The different types oflanding nets
landing nets are essential fishing accessories. There are two main categories oflanding nets: landing nets fixed and landing nets telescopic. Fixed landing nets have a fixed handle and head size, while telescopic landing nets have a handle that can be adjusted in length and a folding head.
Fixed landing nets are stronger and lighter, but less practical to carry and store. Telescopic landing nets are more versatile and more compact, but they are heavier and sometimes more fragile.
The choice oflanding net depends mainly on how and where you fish. If you're fishing from a boat or float-tube, you'll need a fixed landing net with a short handle and a wide head, so you can grab fish quickly without having to bend over. If you're fishing from shore or wading, you'll need a telescopic landing net with a long handle and narrow head, so you can reach the fish without having to get too close.

The characteristics of a landing net
Today, landing nets are available at all price levels, from simple trout nets to large landing net pike nets.
When choosing your landing net fishing rod, you also need to take into account a number of features that influence its quality and effectiveness landing net:
- The material of thelanding net handle: it can be made of wood, metal or carbon. Wood is attractive and pleasant to the touch, but is sensitive to damp and impact. Metal is strong and resistant, but heavy and cold. Carbon is light and rigid, but more expensive and fragile. The length of the handle is an important factor to consider if you want to be comfortable in a float, on a boat or on board.
- The shape of the head:landing net can be round, oval, rectangular or triangular. The round shape offers great capacity, but is less manoeuvrable. The oval shape is a good compromise between capacity and manoeuvrability. The triangular shape is best suited to long, fine fish such as pike.
- Net mesh: it can be fine or wide, nylon or rubber. Fine mesh is more discreet and gentler on the fish, but is easily tangled with hooks. A wide-mesh landing net is easier to clean and dry, but causes more damage to the fish. Large mesh is used for sea fishing. Nylon is light and flexible, but retains water and odours. Rubber is heavy and rigid, but prevents snags and respects the fish's mucus.
- The depth of the net: this should be adapted to the size of the fish. A net that is too deep increases the risk of injury to the fish during handling. A net that is too short will not hold the fish properly.
