When buying a new net, consider the netting material, mesh size, hoop size and shape, and handle length and material. For example, delicate fish will require a small micro-mesh net, while larger species require a larger net made of heavier mesh with inch-wide holes. Longer handles perform better on large bodies of water, while short handles are great for compact spaces.
What are the different types of fishing nets?
There are a variety of different nets including dip nets, landing nets, surrounding nets, and more. Landing nets feature a classic long handle and hoop and are commonly used to fish carp, catfish, and other fish of a similar size. Telescoping nets have handles that extend to multiple feet and a deep basket mesh for effective catching. Some fishing nets also have micro mesh nets for easy catch and release.
Why should I bring a net when I go fishing?
Fishing nets are both used to fish and to keep the fish safe after reeling in a catch. When fishing, it can help get the fish out of the water and into the boat as fast as possible.
