Fishing Landing Net
A fishing landing net is a tool used to secure fish caught during recreational or commercial fishing. It minimizes handling stress on the fish, particularly when practicing catch and release, and aids in safely bringing the fish aboard a boat or to shore.
Material
Landing nets are constructed from a variety of materials, each offering different properties:
- Frame:
- Aluminum: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and relatively inexpensive. Commonly used for freshwater fishing.
- Stainless Steel: Durable, strong, and highly corrosion-resistant, suitable for saltwater environments.
- Carbon Fiber: Extremely lightweight and strong, often used in high-end nets for delicate fish or extended use.
- Wood: Traditional material, offering good strength but requires maintenance to prevent rot.
- Mesh:
- Rubberized Mesh: Gentle on fish scales and fins, reducing damage. Preferred for catch and release. Available in varying mesh sizes.
- Nylon Mesh: Durable and affordable, but can be abrasive to fish.
- Knotless Mesh: Minimizes snagging of hooks and fins.
- Handle:
- Plastic/Composite: Lightweight and often telescopic for portability.
- Wood: Traditional, offering a comfortable grip.
- Metal: Durable, but can be heavier.
Purpose
- Fish Handling: Provides a safe way to lift fish out of the water without harming them.
- Catch and Release: Reduces stress and injury to fish being released back into the water.
- Securing Fish: Holds fish securely while removing hooks or taking measurements.
- Boat Protection: Prevents fish from damaging boat surfaces.
Function
The net's frame provides structural support, while the mesh forms the capturing surface. The handle allows the angler to maneuver the net and lift the fish. Rubberized or knotless mesh minimizes scale loss and fin damage. Some nets feature collapsible or telescopic handles for easy storage and transport.
Usage Scenarios
- Freshwater Fishing: Trout, bass, pike, salmon, etc. Nets are often smaller and made of aluminum.
- Saltwater Fishing: Snook, redfish, tarpon, tuna, etc. Nets are typically larger and constructed from stainless steel or carbon fiber.
- Fly Fishing: Nets are often smaller and designed for delicate handling of trout and salmon.
- Spearfishing: Larger nets are used to secure larger fish.
- Kayak/Canoe Fishing: Collapsible nets are ideal for limited space.
Common Types
- Standard Landing Nets: General-purpose nets with fixed-length handles.
- Collapsible Landing Nets: Telescopic handles for portability.
- Rubberized Landing Nets: Mesh coated with rubber to protect fish.
- Knotless Landing Nets: Mesh without knots to minimize snagging.
- Fly Fishing Nets: Smaller nets with delicate mesh and often wooden frames.
- Spearfishing Nets: Large nets with durable frames and mesh.
- Long Handle Landing Nets: Extended handles for reaching fish from boats or shore.
- Triangle Landing Nets: Triangular shape for efficient scooping.
- Hoop Landing Nets: Circular shape, common for trout and salmon fishing.
Fishing landing nets fall under the category of equipment used to catch or collect fish. They are typically constructed from textile materials or metal frames and are used in recreational or commercial fishing scenarios.
