How To Choose A Landing Net For Saltwater Fishing

How To Choose A Landing Net For Saltwater Fishing

Season 3 Episode 42 Published 5 years, 2 months ago
Description

“What is the best landing net for saltwater fishing?” And “DO I even need a landing net for saltwater fishing?” I got both of these questions recently so I thought I’d dedicate todays episode to giving my 2 cents.  Today we start part 1 of a 2 part series on landing nets. First, I am going to go over the attributes of a landing net that are important to me and why those same attributes may be things you want to consider.  With this in mind, I describe and even say by name the net I consider to be the perfect landing net for me.   Here are some of the things I consider when looking at a net:

  1. How big of a net can I fit in my boat?
  2. Could I get a bigger net in my boat if it folded?
  3. Does the Handle Telescope?
  4. What is the net material?  Which material is the best on the fish?
  5. Is it strong enough to lift the fish I am trying (or hoping) to catch?
  6. Is it made for saltwater?

With all this in mind, we go down the retail path of a net and I show you exactly which one I prefer and why.

A landing net is a tool that I always keep in my boat. It is a great way to get fish in quickly, which in return leads to a better survival rate when we release fish. A landing net is a great way to release fish as well without even taking them out of the water. In this episode, I go over two of my favorite nets, the Frabill Power Stow and the Trophy Haul. We discuss the things that I like about these nets for certain situations and what size and length will work best for you. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast to be notified when next week’s episode goes live, where we will be discussing how to use these nets.

Next week we will discuss the tips and techniques to use your landing net for the most success with getting your fish in the boat.
