Drennan Hook Resistant Acolyte Net
These new Drennan nets are unlike anything else on the market, offering significant technical improvements on what has gone before.
The mesh is kind to fish and hooks.The flat section has a super-fine weave that won’t easily snag your rigs. If it does, it will release them easily and quickly.
The nets hold their form and shape, so no need to ferret about untangling a small fish from the mesh and lose valuable match time. Other features include a lightweight but strong D-section frame, a robust metal spreader block and a stainless screw fitting. The nets come in 14ins (36cm), 16ins (41cm) and 18ins (46cm) sizes, and are ideal for both silverfish and carp.
