Product Information
Full details
The Solar SP Net Retainer Storage Sleeve is an essential organizational tool for dedicated anglers who need to transport wet gear without compromising the interior of their vehicle or the cleanliness of their barrow. Designed to accommodate up to two landing nets and two weigh slings, this sleeve provides a reliable, waterproof barrier that keeps dampness contained after a session. While it excels at preventing leaks and mess, users should note that the sleeve requires proper air drying between uses to prevent odor buildup, as its waterproof nature traps moisture inside.

FAQs
How many nets can this hold?
The sleeve is designed to hold up to two landing nets and two weigh slings simultaneously.
Is the sleeve material machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash the sleeve with a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the waterproof integrity of the seams.
Will this fit a 50-inch landing net?
Yes, the sleeve accommodates standard-sized landing nets provided the arms are detached and packed flat.
Can I put dry items in here too?
While you can, the sleeve is specifically designed for wet items, so it is best kept separate from your dry tackle to avoid cross-contamination of moisture.
Does it have a shoulder strap?
The product is designed for compact storage within a barrow or vehicle and typically relies on its slim profile for easy handling rather than a dedicated strap.
Troubleshooting
Unpleasant odor developing inside the sleeve
Wash the interior with a mild detergent and ensure the sleeve is fully turned inside out to dry completely in the sun.
Difficulty inserting a large landing net frame
Ensure the landing net arms are fully retracted and the spreader block is positioned at the bottom of the sleeve to minimize the width profile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the sleeve is straightforward: simply slide your folded nets or slings into the opening. To ensure the longevity of the product, always wipe away excess debris or heavy silt before inserting gear.
Regarding care, because the sleeve is 100% waterproof, it traps moisture effectively. It is highly recommended to invert the sleeve or leave it open in a well-ventilated area after arriving home to allow both the sleeve and your gear to dry out completely. Do not leave damp nets inside the sleeve for extended periods, as this can encourage mildew growth on your fishing equipment. To clean the exterior, simply rinse with fresh water and allow to air dry.
