NGT Landing Net Scoop Front Pan Net 60 cm 24＂ Coarse Carp Sea Fishing NET ONLY
James Miller The NGT Landing Net Scoop Front Pan Net (60 cm / 24") is a versatile landing net designed for coarse, carp, and sea fishing. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its features and suitability:
Key Features:
-
Size & Design:
- 60 cm (24") wide pan net with a scoop-front design for easy fish landing.
- Deep mesh bag prevents fish from escaping and reduces harm to scales/slime.
-
Mesh Material:
- Likely made from knotless, rubberized, or nylon mesh (common in NGT nets) for fish-friendly handling.
- Resistant to saltwater (if used for sea fishing) and abrasion.
-
Frame & Handle Attachment:
- "Net Only" version means it’s just the net head—no handle included.
- Designed to attach to a standard threaded landing net handle (check compatibility with your existing handle).
-
Versatility:
- Suitable for coarse fishing (bream, tench, etc.), carp fishing, and light sea fishing (smaller species).
- Not ideal for very large carp (over 20 lbs) or heavy-duty saltwater use unless specified as reinforced.
Pros & Cons:
✔ Pros:
- Lightweight and maneuverable.
- Fish-friendly mesh protects catch.
- Affordable (as a net-only option).
✖ Cons:
- No handle included (requires separate purchase).
- May lack durability for very large carp or harsh saltwater conditions.
Who Should Buy This?
- Anglers needing a replacement net head for their existing handle.
- Those targeting medium-sized coarse/carp fish or inshore species.
Alternatives:
- If you need a complete net (with handle), consider the NGT Landing Net System.
- For bigger carp, look for a 42"++ spreader block net.
Final Verdict: A solid budget-friendly net for general freshwater use, but ensure your handle fits and upgrade if targeting larger fish.
