Guru Barb Safe Net
5 Things To Know
- The Barbsafe open mesh is designed so a barbed hook caught in the net releases more easily.
- It comes in 400mm, 450mm and 500mm sizes for canals, all-round work and larger natural-water fish.
- The head is lightweight, so it moves through the water with less resistance.
- An aluminium thread screws onto standard landing-net handles, and a rubber washer helps stop the head twisting on the handle.
- The mesh is a dark, discreet colour rather than a bright shade.
Product Information
Guru's Barb Safe Net is aimed at natural-water anglers who use barbed hooks and want fewer frustrating mesh tangles. The open Barbsafe mesh is designed so a caught hook can be freed quickly, which helps keep unhooking calm and gets the angler fishing again sooner.
The range covers 400mm, 450mm and 500mm sizes. The 400 is the compact option for canals and smaller silverfish, the 450 is the all-rounder, and the 500 gives more room for bream, tench, chub or better bonus fish.
Guru keeps the head light and fast through the water. That matters when netting fish at reach, especially on rivers, drains and clear stillwaters where a clumsy head can spook fish or miss a quick chance.
The frame, spreader block and thread are built for regular use, with a rubber washer to help stop the head twisting on the handle. Discreet dark mesh also avoids bright flashes in clear venues. This is not just a general match net with a different label. It is a practical choice when barbed hooks are allowed and hook removal from the mesh is a regular nuisance.
For anglers fishing hemp, caster, worm or punched bread on natural waters, that hook-safe mesh can save time throughout a long session.
