What’s special about NETrekk rubber nets?It's a well-established fact that rubber fishing nets are the best net material for several reasons. The reasons I chose to use only the best and offer nets in clear or black rubber.
-
What’s the deal with slime?A fish's skin is protected with the help of mucus, also known as "slime." This slime prevents impurities from forming inside or on the fish's skin. The slime also helps keep the parasites, fungus, and bacteria from the fish's skin, keeping it healthy. Some fishing net materials damage scales or skin due to their rough textures, abrasiveness, and thin knotted fibers. Rubber nets have smooth, slippery surfaces so the fish skin and scale’s slime isn’t disturbed as much and won't harm it. A rubber net is simply the best way to increase their chances of survival.
-
How does it save time & tackle?Most people use more than two hooks, when you land a fish, a second hook can easily get tangled in the net. You often end up untangling or cutting the second hook out of the net before you can resume your fishing adventure. A smooth and slippery rubber fishing net, eliminates the problem.
-
Are silicone rubber nets worth it?Rubber fishing nets cost a little more than the fabric or string nets, but they’ll last longer, require less maintenance, and save you time when fishing, all while protecting the fish so you can enjoy landing them again.
-
How durable is silicone rubber vs. fiber nets?Rubber nets are rubbery and stretchable so they’re often stronger. They're also less prone to being cut from hooks or getting tangled up.
-
What’s better, clear or black nets?"This one is personal, so you have a choice. There are theories that a clear net won't "spook" the fish as you reach out to land them. Also, some people like the photo quality of their personal bests against an excellent crisp black background. The decision is yours.
-
What’s the deal with “sustainable” or “fish-friendly” fishing?Fishing is a great sport, but we all need to be safe and responsible as we catch & release our fish back into the waterways if we want it to continue. That’s sustainability. Our silicone rubber nets protect fish’s skin and scales from damage, so they’ll will survive to be caught again, and reproduce for your kids, and grand-kids to enjoy.
