Welcome to the Gerry’s Fishing Net Bag department. Every coarse angler knows the struggle: a successful day on the bank leads to a car that smells like a damp keepnet for the next week. In 2026, that problem is officially a thing of the past. Modern net bags are now engineered with 100% Waterproof Welded EVA and airtight zippers, ensuring that moisture and odours are sealed permanently inside the bag until you reach home.
At Gerry’s, we stock the UK’s most trusted brands, including Preston Innovations, Guru, Daiwa, Matrix, and Drennan. Whether you need a slimline single bag for a natural venue landing net or a “Monster” triple-net bag for commercial match circuit success, our range provides the ultimate protection for your vehicle and your tackle.
While traditional PVC and fabric bags still exist, EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) has become the industry standard for 2026.
Seamless Construction: Unlike stitched bags, EVA bags use heat-welded seams. This means there are no needle holes for water to leak through.
Non-Absorbent: EVA does not absorb fish slime or water, making it incredibly easy to hose down and dry in seconds.
Airtight Zips: The latest models from Guru (Fusion) and Preston (Supera X) feature heavy-duty, rubberized zips that create a near-hermetic seal.
Designed for the pleasure angler or those fishing natural venues where only one keepnet is required. These are thin and easy to stack against a seatbox.
Top Picks: Guru Fusion Mini, Preston Competition EVA.
Capacity: 1 Keepnet + 2 Landing Nets.
The choice for commercial match anglers who may be required to use three or four keepnets to comply with fishery weight limits. These often feature an external pocket for side trays or riddles.
Top Picks: Preston Supera X EVA Net Bag, Matrix Horizon X Multi-Net.
Capacity: Up to 4 Keepnets + multiple landing nets + XL Side Tray.
A lighter alternative for specialist anglers or those who only use a landing net. These are designed to keep a wet landing net away from your dry luggage without the bulk of a full carryall.
| Model | Capacity | Dimensions (H x W x D) | Material | Key Feature |
| Preston Supera X EVA | 4 Keepnets | 61 x 65 x 26 cm | 1.5mm EVA | Fits XL Venta-Lite Side Tray |
| Guru Fusion MK2 | 3+ Keepnets | 60 x 21 x 55 cm | Heavy Duty EVA | Extra Strong Moulded Base |
| Matrix Ethos Large | 3 Keepnets | 60 x 67 x 15 cm | Welded PVC/EVA | High-Visibility Accents |
| Daiwa Matchman | 2 Keepnets | 57 x 51 x 27 cm | Reinforced PVC | Budget-Friendly / Durable |
| Drennan Specialist | 1-2 Nets | 58 x 48 x 10 cm | 600D / PVC | Compact for Mobile Anglers |
Some modern bags, like the MAP EVA Net Bag, feature a unique screw-cap drainage hole at the base. This allows you to stand the bag up in your garden and drain out the dirty water without ever opening the top zip—keeping the mess entirely contained.
When fully loaded with wet nets, a bag can weigh upwards of 10kg. Look for models with Detachable Padded Shoulder Straps and Interlocking Handles. This makes loading your barrow or carrying the bag to the “scales” much more manageable.
The best net bags of 2026 now include a “dry” external pocket. This is specifically designed to house your Venta-Lite Side Tray or Groundbait Riddles, keeping your hardware separate from your soggy mesh.
A: Even the best bag will smell if you leave wet nets inside for days. Always remove your nets as soon as you get home and hang them to dry. Rinse the inside of the EVA bag with fresh water and leave it open to air out.
A: Check the width! The Preston Supera X is specifically designed to be wider (65cm) to accommodate the largest side trays on the market. Most standard bags are only 60cm wide.
A: Generally, they are the same thing. However, a dedicated “Keepnet Bag” is usually larger (square/rectangular) to accommodate the frames of a 2.5m+ keepnet, whereas a landing net bag might be smaller or spoon-shaped.
A: In 2026, most premium brands use high-grade plastic or treated alloy zips. However, we always recommend wiping zips down if you fish on brackish rivers or near the coast to prevent salt build-up.
As a cornerstone of the North West angling community for over 40 years, we’ve seen the evolution of net storage from bin bags to high-tech EVA.
Huge Showroom: See the bags in person at our Morecambe superstore.
Price Match: We guarantee the best prices on Preston, Guru, and Matrix.
Expert Shipping: We ship our net bags in oversized boxes to ensure the EVA isn’t “crushed” or permanently creased during transit
