Landing Nets Bring the Best to Your Fishing Trip

By Robert Cliford


There are many types of equipment associated with fishing. Landing nets are a staple found in the gear of nearly every angler. To make fishing a better experience, a measuring device is built into the net. The convenience is weighing and measuring the fish while it is in the net. There is never a need to touch the fish. Complete all of the measurements, remove the hook and release the fish back into the water. Basic building skills make this net easy to make for some. Unless you count time, it is inexpensive. The items for the net are based on the fishing involved. Otherwise, there is a variety to choose from in brick-and-mortar or online fishing store.

Wood and light metals like aluminum are ideal things to use for the frame and handle. Net strength depends on the materials used for the netting, such as nylon mesh. Convenient handles that slide up and down are ideal. Other features are frequently custom designed for the type of fishing desired. Everything down to how to carry the net has been addressed. Imagine the convenience of a one-handed release for the net, secured to your vest by a magnet. Regardless of where the fishing is taking place, the net is one less item to hold in your hand as it is until needed.

Have you ever wondered why landing nets are one of the most popular kinds? This net is kind to both the fish and the angler. It allows an easier reach as the fish approaches the boat and is ready to bring in. Netting the fish makes landing a quicker process. Although the fighting and playing out of the line adds to the excitement, it decreases the time you have to catch another. Using the net when fishing in a catch and release setting avoids harm to the fish once hooked. The leaping that usually results in the fish slipping off the hook is subdued and lessens the chance of a hook in the hand.

Just as a person has to learn to fish, there are many hours of training required to learn correct procedures. The one that got away should have been brought in for a picture. Fish seldom escape when a good netter is on duty. Fishing pals help the person with a fish on the line by manning the net. Anglers have a hard time doing both jobs at the same time. It takes practice to learn the proper moment to get the net. Two things proper handling achieves are safe delivery of the fish to the boat and hazard-free assistance to the angler.

Some of the things people learn when using landing nets include how to gauge the best time to lower it. A smooth flowing motion is the result of skill learned through practice of netting techniques. Avoid casting shadows when you are placing the net. If a portion of the rim is showing, the net will maneuver more easily. Guide the fish carefully to the net and in. The net is ready to draw towards the boat when the fish swims over the net's edge. Having someone familiar with the way a net is used makes the fishing expedition interesting and adding a great rod and reel intensifies the fun.
