Know before you buy
Rubber nets are significantly gentler on a fish's protective slime coat, which helps ensure their health after release. Additionally, rubber doesn't absorb water or odors, and unlike nylon, it won't snag your flies or freeze during cold-weather fishing.
You should match the replacement net to the specific frame size of your existing Fishpond Nomad net. Measure your current frame carefully to ensure you select the correct option between the 12.5", Small, or Large sizes.
The choice between Clear and Black is largely a matter of personal preference and visibility. Some anglers prefer the Clear mesh for a more subtle profile in the water, while others find the Black mesh easier to see when netting a fish in low-light conditions.
This replacement net is specifically designed to fit Fishpond Nomad frames. While it might physically fit other frames with similar dimensions, we cannot guarantee a proper fit or secure attachment on brands other than Fishpond.
