Full details
The Wychwood Specimen Quickfold Net is designed for the roving specimen and carp angler who values mobility without compromising on the ability to land large fish. Its standout feature is the unique folding pan net design, which ensures a compact footprint during transit; however, anglers should note that the 22-inch size is specifically tailored for specific specimen types, so ensure it matches your target species size before heading to the bank.

FAQs
Is the net handle included?
No, the Wychwood Specimen Quickfold Net is typically sold as a net head only, requiring a standard landing net handle.
Can I replace the mesh if it tears?
Yes, the mesh is designed to be replaceable, though you should contact a Wychwood retailer for specific mesh spares for the 22-inch model.
Does the shake dry mesh harm the fish?
No, the shake dry material is designed to be fish-friendly and non-abrasive, prioritizing the safety of the fish while maintaining hygiene.
How do I store the net to keep it in good condition?
Store the net in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight, and always ensure it is completely dry before folding it for long-term storage.
Is this suitable for pike fishing?
While it is a specimen net, the 22-inch size is generally intended for smaller specimens. For large pike, a larger model or a specialized predator net may be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
The net arms feel loose in the spreader block.
Check the spreader block for mud or grit; clean with a soft brush and ensure the arms are inserted fully until they lock.
The magnet is not holding the mesh securely.
Inspect the magnet surfaces for dirt or debris and wipe them clean with a damp cloth; ensure the mesh is aligned correctly with the magnet points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the net, ensure the arms are fully seated in the spreader block until you feel a positive click or secure tension. This model is compatible with most standard landing net handles featuring a universal screw thread. For long-term care, always rinse the mesh in clean water after use, especially after fishing in stagnant or muddy waters, to protect the fabric integrity. Allow the net to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area—avoid leaving it stored while wet to ensure the longevity of the materials and to prevent mold growth. Check the spreader block periodically for debris that might hinder the folding mechanism.
