Rubber Coated Floating Fishing Net for

A rubber coated floating fishing net is the correct choice for catch-and-release fishing because rubber mesh removes the two biggest problems with traditional nylon net bags: scale removal and hook tangling. Nylon mesh abrades fish slime and scales during the landing process, which directly increases post-release mortality on fish that appear healthy when they swim away. Rubber mesh is smooth against fish surfaces and treble hooks release from it quickly without requiring five minutes of untangling while a fish thrashes in the net.

Floating Design and Foldable Format for Kayak and Bank Fishing

The floating construction is the safety net (literally) for kayak fishing — if you drop the net overboard at the wrong moment, it floats for recovery rather than sinking to the bottom of the lake. The foldable compact design collapses to a fraction of its deployed size for storage in a kayak hatch, tackle bag, or truck seat without the awkward-to-store full-size net that gets in the way on small boats.

• Rubber mesh coating protects fish scales, fins, and slime coat during landing
• Treble hooks release from rubber mesh quickly without tangling — faster release for the fish
• Floats when dropped overboard — safe for kayak and boat fishing without a leash
• Foldable compact design stores in a kayak hatch, tackle bag, or under a boat seat
• Appropriate for bass, trout, steelhead, salmon, and most freshwater and coastal species

For catch-and-release anglers who want to handle fish properly, rubber mesh is the material standard — and the floating construction makes this net one of the few you can use on a kayak without anxiety every time you deploy it near the gunwale.
