NGT 36″ Specimen Landing Net

Land your next big carp or pike with total confidence using the NGT 36″ Specimen Landing Net. Designed specifically for specimen anglers who require dependability without the premium price tag, this robust landing net combines structural strength with fish-friendly performance.

At the heart of the setup is a heavy-duty metal spreader (V) block, engineered to absorb the stress of scooping heavy fish in flowing or weed-choked waters. The smart black and green two-tone mesh is soft on fish scales and slime coats while providing optimal water flow during the net sweep. Complete with a dedicated nylon stink bag, it keeps slime and damp odors safely sealed away from the rest of your kit during travel.

Key Features & Highlights

• Generous 36″ Specimen Size: Provides ample depth and width to safely scoop and hold double-figure carp, northern pike, and large tench.

• Heavy-Duty Metal Spreader Block: High-strength metal V-block construction resists flex and failure under heavy loads, ensuring long-term bankside durability.

• Fish-Friendly Two-Tone Mesh: Soft, dual-color (black/green) weave cushions the fish, protecting scales, fins, and slime layers while gliding smoothly through the water column.

• Universal Thread Connection: Standard screw thread on the spreader block fits virtually all UK landing net handles, landing poles, and extension arms.

• Included Nylon Stink Bag: Comes supplied with a dedicated nylon sleeve to seal in wet mesh, mud, and fish odours inside your car or carryall.

Pro Tip from Gerry’s Fishing

When netting large specimen fish in weed-heavy swims, avoid lifting the net straight up by the handle after scooping. Instead, once the fish is inside the mesh, collapse the net arms out of the metal V-block and roll the mesh down around the arms. Lift the rolled net and fish directly by the block/arms into your unhooking mat—this prevents immense strain on your handle and guarantees your net block will last for seasons to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this landing net fit my existing landing net handle?

Yes. The metal V-block is fitted with a standard universal thread that works seamlessly with standard 1-piece, 2-piece, and telescopic landing net poles on the market.

Is the mesh size suitable for pike and treble hooks?

The soft mesh is designed to balance fish protection with water drainage. While designed primarily as a specimen carp and general predator net, we recommend taking care when unhooking pike with unbarbed or semi-barbed treble hooks to avoid tangling inside the weave.

How do I store the net after a wet session?

Rinse any excess mud or lake weed off the mesh in clean water before packing it into the included nylon stink bag. Once home, hang the net up to dry completely in an airy space before long-term storage to prevent mildew buildup
