Product Information
Full details
The Gardner Out-Reach Mesh Landing Net is designed for dedicated carp anglers who prioritize fish safety and retrieval efficiency. Its primary benefit is the specialized dual-mesh construction that minimizes drag in the water while ensuring a gentle, snag-free environment for the fish. While it offers excellent performance, the 42-inch frame size is specifically tailored for larger specimens, which may feel oversized for smaller casual fishing setups.

FAQs
Is this net suitable for smaller coarse fish?
While it can be used for smaller fish, it is specifically designed for 42-inch frames aimed at carp and larger specimens.
Does this include the handle and spreader block?
No, this is a replacement mesh only; the landing net arms, handle, and block must be purchased separately.
How deep is the mesh?
The mesh is 36 inches deep, providing a generous area for secure retention.
Can I wash this in a washing machine?
No, it is recommended to hand wash with cool water and a mild, fish-safe detergent to avoid damaging the mesh material.
What does the Free Flow side mean?
It refers to a lighter-weight mesh material on the sides of the net that lets water pass through more easily to reduce drag.
Troubleshooting
Net feels heavy during landing
Ensure you are using the side-sweeping motion through the water to allow the Free Flow sides to reduce resistance.
Mesh catching on arm joints
Check that the net is evenly distributed along the arms and that the mesh is not twisted around the spreader block.
Signs of fraying on the rim
Cease use immediately and inspect the multi-layer reinforcement; if the inner core is exposed, the net may need to be replaced to maintain fish safety.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior fish care due to the soft Hex-Mesh base
- Reduced drag in water speeds up landing time
- Highly durable reinforced rim construction
- Deep design prevents fish from jumping out
- Seamless belly prevents snagging
Cons
- 42-inch size may be overkill for smaller species
- Deep mesh can trap more water weight compared to shallow nets
- Requires specific net pole compatibility
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the net, slide your existing 42-inch landing net arms through the reinforced sleeves along the rim. Ensure the spreader block is securely locked. To maintain the life of the mesh, rinse the net thoroughly with fresh water after each session to remove silt, weed, and bait residue. Store the net in a dry, shaded area away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent UV degradation of the synthetic fibers. Always inspect the rim and spreader cord connections before each use to ensure the multi-layer stitching remains intact.
