Coarse Fishing Landing Nets: essential for a fish-friendly catch
Catching coarse fish is of course done with respect for the fish. A good Landing Net is therefore indispensable at the waterside, especially when you expect larger specimens such as bream or carp. By landing the fish with a suitable net, you prevent damage to the slime layer or fins and make it easier for yourself when unhooking.
Which Landing Net for which coarse fish?
The choice of your Coarse Fishing Landing Net depends on the species you are targeting. For roach and smaller fish, a small net with a diameter of about 40 cm is often sufficient. But if you regularly encounter bream, tench or smaller carp, it is better to choose a larger net of at least 60 cm. Do you mainly fish for larger carp? Then a real carp Landing Net of 42 inches or larger is recommended, with a soft fine mesh that optimally protects the fish's body.
Importance of a sturdy Landing Net handle
A good Landing Net is only as strong as the handle you use to operate it. Especially with larger nets and heavier fish, it is important to use a robust Landing Net handle. It must not only be able to carry the weight of the fish, but also be easy to handle on the bank or in the current. Handles come in different lengths, telescopic or multi-part, so you can always set the right working distance.
Fine mesh and fish-friendly material
A fine-meshed, soft net structure is important for the protection of the fish. Especially in match fishing or if you release your catches, you do not want to cause any damage. Coated nets are handy because they stink less quickly and are easier to clean, while soft mesh is the most fish-friendly.
