About Predator Landing Nets
Triangle nets suit deadbaiting from the bank, while spoon and round heads are popular with lure anglers.
A predator net needs a wide frame and a deep mesh to take a long, heavy fish safely.
Rubber coated mesh stops lure hooks snagging, which makes unhooking quicker and kinder to the fish.

How to Choose a Predator Landing Net
Size comes first, and many pike anglers use a net with 42 inch arms or a large spoon head. A smaller net may be fine for perch and zander but struggles with a big pike.
The mesh matters as much as the size. Rubber or rubber coated mesh resists trebles, while soft knotless mesh is lighter and gentle on scales and fins.
Triangle nets with long arms suit bank fishing for pike with deadbaits. Spoon and round heads are compact and easy to slide under a fish from a boat or while roaming with lures.
A strong, stiff handle helps when landing a heavy fish over marginal weed or from a high bank. Floating nets and handles are a sensible choice in a boat, where a dropped net could otherwise sink.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size landing net do I need for pike?
Many pike anglers use a net with 42 inch arms or a large spoon head. That gives enough room to land a big pike without bending it.
Why use a rubber mesh net for predators?
Rubber and rubber coated mesh stop treble hooks catching in the net. That makes unhooking faster, which is better for the fish.
Can I use a carp landing net for pike?
A large carp net can land a pike, but standard mesh tangles easily with lures and trebles. A predator net with rubber or fine mesh is easier to use.
Do I need a floating landing net?
A floating net is worth having in a boat, as it will not sink if dropped over the side. From the bank, a standard net is usually fine.
