Fishpond
Nomad Mid-Length Boat Net
Best durable, buoyant landing net for boat-based anglers.
Meet the Fishpond Nomad Mid-Length Boat Net, which was developed because the original legendary Nomad Net needed a bigger basket specifically for boaters! This mid-length version delivers that larger basket along with a handle that makes stowing it away a breeze after you've released your catch. These nets are built tough for demanding fishing conditions, constructed from a durable carbon fiber/fiberglass composite material, making them very lightweight. Plus, they are waterproof, UV protected, and naturally float like a cork. It comes standard with a black rubber net bag for gentle fish handling.

Know before you buy
The mid-length handle is designed specifically for boaters who need a larger basket but want a more compact profile. It offers enough reach to land fish comfortably from a boat while remaining short enough to stow easily in a rod locker or under a seat.
No, it won't. The carbon fiber and fiberglass composite construction is naturally buoyant, meaning the net will float on the surface like a cork if it goes into the water.
Yes, the black rubber net bag is designed for gentle fish handling. It minimizes scale damage and slime coat removal compared to traditional knotted nylon netting, making it a much safer option for catch-and-release fishing.
Yes, the matte finish is specifically engineered to provide a secure, non-slip grip even when your hands are wet or covered in fish slime. It offers significantly more traction than a glossy or smooth handle.
This composite blend is exceptionally tough and built to withstand demanding fishing conditions. It is waterproof, UV-protected, and resistant to the wear and tear that typically degrades wooden or aluminum nets over time.
