If you’re looking for replacement netting for a fishing or landing net, especially a thickened or durable option, here are some key points to consider:
1. Types of Replacement Netting:
- Nylon Netting: Lightweight, flexible, and resistant to abrasion. Good for general fishing.
- Rubber-Coated Netting: Protects fish slime and scales, reducing harm (ideal for catch-and-release).
- Polyethylene (PE) Netting: Strong, UV-resistant, and long-lasting for heavy-duty use.
- Knotless Netting: Prevents fish fin damage, commonly used in landing nets.
2. Features to Look For:
- Thickened Mesh: Ensures durability and prevents tearing.
- Tangle-Free Design: Helps avoid snags on hooks or fish fins.
- UV Resistance: Prolongs lifespan when exposed to sunlight.
- Easy Installation: Should fit standard or custom net frames.
3. Where to Buy Replacement Netting:
- Fishing Supply Stores (Bass Pro Shops, Cabela鈥檚, TackleDirect)
- Online Marketplaces (Amazon, eBay, Alibaba)
- Specialty Brands (Frabill, Beckman, Ranger Nets)
4. DIY Replacement Tips:
- Measure your net frame鈥檚 dimensions (depth, hoop size).
- Choose a mesh size appropriate for your target fish (smaller for panfish, larger for bass/catfish).
- Use strong, waterproof thread or cord for stitching.
