Landing Nets, Meshes, Unhooking Mats

Landing Nets, Nets, and Mats for Feeder Fishing

Safe Landing and Handling of Fish

Equipment for landing and storing fish should match the fishing method, the size of expected specimens, and the fishery regulations. A landing net facilitates the end of the fight, a net allows temporary storage of fish during competitions, and a mat provides a clean, soft surface for unhooking larger catches.

Components of a Complete Landing Net

The subcategory landing net frames includes various rim sizes, depths, and types of mesh. The frame must be connected to an element from the landing net handles group, whose length and stiffness allow reaching the fish without excessive bending. Thread compatibility is usually easy to achieve, but the weight of a large frame may require a stronger handle.

Storage and Unhooking

In the fishing nets for fish storage group, selection is based on length, rim diameter, and competition rules. The net should be securely fastened and fully submerged. Separate fishing mats are useful for fish that cannot be safely unhooked directly over the landing net frame; before use, they should be moistened and placed away from sharp objects.
