Description
Designed specifically for modern match and commercial fishery requirements, the Daiwa Tournament Keepnet 2m is an ultra-durable, fish-friendly keepnet engineered for maximum efficiency on the bank. Built to comply with strict fishery rules regarding net lengths and multi-net setups, this compact 2m edition features a specialized oblong top ring that allows multiple keepnets to sit comfortably side-by-side on a single seatbox accessory bar or bankstick setup.
Constructed using full-length micro mesh fabric, the net provides ultimate protection for delicate scaled species such as carp, F1s, bream, and silverfish by preventing fin and barbel catch. The lower three rings are reinforced with metal edging to provide essential durability against abrasive concrete bankings, gravel bottoms, and heavy fishery platforms. Finished with a heavy-duty angle lock, pull-through weight handles, and stake-out D-rings, this net is built for total stability and fast, safe fish handling.

Key Features & Benefits
-
Oblong Space-Saving Top Ring: Specially shaped to allow three or four keepnets to be positioned closely together in front of your seatbox—ideal for strict commercial match rules requiring silverfish and carp separation.
-
Full-Length Micro Mesh: Ultra-soft, quick-drying mesh ensures complete safety for fish scales and fins while allowing maximum water flow and oxygenation.
-
Metal-Edged Bottom Rings: Shields the lower sections of the net from abrasion when resting on rough concrete, gravel margins, or wooden staging.
-
Ultra-Secure Angle Lock: Solid metal lock mechanism allows precise adjustment at any angle, keeping the top ring rigid and open for fast, hassle-free fish placement.
-
Internal Pull-Through Handles: Simplifies the weighing-in process by allowing you to easily pull the lower rings through the top frame without stressing the mesh or fish.
Where & How to Use
-
Commercial Match Fisheries: Perfect for strict commercial venues where multiple keepnets are mandated to split heavy catches of carp, F1s, and silverfish.
-
Tight Bankside Swims & Platforms: The compact 2m length prevents excess netting from bunching up in shallow margins or high wooden platforms.
-
Canal & River Silverfish Matches: Ideal compact option for targeting silvers, perch, and roach where deep water anchoring isn’t required.
Pro Tip
Positioning & Peg Stability: When setting up multiple 2m Tournament nets, mount them using cross-bar accessory arms attached to your seatbox legs. Ensure you extend the bottom rings fully into the water and secure the stake-out D-rings to the bank using banksticks or net weights. This keeps the mesh fully taut, maximizing water volume inside the net to keep fish healthy and stress-free throughout the match.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the micro mesh material accepted on all commercial fisheries?
A: Yes. Full micro mesh is widely recognized across UK fisheries as the safest material for keepnets because it prevents dorsal fins and barbels from snagging in the weave.
Q: Why choose the 2m version over the longer 2.5m or 3m models?
A: The 2m version is specifically designed to fit multi-net setups in tight swims and shallow margins without excess mesh billowing in the water, making it far easier to fit 3 or 4 nets across the front of a seatbox.
Q: How do the pull-through handles help during weigh-ins?
A: The internal handles on the bottom sections allow you to collapse the net upward, drawing the fish toward the top ring cleanly and effortlessly into your weigh sling without needing to drag the entire net across the ground.
