When you're in the heat of a coarse fishing match, your net really comes into play. Always at the ready to swoop under your rod or pole, and bring home the next fish smoothly and safely, there's a lot riding on an angler's net. For carp anglers, a good quality, reliable landing net, with soft, strong mesh, and a rigid handle, can make all the difference, both in terms of actually bringing a fish to the bank, rather than ending up with it being the classic “one that got away”, and in terms of protecting the fish you're catching, ensuring that they're calm, healthy, and vibrant when you return them to the water; seeing stunning, healthy fish up close is one of the joys of carp fishing, and something that anglers should be assured of enjoying for generations to come. A net bag both ensures your nets are protected from damage in storage and in transit, and keeps you from getting complaints from non-angling family members about water in the boot of the car – a win all round, really!
Designed with the entry-level angler in mind, and engineered to give the performance that experienced anglers from all disciplines demand and appreciate, the Advantabrand combines all of the passion and knowledge of the UK's premier fishing retailer, Angling Direct, a company where anglers serve anglers, from shop sales to marketing, back office support to customer service, with strikingly stylish, high performance bankside essentials, top rate tackle, and great gift ideas that represent excellent value for money, whatever you're looking for, and whatever your budget.
Made from durable, heavy duty 600D polyester, and presented in the classic red and black branding that makes Advanta products instantly recognisable on the bank, this net bag has a large capacity net compartment, featuring double zips for secure closure and complete protection of nets during transit, in storage, and on the bank. It also boasts a waterproof lining and base, meaning that your nets won't get wet while they're in the bag, on the bank, waiting to be called into service, and also that, when you're travelling home after an enjoyable, successful fishing session, your nets, now damp from repeated use in the swim, won't end up getting your clothing, sleeping bag, or boot of your car wet on the journey back. The lining and base are also reinforced, ensuring that nothing can snag or pierce the bag, and cause damage to your net. A reinforced net bag is a must on gravelly swims, where sharp stones can very easily cause damage that isn't noticed until you need the affected tackle – by which time, of course, it's too late.
Durable carry handles make the Advanta X5 Net Bag easy to lift on and off a barrow or tackle trolley, or into and out of a car boot, and also give you the flexibility of carrying it down to the swim without the aid of a tackle trolley, ideal if you're looking to keep your kit light, or if the bankside would be particularly difficult to navigate with a trolley or barrow.
