The Seahorse Tackle Landing Net Sliding Handle Med Alum gives you a straightforward net for medium fish around that 30–60 cm mark. The sliding handle lets you work close against a 50–80 cm high jetty rail or over the side of a small boat without leaning too far. The hoop size gives enough coverage for flathead and similar fish while staying compact enough for narrow side decks under about 60 cm wide.

The aluminium handle keeps the weight down to something you can swing all day, while still coping with repeated lifts of a few kilos from 1–2 m of water. The black mesh stands out clearly against bright water when you look down from a height of around 1 m. The moulded grip section is long enough for a full hand wrap, roughly 10–15 cm, which helps when your gear is wet or covered in spray.

Q: Is this landing net suitable for use from small boats?

Yes, this medium sliding-handle net suits small boats. The adjustable aluminium handle lets you shorten the reach when space on the deck is tight. The compact hoop size helps prevent snagging on rails or other gear. It works well around common tinnie and runabout layouts where storage length matters.

Q: Can the sliding handle be shortened for transport?

Yes, the handle slides to reduce overall length. This makes it easier to stow in car boots, roof boxes, or side pockets in a boat. You can extend it when you reach the water and need more reach. The sliding design keeps the same net head while changing only the length.

Q: What type of fishing is this medium size best suited to?

This medium size suits general estuary and light inshore fishing. It is sized for common species that fit within a moderate hoop rather than very large fish. Anglers chasing bread-and-butter fish will find the capacity practical. The size also stays manageable for kids or new anglers.

Q: Does the aluminium handle need any special care after saltwater use?

The aluminium handle only needs a fresh water rinse after saltwater sessions. Rinsing removes salt crystals that can mark the surface over time. Let the net dry before long-term storage to avoid trapped moisture. Basic care like this keeps the handle and fittings working well.
