What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I like this net when I'm hopping between pocketwater and deeper runs because the size and reach feel right for almost everything. The Kevlar-wrapped frame is noticeably tougher, especially when bushwhacking into tighter canyons, and the TPU bag slices through current with almost no resistance."We rely on the Fishpond Nomad Emerger Net 2. 0 when the day leads us from tight pockets to broad glides, chasing whatever rises along the way. Its slim profile rides close against a sling or pack, staying out of the way as we weave through brush, scramble over slick boulders, and cover long stretches of river. With balanced proportions that handle small trout and big surprises alike, it's the single net we take when we don't know what the water will offer. Crafted from carbon fiber and fiberglass, the Emerger stays impressively light in hand, while the construction adds a full wrap of woven DuPont Kevlar fiber for elevated strength. The TPU net bag resists abrasion, stretches without tearing under load, and slips cleanly through fast current. With a matte finish to avoid glare and an integrated scale for quick checks, this net feels purpose-built for anglers who need one tool that handles the full range of river challenges.
