Handle wood types differ slightly in weight. Maple and birch are heavier, while black walnut and cherry are lighter. Though the difference is just a few ounces, many anglers prefer the lightest option for ease of use.

The ideal net depends on your fishing style. For larger fish, opt for a net with a big hoop. For smaller streams or rivers where fish average 14" or less, a lightweight, small-hooped net is perfect. Some anglers favor short nets, while others prefer extended reach options carried in a belt or holster. Having a net for every scenario is often the best approach!

Every net we craft is one of a kind. Variations in wood shade, grain pattern, and character ensure that your net is truly unique and distinct from online images.

While we work hard to meet demand, crafting nets isn't our full-time job. We aim to keep all styles in stock across various wood types, but availability may vary. Check back often as we frequently restock. Thank you for your interest!

Selecting a net bag color is all about personal preference. Clear bags are a favorite but may discolor in tannin-rich waters common in the East. Black bags provide a striking contrast to our wooden nets. While some think clear bags are less visible to fish, once the fish spots you or your boat, the bag's color matters less.
