Fishing Nets for Safe and Successful Landing

A good fishing net is often the difference between just a bite and a fish safely in your hands. When the fish is already at the surface, you do not want to risk losing it at the last moment, and a well chosen landing net makes this final step calm and controlled.

At Jahikala you will find a wide selection of fishing nets for spinning, float fishing and boat fishing, with different hoop sizes, mesh types and handle lengths, so you can match the net to your fish species, venue and style. With Jahikala’s best prices and affordable options you can choose a net that protects the fish, is comfortable to use and lasts for many seasons.

Different Types of Fishing Nets and When to Use Them

Fishing nets are not all the same, and choosing the right type makes your life much easier. Shallow, fine mesh nets are great for smaller fish such as perch or trout, because they reduce tangles and protect delicate fins. Deeper, wider nets are better for bigger pike, zander or carp, giving the fish enough room so it does not bounce out at the rim.

Rubber coated or rubber mesh nets have become very popular, because hooks do not get stuck so easily, the mesh dries quickly and the slime layer on the fish stays in better condition, which is especially important if you practice catch and release. Telescopic or folding handles help when you fish from high banks, piers or from a boat where space is limited, while short, fixed handles are often enough on small streams and ponds.

At Jahikala you can choose from many shapes and sizes, round and triangular heads, shallow and deep bags, long and short handles, all with best prices and a wide range, so you can find exactly the net that fits your fishing.

How to Choose the Right Fishing Net?

How to choose the right fishing net size and shape? The right size and shape depend on the fish you target and where you fish. For perch and smaller zander from a low bank, a smaller hoop is enough and easier to handle, for large pike, carp or fishing from a higher quay you should choose a larger hoop and a deeper mesh, so the fish fits comfortably and you do not force it.

How to choose the right handle length? To choose the right handle length you should think about the distance between you and the water. Short handles are perfect for small lakes and boats where you net the fish close to you, medium or long telescopic handles help when you stand higher or need to reach beyond reeds and stones. At Jahikala you will find handles that are light enough for active spinning and strong enough for heavy fish.

Jahikala also offers nets with knotless mesh, fish friendly designs and strong frames, so even after many trips and big fish your landing net stays reliable. With a wide selection, best prices and fast delivery you can upgrade your net in time for your next session.

FAQ – Fishing Nets

Which fishing net should I choose for pike, perch and zander?

Which fishing net should I choose for pike, perch and zander? For perch and smaller fish you can choose a smaller, shallower net with finer mesh, for pike and bigger zander it is better to use a larger and deeper net that fully supports the fish, and if you often catch big predators you should pick a strong frame and rubber coated mesh from Jahikala’s range.

Is a rubber mesh net really better for the fish?

Is a rubber mesh net really better for the fish? Yes, a rubber or rubber coated mesh is better for the fish because it reduces damage to the slime layer, avoids cutting the fins and stops hooks from deep tangling, which means faster unhooking, less stress for the fish and more time with your lure in the water.

Do I need a long handle on my fishing net?

Do I need a long handle on my fishing net? A long handle is useful if you fish from high banks, piers or larger boats where the waterline is further away, while for small rivers, ponds and belly boat or kayak fishing a shorter handle is often enough and easier to manage, so you should choose the length that matches your typical spots, and Jahikala offers both compact and long reach options.
