Rive Large EVA Keepnet Bag
For other angling disciplines, keepnets are riddled with controversy. Luckily, the match angler escapes all this and when you’re match fishing a keepnet is as important to you as your poles and bait. Allowing you to retain fish for a number of hours before the final weigh in, the sense of pride you experience after a hard day fishing when you bring up a net with a tidy collection of fish is second to none. However, transporting your keepnet to the bank can be nothing short of a nightmare – let alone trying to get it back home again. This is why Rive has manufactured this Large EVA Keepnet Bag, ensuring that your tackle transportation is blissful.
As the name suggests, the Rive Large EVA Keepnet Bag is manufactured from top quality EVA. A rubberlike material, EVA is completely waterproof. This is because one of the biggest difficulties faced by anglers when transporting their keepnets is finding a way of getting it back home again without completely soaking the boot of their car. After all, even in the height of summer a two, three, or even four metre long net is going to take at least an hour to begin to dry out – assuming the sun is out and the air is warm. In the colder conditions, you can triple this time and in the rain you might as well forget about it. Regardless of the weather, if you’re anything like us at the end of a long match fishing day, all you’ll want to do is pack up and go home. This EVA Keepnet Bag ensures that you can pack up as soon as your fish are back in their watery home, as the bag is fully sealed and completely waterproof – keeping your car boot bone dry.
However, the wet isn’t the only problem that you face when you’re travelling with a keepnet. It’s no secret that fish smell and a net that has been lying in your venue water for anything up to six hours will not only have absorbed all the aromas of the water but also collected the tang of fish too. You might just be temped to travel home with your windows open, in order to air out the car, but you’ll be amazed how easily the odours will become embedded in your upholstery. Luckily, Rive has thought of this too. The Rive Large EVA Keepnet Bag is also completely air tight when sealed. This means that all the nasty smells from your keepnet are trapped in the bag, keeping your car smelling sweet. Please note, it is advisable to clean out both your net and your bag upon your return home, as it will not do your net or your nose any good to leave it till the next time you’re looking to hit the bank.
The Rive Large EVA Keepnet Bag has dimensions of 48cm x 57cm x 16cm. This ensures that it is plenty large enough to house even your biggest keepnets, making this the perfect choice for the angler who likes to take a larger carp keepnet down to the bank when match fishing, ensuring that they can safely retain their catch should they manage to get a larger fish. The bag comes fitted with both carry handles and a shoulder strap. The carry handles are designed for transporting the bag over shorter distances, as well as for manoeuvring the bag in your car boot. The longer shoulder strap is ideal for longer distances, as well as for all those instances when you want to transport your gear in a hands-free manner.
