Landing Nets and Keep Nets for Safe and Responsible Fishing

Landing nets and keep nets belong together – one helps you land the fish safely, the other keeps it calm and protected until the end of the session. When your nets are well chosen, you lose fewer fish at the bank, treat them better and enjoy your fishing much more.

At Jahikala you will find a wide selection of landing nets and keep nets for rivers, lakes, canals and commercial waters. We focus on practical, angler-tested gear that really works on the bank, not just looks good in a picture.

Why a Good Net Setup Matters

When a big fish appears at the surface, everything depends on those last seconds. A strong, correctly sized landing net means you can guide the fish over the frame in one calm movement, without risky lifting on the line. A suitable keep net then keeps the fish fully under water, gives it space to rest and lets you weigh or photograph your catch without hurry.

Jahikala helps you put together a complete net setup that fits your fishing style, so your landing net, keep net, banksticks and accessories all work together, whether you are spinning for pike, feeder fishing for bream or match fishing on a canal.

Landing Nets – Control in the Final Seconds

A landing net must be practical, light enough to handle and strong enough to trust. At Jahikala you can choose shallow landing nets for quick perch and trout fishing, deeper rubber coated nets for pike, zander and carp, short handles for boat work, longer or telescopic handles for high banks and platforms.

Mesh options range from soft, fish-friendly rubber or knotless mesh to more robust versions for rocky shores. The idea is simple: a net that protects the fish, does not tangle hooks too badly and lasts more than one season. Because Jahikala offers both famous international brands and smaller specialist manufacturers, you can decide yourself whether you prefer premium models, mid-range best value options or very affordable but still reliable nets.

Keep Nets – Looking After Your Catch

A keep net is not just a bag in the water, it is your “hotel” for the fish during the session. The right length, frame shape and mesh keep fish deep enough, away from the surface and direct sunlight, with enough space to move. This matters in matches, friendly competitions and any time you want to show your catch only at the end.

Jahikala offers keep nets for carp fishing, classic silver fish fishing and mixed bags. You can choose round or square frames, different lengths for low and high banks, soft knotless mesh for maximum fish care or slightly firmer mesh for rivers with stones and shells. Again, we stock well known big brands and less known but very smart designs, so every angler can match function and price.

Well-Known and Lesser-Known Brands for Every Budget

In this category Jahikala carries all the usual famous names as well as many smaller, less known brands that often offer excellent value. The important thing is not the logo but how the net behaves in real fishing, how it fits in your holdall, how quickly it dries and how many seasons it survives.

That is why Jahikala keeps a wide range across several price levels. You can choose top-end competition gear, balanced mid-range nets with the best price-quality ratio, or simple and affordable models for occasional trips. Whatever you choose, you will find something that makes sense for your style, your waters and your budget.

FAQ – Landing Nets and Keep Nets

Do I really need both a landing net and a keep net?

Do I really need both a landing net and a keep net? If you only take the odd fish for food, a good landing net may be enough, but if you want to measure or weigh several fish together, fish matches or practise catch and release in a responsible way, a proper keep net together with a landing net is the safest and most fish-friendly solution.

How do I decide which size nets I need?

How do I decide which size nets I need? The size should match the fish you normally catch and the height of the bank, smaller nets are fine for perch and roach from a low bank, larger and deeper nets are safer for pike, zander and carp or for high quays and platforms, and Jahikala’s wide range lets you choose exactly what fits your fishing.

Are the cheaper brands in Jahikala still reliable?

Are the cheaper brands in Jahikala still reliable? Yes, Jahikala tests and selects even the more affordable brands so that they are strong enough, practical and safe for fish, giving you a real choice between premium names and wallet-friendly options without losing basic quality.
