Pike Landing Nets are specially designed nets made for safely landing large predatory fish like pike, which are known for their size, power, and sharp teeth. These nets are built tougher and deeper than standard nets to handle the weight and length of such species without harming them.
🐊 Key Features of Pike Landing Nets:
🧱 Extra Strong Frame
Made from reinforced aluminum or carbon, strong enough to support heavy fish without bending.
Often comes with a spread block or reinforced Y-section for added stability.
🕸 Extra Deep Netting
Deep mesh bags (often 80cm or more) to fully envelop large pike, preventing injury and making unhooking easier.
Flat or soft mesh bottoms to protect the fish’s slime coat and reduce tangles.
🧵 Fish-Friendly Mesh
Usually rubber-coated or knotless mesh to prevent gill or fin damage.
Some models use quick-dry materials — useful if you’re moving between waters.
📏 Large Hoop Size
Common hoop sizes: 36" to 50" (90cm to 127cm) — large enough to accommodate trophy pike.
Wide enough for pike, zander, or even medium-sized catfish.
🔁 Telescopic or Folding Handle
Many pike nets come with a telescopic or folding handle for easy transport.
Handle length varies: typically 1.5m to 3m — longer handles help when fishing from high banks or boats.
