Product Information
Full details
The Matrix F1 Compact Keepnet is an essential tool for coarse anglers who prioritize both fish safety and efficient gear management during multi-net setups. It is perfect for those who need a durable, reliable mesh for smaller species or F1 carp, though its 2.0-meter length may be too short for high-bank venues where more depth is required.

FAQs
Is this net suitable for large carp?
This net is designed primarily for F1s and smaller coarse species. For large specimen carp, a larger diameter keepnet is recommended.
Does it come with a bank stick?
No, the package includes the keepnet only. You will need a standard bank stick or keepnet arm to mount it.
How do I clean the mesh?
Simply rinse it in the lake or with a hose after use, and hang it to dry in the shade.
Can I use this for river fishing?
It is designed for commercial fisheries; its 2.0m length is generally insufficient for the depth and currents of most rivers.
What is the primary benefit of the dual-position block?
It allows you to angle the net opening to best match the bank layout, ensuring the mouth of the net stays accessible.
What are the dimensions of the net frame?
The frame measures 450mm x 350mm.
Troubleshooting
Threaded connector feels loose
Check the plastic thread for debris or grit and ensure the bank stick attachment is compatible with standard fishing threads.
Net mesh is holding odor
Soak the net in a mild solution of non-biological soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and air dry in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the net, screw the connector block onto a standard bank stick or a keepnet attachment arm. Ensure the thread is tightened firmly but not overtightened to prevent damage to the plastic housing. For optimal care, always rinse the mesh in clean water after your session to remove silt, algae, and fish slime. Allow the net to dry completely in the shade before storage; prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can degrade the mesh integrity over time. Avoid dragging the net across sharp gravel, as this will accelerate wear on the base.
