Inc. Generation 2 Floating Landing Net, Non-Snag for Wade, Fly & Kayak Fishing
James Miller The Inc. Generation 2 Floating Landing Net is a popular choice among anglers, especially for wade, fly, and kayak fishing, thanks to its non-snag design and buoyancy. Here’s a breakdown of its key features and benefits:
Key Features:
- Floating Design – Made from buoyant materials (often rubber or thermoplastic) to stay afloat if dropped in water, preventing loss.
- Non-Snag Rubber Mesh – The knotless, rubber-coated netting is gentle on fish and reduces hook tangling, making catch-and-release easier.
- Lightweight & Durable – Typically constructed from aluminum or composite materials for easy handling without sacrificing strength.
- Compact & Portable – Designed for easy attachment to wading belts, kayaks, or backpacks.
- Ergonomic Handle – Often features a short or extendable handle for convenience in tight spaces (like kayaks or streams).
- Fish-Friendly – The soft rubber mesh protects fish slime and scales, improving survival rates for released fish.
Best For:
- Fly Fishing – Gentle on delicate trout, bass, and other freshwater species.
- Kayak Fishing – Floats if dropped and fits well in tight spaces.
- Wade Fishing – Lightweight and easy to carry while moving through water.
- Saltwater Use (if corrosion-resistant) – Some models are saltwater-friendly.
Potential Considerations:
- Size Limitations – May not be ideal for very large fish (check net dimensions).
- Handle Length – Some anglers prefer longer handles for kayak/wading reach.
Alternatives (if unavailable):
- Frabill Conservation Net
- Fishpond Nomad Net
