NGT 36″ Specimen Landing Net (Two-Tone Mesh with Metal V-Block & Stink Bag)

The NGT 36″ Specimen Landing Net is built for anglers who need a compact, dependable, and heavy-duty landing solution without paying top-end specimen prices. Designed specifically to target specimen fish like carp, pike, barbel, and large tench, this net delivers the perfect balance of manageable maneuverability and fish safety.

Featuring a ultra-tough metal spreader (V) block and dual-tone fish-friendly mesh, this net gives you complete confidence when scooping heavy fish over weed beds, high banks, or tight swim margins.

Why Choose the NGT 36″ Specimen Net?

Heavy-Duty Metal Spreader Block

Standard plastic or nylon spreader blocks often crack under pressure when scooping heavy fish or pulling through dense weed. The NGT 36″ features a solid machined metal V-block with standard brass thread, guaranteeing maximum rigidity and zero flex when lifting.

Fish-Friendly Two-Tone Mesh

The dual-tone black and green mesh isn’t just about sharp looks—it is crafted from soft, quick-drying material designed to protect slime coats and prevent fin splitting. The top band features a tight weave to prevent rig snagging, while the lower section promotes rapid water flow for swift scooping.

Includes Nylon Stink Bag

No one likes a wet, smelly net soaking into their car boot or carryall on the drive home. Supplied complete with a dedicated waterproof nylon stink bag, you can seal away damp mesh and keep your vehicle clean and odor-free.

Best Places & Situations to Use

• Commercial & Day Ticket Waters: Perfect for landing mid-to-double-figure carp without lugging around a bulky 42″ or 50″ net.

• Rivers & Barbel Swims: The 36″ size cuts through flowing river currents far easier than oversized carp nets while providing plenty of volume for big river barbel and chub.

• Deadbaiting & Lure Fishing for Pike: Compact enough for mobile pike anglers stalking along canal paths, drains, and lakes.

• Tight Swims & Overhanging Cover: Exceptional choice when fishing tight, tree-lined pegs where larger 42″ net arms get tangled in surrounding foliage.

💡 Gerry’s Pro Tip

“When landing big fish in shallow margins or high banks, never lift the fish out of the water using your net handle like a lever. Scooping the fish in, break down the arms from the metal V-block, roll the mesh down close to the fish, and lift vertically using the block and arms directly. This protects your handle thread and keeps the fish completely secure.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this landing net come with a handle?

No, this product includes the 36″ mesh, fiberglass arms, metal spreader block, and stink bag. It features a standard thread that screws into any standard universal landing net handle.

Is a 36″ net big enough for carp?

Yes! A 36″ specimen net is ideal for carp up to mid-20s with ease. If you are targeting 30lb+ upper-tier carp on massive venues, a 42″ or 50″ net gives extra margin, but for 90% of UK day-ticket venues and river applications, 36″ is the ideal size.

Will the metal spreader block rust?

No. The V-block is manufactured from corrosion-resistant anodized alloy to withstand wet weather and prolonged exposure to water.
