Product Information
Full details
The Zebco Ambition Round Keepnet is an essential tool for coarse and match anglers who prioritize fish welfare and long-term gear durability. Spanning 300cm in length, it offers significant capacity for extended sessions, though its robust carbon steel construction and 2100g weight mean it is better suited for anglers who prioritize structure over ultra-lightweight portability.

FAQs
Is this keepnet suitable for commercial carp fisheries?
Yes, the 3mm mesh and the 300cm length are ideal for most commercial venues where fish welfare is a priority.
Does it come with a bank stick adapter?
The net features a standard top ring compatible with most universal keepnet bank sticks, which are usually sold separately.
What is the benefit of the 3mm mesh?
The 3mm mesh is designed to be fine enough to prevent fish fins from getting caught while ensuring enough water flow to keep the fish oxygenated.
Can I use this in fast-flowing rivers?
While the carbon steel frame is rigid, it is primarily designed for match/coarse fishing in lakes and canals. Use in extremely heavy currents may put unnecessary strain on the frame.
How do I store this keepnet long-term?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the degradation of the mesh and Oxford fabric materials.
Troubleshooting
Net holding foul odors after use
Soak the net in a mild, fish-safe disinfectant solution and rinse thoroughly to remove organic buildup.
Difficulty in drying the net
Ensure the net is fully extended when hanging and use a fan or place in a breezy area to speed up the evaporation of the Oxford fabric parts.
Ring frame appears slightly bent
Gently manipulate the carbon steel back into shape manually; if the material is kinked, avoid sharp pressure to prevent fracturing the protective coating.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-durability construction resists wear from rocky banks

- Generous 300cm length is ideal for most commercial match venues
Cons
- Heavier than entry-level nylon models at 2100g

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the keepnet is straightforward: attach the top ring to a standard universal bank stick or keepnet arm. Ensure the net is fully submerged to keep fish cool and stress-free.
To ensure longevity:
- Cleaning: After each session, rinse the net thoroughly with fresh water to remove algae and fish slime.
- Drying: Hang the net vertically in a shaded, well-ventilated area to dry completely before packing it away to prevent mildew.
- Storage: Avoid storing the net while damp for extended periods in plastic bags.
- Inspection: Regularly check the carbon steel rings for any signs of corrosion or exposed edges that could snag fish fins.
