Product Information

Full details

The Avid Carp Captive Net Float is an essential accessory for specimen anglers who need to improve the maneuverability of their landing net in deep or weedy water. It is designed for any angler struggling with heavy, cumbersome nets during the final stage of a catch. While it provides excellent buoyancy and control, it is important to note that it adds a small amount of bulk to your handle, which may require adjustment if you prefer a completely minimalist setup.

FAQs

Will this fit a thick carbon net handle?

Yes, the Avid Captive Net Float is designed with a flexible internal geometry that accommodates most standard and thick-walled landing net handles.

Do I need tools to attach it?

No tools are required. The float is designed for simple, tool-free installation directly onto the handle.

Can I leave the float on the handle during transport?

Yes, it is perfectly fine to leave the float attached while transporting your net, provided it does not interfere with your carry case size.

Does it affect the weight of the landing net?

The material is highly buoyant EVA foam, which adds negligible weight to your overall setup while providing significant functional benefits.

What is the primary purpose of the retention band?

The band keeps the net mesh tight against the pole, preventing it from snagging on bottom weed or debris when you are maneuvering the net through the water.

Troubleshooting

Float slides down the handle during use

Ensure the landing net handle is dry before installation and slide the float firmly into position; if it continues to move, ensure no debris is between the float and the handle.

Net mesh snags despite using the retention band

Check that the retention band is positioned correctly at the base of the mesh and not too loose; adjust the fold of the mesh to ensure no loops are hanging below the band.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compatible with almost any landing net handle
  • Extremely buoyant for easy fish netting
  • Secure attachment prevents the float from sliding
  • Helps keep net mesh off the lake bed
  • Lightweight and durable construction

Cons

  • Adds minor bulk to the net handle
  • May require extra care when sliding through tight bankside foliage
  • Fixed position may need slight adjustment based on net head weight

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply align the groove on the interior of the float with your landing net handle and slide it to your preferred position near the spreader block. Ensure the material is snug to prevent shifting during use.

Regarding compatibility, the foam's flexible design allows it to grip a wide range of handle diameters. After a session, ensure you rinse the float with fresh water to remove any lake silt or salt, which can degrade EVA foam over time. Store it in a dry, cool place and avoid leaving it in direct, high-intensity sunlight for extended periods when not in use to maintain the integrity of the foam.
