Checks out all my criteria - fish-friendly, size, material and it looks good to =)

Lightweight, nice handle length for reach, deep basket and elongated rectangle head for easy maneuvering. Fits easily in the belt or holster.

Love this net! It's the perfect size. Small enough to carry wading, but big enough to land fish from a boat/raft. Not to mention it's a great local company here in Denver, CO!

I finally decided to take the plunge and invest in a great net. As I get older I find quality paramount. The price tag on fishpond stuff is a bit up there but I have never been let down. As I looked at different nets the fishpond kept calling based on looks as well as warranty. The nomad is one of their smaller nets and I was even encouraged by the staff and a friend to get a wider and longer version.
However, I stuck to my guns for one main reason. I wanted something that wouldn't get in the way as I traversed bushy terrain. The length of the net is perfect for me. I am fairly tall and lanky and find that I never am reaching too far to net fish. My last concern was the net width. It is a bit narrow but again, I wanted something that wouldn't be cumbersome. I have netted some sizable fish with this net (20"+) and yeah is gets crowded in the web but I have yet to have one flip out on me. This net suits me perfect and the fiberglass construction makes it light and yet very durable. Worth every penny.

I have had this net for over two years I’m very hard on my equipment. Friend I was fishing with set it behind my truck , accidentally backed over it , no damage their nets are beast I highly recommend the fish pond products.
