Daiwa Prorex Boat Net

Daiwa Prorex Boat Net

As time goes on, the most staple of fishing tackle seems to get a hi-tech makeover in the continuing quest for ease of use and improved results. The humble net isn’t immune to improvement and there are solid reasons behind this. Fish care is an increasingly important priority for anglers of all kinds, with considerations ranging from protecting your catch so it recovers more quickly to ensuring that anglers don’t move contamination from site to site.

The Daiwa Prorex Boat Net is an example where the predator angler’s needs have been coupled with fish protection. It’s a deep and strong net intended for use on boats, especially when working with the kind of oversized specimens encountered when trolling. The net fabric itself is coated with a special silicone, providing a soft and pliable surface to minimise scale damage by preserving the fish’s mucous protection, and is ideal for keeping and returning your catch in the optimum condition. This coating prevents the absorption of odour and makes thorough cleaning of your net a breeze. Cleaner nets obviously mean less cross-contamination of disease and other problems such as algae on inland waters. The knotless mesh design is also one that promises to minimise the tangling of hooks and other terminal tackle.

While this net is thicker and stronger than many similar options, it still manages to be very lightweight and this is thanks to its milled aluminium construction that still manages to include a thicker-than-usual handle. This 1.2m long handle has a 70cm measure engraved on it, which is useful for the quick assessment of your catch in a competition situation, and is finished off with a comfortable EVA grip that comes with a hand loop for added security. Conveniently, this net also folds at the join between handle and head for space-saving storage and transportation.

It comes in two generous sizes, according to just how large your intended predator species will be, of either 80cm x 70cm or 100cm x 90cm. The large mesh size is ideal for using in faster-flowing waters, while the triangular form of the head makes handling and resting larger fish easier on both you and them. Daiwa have a range of Prorex nets available so feel free to have a look at the whole range if this isn’t the exact one for you.

Daiwa has over fifty years of experience of serving anglers all over the world and the Prorex range of predator fishing tackle is designed specifically to help when you’re seeking out and landing predator fish species, whether that’s on lakes and rivers, in the surf, or out at sea. This tackle is full of thoughtful innovation and comes with prices that are accessible to newcomers and the more experienced angler alike.
