FAQs
Is the latex mesh durable?
Yes, the latex mesh is designed for durability and is fish-friendly, offering good resistance to abrasion while being gentle on fish scales.
How do I fold the net?
To fold the net, you typically need to disengage the locking mechanism on the frame, which allows it to collapse inwards. Refer to the specific instructions that came with your net if unsure.
What is the benefit of the moulded soft-touch block?
The moulded soft-touch block provides a comfortable and secure grip, even when wet, improving handling and control when landing a fish.
Can this net be used for saltwater fishing?
Yes, but it is crucial to rinse the net thoroughly with fresh water after saltwater use to prevent corrosion and salt build-up on the mesh and frame.
What are the dimensions of the 26" model?
The '26"' refers to the approximate width of the net opening. The actual dimensions may vary slightly.
How does this compare to nets with standard mesh?
Latex mesh is generally considered more fish-friendly than knotty nylon mesh, reducing hook snags and being smoother on fish. It is also often more durable.
Troubleshooting
Net frame does not lock in the open position.
Ensure the frame is fully extended and check the joint for any obstructions. Gently clean the joint area and try again. If persistent, the locking mechanism may be damaged.
Mesh appears sticky or stiff.
Rinse the mesh thoroughly with fresh water. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Ensure it is dried properly after use.
Handle feels loose from the block.
Check if the handle is securely screwed into the moulded block. Some models may have a grub screw to tighten this connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Korum Power Folding Spoon Net is designed for immediate use. To unfold, simply extend the handle and ensure the net frame locks securely into its open position. The folding mechanism is usually a simple push or twist action to collapse.
Compatibility: This net is designed as a standalone landing net and typically attaches to a standard landing net pole thread. Ensure your existing handle or pole has a compatible thread.
Care: To maintain the integrity and lifespan of your net:
- Rinse: After each use, thoroughly rinse the latex mesh and frame with fresh water to remove salt, silt, or debris.
- Dry: Allow the net to air dry completely before folding and storing to prevent mildew or degradation of the mesh and frame.
- Store: Store the net in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Check: Periodically inspect the folding mechanism and frame for any signs of damage or wear. Clean the moulded block with a damp cloth if necessary.
