NuFish Shorty Keepnet 2.0mtr

NuFish Shorty Keepnet 2.0m – High-Impact Commercial Match Net

Commercial match fishing has evolved rapidly, with venue rules regularly requiring anglers to run multiple keepnets to split their catches and protect fish stocks. The NuFish Shorty Keepnet 2.0m is a next-generation containment system engineered precisely for this modern style of high-weight angling. Designed to be stronger, lighter, and significantly more compact than traditional nets, its streamlined 2-meter length ensures that running three or four nets won’t clutter your peg or crowd your footplate station.

This net is packed with rugged, angler-centric features built to withstand the brutal wear-and-tear of stacking heavy bags of commercial carp and F1 hybrids. The top frame measures a generous 40cm x 50cm to allow for easy, high-speed unhooking and transfer directly from your landing net, tapering down to compact 35cm x 45cm internal rings that nest beautifully together on a single tool bar. Constructed from hardwearing, carp-friendly micro-mesh and reinforced with heavy-duty 8mm structural rings, the Shorty 2.0m is built for maximum durability, longevity, and ultimate fish safety.

Where & How to Use the NuFish Shorty 2.0m

• Multi-Net Match Configurations: The absolute number-one choice for commercial matches with strict 50lb or 60lb net limits. The short 2-meter length allows you to position up to four nets side-by-side on a single seatbox accessory bar, right under your feet for rapid, ergonomic fish deployment.

• Shallow Margin & Platform Setups: Perfect for fishing off modern wooden platforms or shallow, steep-sloping margins where a traditional, long 3-meter net would bunch up redundantly on the lake bed, trapping fish in shallow, deoxygenated water.

• Fast-Paced F1 Bagging: The oversized top ring acts as a massive target, allowing you to slide fish straight from your landing net into the keepnet in one clean, continuous motion without risking lost fish on the frame edge.

Pro Tip from the Gerry’s Fishing Team

Stacking multiple keepnets closely together on a tool bar is highly efficient, but it puts immense mechanical stress on the bottom corners of the nets as they rub against concrete banks, gravel platforms, or each other under the weight of a heavy catch.

NuFish has solved this by molding heavy-duty rubber protectors directly onto the underside corners of the lower rings. When setting up your peg, always angle your nets so that the rubber boots absorb the direct contact with the ground. Additionally, take advantage of the hook-resistant top section: when speed-fishing with a hair-rigged banded pellet or bayonet on a short method feeder line, you can safely drop the fish right into the mouth of the net without any fear of your loose hook or feeder tangling in the top mesh fabric, saving you vital minutes during an intense feeding response.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a 2-meter net over a traditional 3-meter net?

Traditional 3-meter nets were designed for natural venues where you needed extra length to reach past shallow margins or drop down steep river banks. On modern commercial fisheries, long nets are a hindrance; they clutter your peg, take up too much room on your barrow, and drag along the lake bed. The 2-meter Shorty provides the exact same volume of usable space for the fish without the redundant, messy slack fabric trailing out into your swim.

Will my match hooks get caught in the top ring fabric?

No. NuFish has deliberately wrapped the entire top section of the net in a tight, slick, weave-free material that hooks simply cannot penetrate or snag into. This completely eliminates the nightmare of having a live rig get stuck in the net mesh while you are trying to quickly unhook a fish.

Is the mesh fully approved for strict commercial fishery rules?

Yes, absolutely. The net is manufactured using an ultra-soft, dense micro-mesh that is fully compliant with all major commercial fishery guidelines across the UK and Europe. The soft fabric ensures that fish cannot strip their protective slime layers or trap their fins or spines in the holes.

How does the angle tilt mechanism hold up under heavy weight?

The net features a commercial-grade, multi-position locking tilt mechanism with a standard universal thread. It locks down rock-solid with a simple twist, ensuring that even when the top ring is subjected to the weight of a heavy landing net full of fish resting on it, the frame will not slip or drop out of position.
