread out and not bunched up when storing it in your net bag.

Does the mesh size vary between the 16, 18, and 20-inch models?

All models in the Preston Innovations Latex Hair Mesh range utilize the same fine, anti-snag mesh technology regardless of the frame size.

Troubleshooting

The frame feels loose on the handle

Ensure the thread on the net block is free of grit or sand; clean with a damp cloth and tighten securely.

Mesh appears to be developing a slight odor

Wash the net with a mild anti-bacterial soap and fresh water, then ensure it is fully dried in the sun for a short period.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Prevents hair rigs and bait bands from passing through the mesh
Minimizes annoying hook snags during the landing process
Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during active sessions
Latex coating provides a more fish-friendly contact surface
Highly durable frame capable of handling repeated use

Cons

Latex material can be heavier when wet compared to thin nylon
Requires careful storage to prevent kinking the mesh
Size is specifically tailored to silver fish and match fishing rather than specimen carp

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the net, simply screw the frame block into any standard landing net handle with a universal thread. When using the net, avoid forcing it through heavy weeds, as this puts unnecessary strain on the mesh material.

For care and maintenance, rinse the net thoroughly with fresh water after each session to remove lake debris, algae, or residual bait additives. Allow the net to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area before packing it away in your carryall. Avoid storing the net in direct sunlight for extended periods, as UV exposure can degrade the latex coating over time. Check the frame periodically for any sharp edges or loose fittings to ensure it remains in top condition for your next outing.
