What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I carry the Native Net when I'm fishing tight creeks or moving fast between spots. It's so light I forget it's there, but the frame is stiff enough to control fish in quick water. The TPU bag is awesome-low drag, strong, and better for small trout than rubber nets that feel bulky."We reach for the Fishpond Nomad Native Net 2. 0 when our day takes us into tight canyons, shaded pocketwater, and those secret little bends where big fish somehow hide in small places. Built for minimalists who want full performance in a compact design, it clips easily to a vest or belt loop and stays secure as we hop rocks, crawl under branches, and follow rising trout through narrow channels. Despite its small footprint, the Native Net 2. 0's carbon-fiber and fiberglass frame offers surprising stiffness and durability while staying buoyant if it slips into the water. The PVC-free TPU bag stretches without tearing, sheds current quickly, and handles trout safely with minimal drag. With its matte finish to reduce glare and its featherlight feel, this net gives us dependable control without slowing our pace through the river's tighter spaces.
