Acolyte Silverfish Landing Nets - YouTube
Drennan's Acolyte Silverfish Net is a lightweight landing-net head for natural-water and match anglers who want speed without rough fish handling. It is aimed at silverfish work, but the 16 inch, 18 inch and 20 inch sizes also give enough choice for skimmers, F1s and modest bonus fish.
The mesh is the important part. Drennan uses a light rubber coating, so hooks are less likely to catch and the material stays soft enough for careful fish care. That coating also means the mesh does not soak up water. A quick shake clears most of the water, which is useful during busy sessions where a wet, heavy net quickly becomes irritating on a long handle.
The frame and spreader are kept light, matching the Acolyte idea of refined tackle for repeated use. Smaller heads suit canals, drains and winter silverfish, while the 20 inch version gives extra room when better roach, perch, bream or commercial F1s are likely.
For anglers who fish fine lines and small hooks, this is the neat option. It focuses on quick netting, fast drying and fewer hook snags rather than oversized specimen capacity. That makes it especially useful for anglers fishing light hooklengths, small barbless hooks and busy peg-to-peg match sessions.
| Feature | What this means |
|---|---|
| 16 inch, 18 inch and 20 inch sizes | The range covers quick canal work through to larger silverfish and F1 sessions. |
| Lightweight frame and spreader | Low head weight makes repeated netting easier on longer handles. |
| Light rubber-coated mesh | Coated mesh helps hooks release more easily while staying soft against fish. |
| Hook-resistant material | Fine-wire hooks and small hooklengths are less likely to tangle in the net. |
| Quick-dry design | The mesh sheds water quickly before the head goes back on the rest or in the bag. |
| Silverfish-focused shape | The head is sized for speed and control rather than bulky specimen retention. |
| Natural-water suitability | Roach, perch, skimmers and small bream are natural targets for this net. |
| Fish-friendly soft mesh | Soft material helps protect fins, scales and slime during short handling. |
