Product Information
Full details
The Zebco DB Series Latex Diamond Net is an ideal choice for mobile predator anglers who prioritize both durability and portability during their fishing excursions. This landing net offers a robust diamond-shaped frame and a fish-friendly 10mm rubber mesh, providing a secure way to land catch without causing harm to the fish or snagging hooks. While the telescopic design is excellent for storage and reaching fish from varied bank heights, users should note that the 1.1m maximum handle extension is best suited for bank or small boat use rather than high-ledge piers.

FAQs
Is this net safe for catch-and-release fishing?
Yes, the 10mm latex rubber mesh is designed to be fish-friendly, reducing trauma to the fish's protective slime coat and scales.
Can I replace the net mesh if it gets damaged?
The mesh is securely integrated into the frame, but for minor tears, standard fishing net repair twine can be used.
How long is the net when fully collapsed?
When fully collapsed, the handle section measures 0.60m, making it highly portable.
Will treble hooks get stuck in this mesh?
The rubberized latex material is resistant to hook penetration, making it much easier to untangle lures compared to traditional fiber nets.
Is the frame foldable?
The frame itself is a solid diamond construction and does not fold, but the handle telescopes for easier storage.
Troubleshooting
The handle does not stay extended
Ensure the spring-loaded button has fully clicked into one of the designated adjustment holes on the inner pole.
Mesh smells after fishing
Wash the net with a mild soap and water solution, rinse thoroughly, and let it air dry completely in a ventilated area.
Mechanism feels stiff
Check for dirt or sand buildup in the handle joints and rinse with clean water; apply a light silicone spray if movement remains restricted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To deploy the net, simply press the lock button on the handle collar to extend the shaft to your desired length; ensure the locking mechanism clicks securely into one of the pre-set holes to prevent slippage during use. After each fishing trip, rinse the net thoroughly with fresh water to remove any salt, algae, or debris, especially if you have been fishing in brackish or tidal waters. Store the net in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the latex coating from drying out or becoming brittle over time. Always collapse the handle fully before transporting to avoid accidental damage to the locking pin or the aluminum shaft.
