Product Information
Full details
The Greys Rubber-Skin Free Flow Specimen Net is designed for dedicated specimen anglers who require a robust, reliable landing tool for flowing water conditions. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-strength anodized alloy frame and a specialized rubber-coated, free-flow mesh that significantly reduces water drag, making it easier to maneuver and lift fish safely; however, prospective users should note that the specialized mesh design is optimized for flow and may be heavier than standard nylon nets.

FAQs
Is the mesh fish-friendly?
Yes, the rubber coating is gentle on the fish's slime coat and helps prevent scale damage compared to traditional abrasive nylon mesh.
Does this net fit standard landing net handles?
Yes, it uses a standard universal brass thread compatible with almost all modern coarse and specimen fishing handles.
Will the frame rust in saltwater?
While the brass thread resists oxidation, the alloy frame should be thoroughly rinsed with fresh water immediately after any saltwater exposure to prevent degradation.
What is the benefit of the D-section frame shape?
The D-section frame provides much higher torsional rigidity than a standard circular frame, preventing the net from flexing or deforming when scooping heavier fish.
Can I replace the mesh if it tears?
The triple-stitched seams are very durable, but if the mesh is damaged, you should contact the manufacturer or a professional tackle repair service for replacement options.
Troubleshooting
The net feels loose at the spreader block
Use a screwdriver to check and tighten the double-screw assembly holding the frame to the block.
Thread connection is difficult to attach to pole
Clean the brass thread of any grit or dried silt using a soft brush, then apply a tiny amount of silicone grease if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptionally durable D-section alloy construction
- Highly resistant to hook snagging due to rubber coating
- Brass threading prevents long-term corrosion
- Significantly reduces physical effort when landing fish in current
- Secure double-screwed spreader block assembly
Cons
- Heavier construction compared to ultra-light nylon nets
- Large mesh size may not be suitable for extremely small bait fish
- More substantial profile can be bulkier to transport
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, simply thread the brass attachment onto your preferred landing net pole until tight. Ensure the double screws at the spreader block remain firm; periodic inspection is recommended if you frequently collapse or transport the net.
Care instructions:
- Rinse the net thoroughly with fresh water after every session to remove debris and river minerals.
- Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to preserve the rubber coating integrity.
- Avoid leaning the frame against abrasive surfaces that could scratch the anodized coating.
